PicoEBayShoppingClient

Pico Objective-C Client for the eBay Shopping API

Note

1. This is only the proxy part of the PicoEBayShoppingClient, you need to integrate with Pico Runtime before you can use this proxy, please follow instructions on Pico github site to add the Pico runtime library and the PicoEBayShoppingClient in your iOS app, you may also start with the sample mentioned in Reference Sample section below.
2. You need to fill in eBayAppId in EBayShoppingServiceClient before your app can invoke eBay Shopping service.
3. Besides proxy code, this site also hosts the appledoc for the PicoEBayShoppingClient.

##Example Usage With this proxy and the generic Pico runtime library, eBay Shopping API invocation on iOS platform is quite simple:

        // start progress activity
        [self.view makeToastActivity];
        
        // Get shared service client
        EBayShoppingServiceClient *shoppingClient = [EBayShoppingServiceClient sharedClient];
        shoppingClient.debug = YES; // enable request/response message logging
        
        // Build request object
        Shopping_FindPopularItemsRequestType *request = [[[Shopping_FindPopularItemsRequestType alloc] init] autorelease];
        request.queryKeywords = _searchText.text;
        // only need one item for demo
        request.maxEntries = [NSNumber numberWithInt:1];
        
        // make API call and register callbacks
        [shoppingClient findPopularItems:request success:^(Shopping_FindPopularItemsResponseType *responseObject) {
            
            // stop progress activity
            [self.view hideToastActivity];
            
            if ([Shopping_AckCodeType_SUCCESS isEqualToString:responseObject.ack]) {
            
                if (responseObject.itemArray.item.count > 0) {
                    // show the title of the first found item
                    Shopping_SimpleItemType *item = [responseObject.itemArray.item objectAtIndex:0];
                    
                    // start image downloading progress activity
                    [self.view makeToastActivity];
                    // get gallery image
                    NSURL *imageURL = [NSURL URLWithString:item.galleryURL];
                    NSData *imageData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:imageURL];
                    // stop progress activity
                    [self.view hideToastActivity];
                    
                    UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithData:imageData];
                    [self.view makeToast:item.title duration:3.0 position:@"center" title:@"Success" image:image];
                } else {
                    
                    // no result
                    [self.view makeToast:@"No result" duration:3.0 position:@"center"];
                }
                
            } else { // response resident error
                Shopping_ErrorType *error = [responseObject.errors objectAtIndex:0];
                [self.view makeToast:error.shortMessage duration:3.0 position:@"center" title:@"Error"];
            }
        } failure:^(NSError *error) {
            
            [self.view makeToast:[error localizedDescription] duration:3.0 position:@"center" title:@"Error"];
