The Browse API has the following resources:
- item_summary:
Allows shoppers to search for specific items by keyword, GTIN, category, charity, product, image, or item aspects and refine the results by using filters, such as aspects, compatibility, and fields values, or UI parameters. - item:
Allows shoppers to retrieve the details of a specific item or all items in an item group, which is an item with variations such as color and size and check if a product is compatible with the specified item, such as if a specific car is compatible with a specific part.
This resource also provides a bridge between the eBay legacy APIs, such as the Finding, and the RESTful APIs, which use different formats for the item IDs.
