Automate eBay Taxonomy

What eBay Taxonomy is
Use the Taxonomy API to discover the most appropriate eBay categories under which sellers can offer inventory items for sale, and the most likely categories under which buyers can browse or search for items to purchase.

How automating eBay Taxonomy 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 Taxonomy account.
- Grant access, then go live. You approve the specific eBay Taxonomy operations it may use — and only those.

Questions about eBay Taxonomy automation
- Can HumDay connect to eBay Taxonomy?
- Yes. HumDay reads eBay Taxonomy'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 Taxonomy?
- 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 Taxonomy account.
- What can HumDay do in eBay Taxonomy?
- 0 of the 8 documented operations change something in eBay Taxonomy, and 8 read from it. HumDay only ever uses the specific operations your approved contract needs.
- Is my eBay Taxonomy 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 Taxonomy is held behind that approval.
