WWW::Search::Ebay::Completed - backend for searching completed auctions on www.ebay.com
use WWW::Search; my $oSearch = new WWW::Search('Ebay::Completed'); my $sQuery = WWW::Search::escape_query("Yakface"); $oSearch->native_query($sQuery); $oSearch->login('ebay_username', 'ebay_password'); while (my $oResult = $oSearch->next_result()) { print $oResult->url, "\n"; }
This class is a Ebay specialization of WWW::Search. It handles making and interpreting Ebay searches http://www.ebay.com.
This class exports no public interface; all interaction should be done through WWW::Search objects.
You MUST call the login() method with your eBay username and password before trying to fetch any results.
The search is done against completed auctions only.
The query is applied to TITLES only.
See the NOTES section of WWW::Search::Ebay for a description of the results.
Takes two string arguments, the eBay userid and the eBay password. (See WWW::Search for more information.)
This method does the heavy-lifting of fetching encrypted pages from ebay.com. (See WWW::Search for more information.)
To make new back-ends, see WWW::Search.
Please tell the author if you find any!
Thanks to Troy Arnold <troy at zenux.net> for figuring out how to do this search.
