Why Jentic?
What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring eBay by hand means implementing OAuth 2.0 twice, the client-credentials flow for buyer-side application tokens and the authorization-code flow for seller user tokens, then pointing requests at the right api.ebay.com host for each of these APIs. With Jentic you install once, add the eBay APIs you need from the Jentic directory, store the eBay OAuth credentials once, and your agent calls them.
Permission scoping
Many eBay operations put a resource id in the URL path, such as a campaign, order, shipment, or charity id, so your own rules can pin an agent to a single resource. You also choose which operations an agent may call, so a read-only shopping agent can be limited to Browse and Deal lookups while a fulfillment agent gets order reads and shipping without refunds unless you add them.
Credential isolation
FAQs
Specific to using eBay APIs through Jentic.
Does one eBay credential work across all of these APIs?
No. All eBay APIs use OAuth 2.0, but buyer-side discovery APIs such as Browse, Item Feed Service, Deal, Buy Marketing, and Catalog accept an application access token from the client-credentials grant, while seller-side APIs such as Account, Marketing, Fulfillment, Feed, Analytics, Compliance, Negotiation, and Recommendation require a seller user token from the authorization-code grant. Each API also expects its own scope, so you request tokens per API rather than sharing one.
Which eBay APIs need seller consent and which do not?
Buyer-side discovery APIs run on an application token with no user consent, so an agent can search listings, read deals and best-sellers, and download feeds without a seller signing in. Seller-side APIs operate in the authenticated seller's context and require that seller to complete an OAuth consent flow before the agent can manage policies, ads, orders, or performance data on their behalf.
How do the buyer-side and seller-side eBay APIs fit together?
The buyer-side APIs (Browse, Item Feed Service, Catalog, Deal, Buy Marketing, Charity) discover and describe listings, while the seller-side APIs (Account, Marketing, Recommendation, Negotiation, Fulfillment, Feed, Analytics, Compliance) configure and operate a seller's own listings and orders. A full workflow often starts with catalog matching and discovery, then moves into seller setup, advertising, and fulfillment.
