Automate eBay Metadata
HumDay reads eBay Metadata’s own published API description and derives 8 operations from it. Describe the outcome you want in plain words — you get a program that is written, proven on real data, and run for you.
What eBay Metadata is
The Metadata API has operations that retrieve configuration details pertaining to the different eBay marketplaces. In addition to marketplace information, the API also has operations that get information that helps sellers list items on eBay.
API host: api.ebay.com{basepath}

How automating eBay Metadata works
- Describe the outcome. Say what you want to happen, in your own words. No node graphs, no field mapping.
- Approve the contract. HumDay writes down exactly what it will do, what it will touch, and what it will never do. You approve it before anything is built.
- See it proven. The program runs and shows you the result before it is allowed near your live eBay Metadata account.
- Grant access, then go live. You approve the specific eBay Metadata operations it may use — and only those.

Questions about eBay Metadata automation
- Can HumDay connect to eBay Metadata?
- Yes. HumDay reads eBay Metadata's own published API description and derives the operations from it, so there is no hand-built connector to wait for. 8 operations are documented.
- Do I need to write code to automate eBay Metadata?
- No. You describe the outcome you want in plain words. HumDay agrees a contract with you, writes the program, and shows you a test run before anything touches your eBay Metadata account.
- What can HumDay do in eBay Metadata?
- 0 of the 8 documented operations change something in eBay Metadata, and 8 read from it. HumDay only ever uses the specific operations your approved contract needs.
- Is my eBay Metadata account safe?
- Your credentials are stored encrypted and are never shown in chat, code, or logs. Every run is limited to the operations you explicitly approved, and anything that writes to eBay Metadata is held behind that approval.
Where this came from
The operations above are read from a published API description for eBay Metadata at developer.ebay.com/api-docs/master/sell/metadata/openapi/3/sell_metadata_v1_oas3.json. Descriptions are the provider’s own words, not ours. Last published 2023-03-05.
