Zoho Creator: eBay: Get Item Transaction

: Category: Zoho; 22 January 2022; Hits: 15714

What?
This is the function to get the line item order/transaction from eBay if you give it the eBay Item ID as a parameter.

Why?
Mostly for debugging but here's the code that will quickly get the XML of a GetItemTransactions request to eBay.

How?
You'll need an access token for eBay which I documented on how you can generate one in my article: Zoho Creator: Push to eBay Listings. Then you can use the following code, note that the parameter is the eBay Item ID:

copy raw

void API.fn_eBayQuery_GetItemTransaction(int p_ItemID)
{
	/*
    Function: fn_eBayQuery_GetItemTransaction()
    Input: int p_ItemID (eBay Item ID)
    Purpose: Fetches a line item transaction per item ID

                    - Initial release

Note to parse a multiple transaction item
This is an update 2025 that if you want to use the Zoho Deluge .toXmlList() function:

copy raw

xl_TransactionArray = x_MainNode.executeXPath("/TransactionArray/Transaction").toXmlList();
for each x_Transaction in xl_TransactionArray
{
     v_TransactionID = x_Transaction.executeXPath("/Transaction/TransactionID/text()");
}

xl_TransactionArray = x_MainNode.executeXPath("/TransactionArray/Transaction").toXmlList();
for each x_Transaction in xl_TransactionArray
{
v_TransactionID = x_Transaction.executeXPath("/Transaction/TransactionID/text()");
}
