Getting aution info and bidding stopped working #5

Closed alexpilotti closed 7 years ago

alexpilotti commented 7 years ago

Trying to retrieve bid info on ebay.com on any auction, returns non existing data. Everything used to work until recently. I wonder if changes in the Ebay site caused the scraping to stop working:

http://<host>/auction/<id>

{
    "ended": true,
    "endingAt": "1970-01-01T00:00:00.000Z",
    "location": null,
    "bidCount": 0,
    "shippingCost": "UNK 0.0",
    "currentBid": null,
    "id": "<id>",
    "buyNowPrice": null,
    "defaultCurrency": "UNK",
    "title": "",
    "seller": {
        "id": null,
        "feedback": 0,
        "positivePercentage": 100
    },
    "thumbnailUrl": null
}

Hi @alexpilotti, thanks for submitting this! I can confirm that it's not working now. This is probably due to changes on the ebay.com site, as you said. I'll take a look at this later this week.
