Etsy API Info API key: jydjjl78x1gb73jboqntx9o1

Search active listings (without search parameters) https://openapi.etsy.com/v2/listings/active?api_key=jydjjl78x1gb73jboqntx9o1

Search trending listings listings/trending

Possible parameters to use (Add parameters to the end using & between each one.)

keywords - searches entire listing for keyword;best to not use & between multiple words limit - default is 25 sort_on - default is created (can sort by created date, score, price) sort_order - default is down min_price max_price Can also use tag but I think keyword searches through the tag

Example queryURL https://openapi.etsy.com/v2/listings/active?api_key=jydjjl78x1gb73jboqntx9o1&keywords=stlouiscardinals&max_price=25&sort_on=price&sort_order=up

Searches for St. Louis Cardinals items with a max price of $25 and sorts by price, lowest price to highest

Data returned (most applicable) listing_id title description price url

The initial JSON does not include any images to link to. To do that, we'd need to send a separate API using the listing ID. That API returns links to images of 75x75, 170x135, 570xN.

Sample queryURL for images: https://openapi.etsy.com/v2/listings/589100974/images?api_key=jydjjl78x1gb73jboqntx9o1

Looked into Best Buy API. They won't give an API key to anyone using a free email address or .edu email. I only have a hotmail account and gmail account, so I can't get a key. Do either of you guys have an email address that would work? https://developer.bestbuy.com/
