NAME

eBay::API::XML::Call::GetAttributesCS::GetAttributesCSResponseType

DESCRIPTION

Returns XML that describes how to present Item Specifics to a seller and how to validate selected eBay attributes on the client before including them in an AddItem call or related calls. See the Developer's Guide for an overview of Item Specifics and details about the eBay attribute model. Also returns the current version of the meta-data system.

SYNOPSIS

INHERITANCE

eBay::API::XML::Call::GetAttributesCS::GetAttributesCSResponseType inherits from the eBay::API::XML::ResponseDataType class

Subroutines:

setAttributeData()

A string containing a list of all the attributes that are applicable to the site (or characteristic sets in the request), along with related meta-data. The meta-data specifies all the possible values of each attribute, the logic for presenting attributes to a user, and rules for validating the user's selections. Individual elements are not described in the eBay schema format. For information about each element in the AttributeData string, see the attribute model documentation in the eBay Web Services guide (see links below).<br> <br> Because this is returned as a string, the XML markup elements are escaped with character entity references (e.g., &amp;lt;eBay&amp;gt;&amp;lt;Attributes&amp;gt; ...). See the appendices in the eBay Web Services guide for general information about string data types.
