Test Ebay API - Githubissues

Description

This issue pertains to testing the search_items_API function for eBay's API with the product keyword "lenovo" and site code "eb". The objective of these test cases is to validate the API's response structure, content, and data accuracy. These tests ensure that the API meets required functionality standards, particularly concerning the data returned for each search result, including fields like price, link, image link, and timestamp.

Objective

To verify that the search_items_API function consistently returns well-structured, non-empty results with valid data types and field formats for items on eBay.

Test Cases

1. Basic Response Validation

Test: test_api_ebay
Objective: Ensure the API returns a non-None result.
Expected Outcome: API response is not None.

2. Non-Empty Results

Test: test_api_ebay1
Objective: Ensure that the API returns at least one result.
Expected Outcome: len(results) > 0.

3. Expected Number of Results

Test: test_api_ebay2
Objective: Check if the API returns exactly 10 results.
Expected Outcome: len(results) == 10.

4. Result Type Validation

Test: test_api_ebay3
Objective: Verify that the API returns a list.
Expected Outcome: results is an instance of list.

5. Item Type Validation

Test: test_api_ebay4
Objective: Ensure each item in the results list is a dictionary.
Expected Outcome: isinstance(results[0], dict).

6. Field Presence Validation

Tests: test_api_ebay5 through test_api_ebay9
Objective: Ensure each result dictionary contains the required fields (price, link, img_link, title, timestamp).
Expected Outcome: Each field exists in every item dictionary.

7. Price Format Validation

Test: test_api_ebay_collected_produce_price
Objective: Confirm that each price is formatted correctly as a float.
Expected Outcome: Each price can be converted to a float without error.

8. Title Presence Validation

Test: test_api_ebay_collected_produce_title
Objective: Ensure each item has a non-empty title.
Expected Outcome: Each title is non-empty.

9. Link Format Validation

Test: test_api_ebay_collected_produce_link
Objective: Verify that each item has a valid URL link starting with http, https, or www.
Expected Outcome: Each link has the correct format.

10. Image Link Format Validation

Test: test_api_ebay_collected_produce_img_link
Objective: Validate that each item’s image link is a properly formatted URL.
Expected Outcome: Each image link starts with http, https, or www.

11. Timestamp Presence Validation

Test: test_api_ebay_collected_produce_timestamp
Objective: Ensure each item contains a non-empty timestamp.
Expected Outcome: Each timestamp is non-empty.

Summary

These test cases collectively aim to ensure that search_items_API produces consistent and accurate outputs, confirming the structure and validity of each result item for eBay searches. Any failure in these test cases should prompt a review of the API implementation or its data handling to ensure data quality and usability for end-users.
