The eBay Listing Archiver is a Python script that uses python-ebay and the eBay API to archive an eBay listing. The eBay listing can be viewed as a typical HTML page, and all XML output from the eBay API about the listing is also archived.
There have been tons of hilarious or unusual eBay listings that would suck if they disappeared, so we'd like to be able to slurp them down for future generations to access.
- GetItem - Obtain all information about the item. This is a very extensive XML output, with basically everything you'd ever want to know. Awesome.
- GetDescriptionTemplates - Those crazy eBay description HTML templates need to be saved too.
From GetItem, grab all image URLs and any other links in the description.
Also make a list of any YouTube videos, so they can be obtained with youtube-dl.
