eBay Script Using Python 3 and eBay SDK

The goal of this project is to use eBay's API and SDK to search sold listings on eBay and compare item prices to active listing prices. Along with the price data you will also need to pull related auction data (auction end time, auction title, etc.) This data will be stored in a CSV where I will then run it through MATLAB to process the auction titles. Requirements: 1) Access eBay Finding API using Python 3 and eBay SDK library 2) Make good use of comments in Python to explain code 3) Cannot use additional scraping/parsing libraries (BeautifulSoup or Scrapy, etc.). Only use eBay SDK library. Program outline: Part I 1) Access eBay API 2) Search by keyword (user input) - Search sold listings - Search USA eBay only - Ask user which item condition to search for (new, used, new + used) - Search specific category (user input) 3) Collect information from eBay auctions in search results - Pull data: Title, item price, shipping price, auction format (auction or Buy-It-Now), end time/date, quantity 4) Save data to CSV file *The auction title is edited by me after the CSV is saved* Part II 1) Perform one search for each eBay listing stored in the CSV. (example: if 200 eBay auctions are stored in the CSV then perform 200 individual searches as outlined below) - Search by updated auction title (this is the auction title I modified for each CSV entry) - Search sold listings - Search USA eBay only - Search using item conditions stored in CSV - Search using specific category stored in CSV 2) Collect information from eBay auctions in search results - Pull data: Title, item price, shipping price, auction format (auction or Buy-It-Now), end time/date 3) Save each search to a unique CSV file. Name the CSV the same as the first 15 digits/characters as the updated auction title. Part III 1) Perform one search for each new unique CSV file from Part II. (example: if 200 CSV files are made in Part II then perform 200 individual searches as outlined below) - Search by updated auction title - Search ACTIVE listings - Search USA eBay only - Search all eBay categories 2) Collect information from eBay auctions in search results - Pull data: Title, item price, shipping price, auction format (auction or Buy-It-Now), end time/date 3) Save each search to a unique CSV file. Name the CSV "Active_[first 15 digits/characters as the updated auction title]". (example: [login to view URL])
