ItemSearch
is the operation that is used most often in requests. In general, when trying to find an item
for sale, you use this operation.
Availability
All locales.
Request Parameters
ItemSearch
has a lot of parameters. Not all of them pertain, however, to all search indices. For example,
when the search index is apparel, it would be inappropriate to use the
Actor
parameter. As a result,
each search index can use only a subset of all of the parameters. For a complete list of the
ItemSearch
parameters that can be used with a specific search index in a specific locale, refer to
Search Index and
ItemSearch Parameter Combinations (p. 398)
.
The parameters that apply to the largest number of search indices are shown in the following table.
