GET/item/get_items_by_item_group

This method retrieves details about individual items in an item group. An item group is an item that has various aspect differences, such as color, size, storage capacity, etc.

You pass in the item_group_id as a URI parameter.

This method returns two main containers:

  • items
    This container has an array of containers with the details about each item in the group.
  • commonDescriptions
    This container has an array of containers for a description and the item_ids for all items that have this exact description. Because items within an item group often have the same description, this decreases the size of the response.
Setting the fieldgroup to ADDITIONAL_SELLER_DETAILS adds an additional field to the response that returns the seller's user ID. For more information, refer to fieldgroups.

Restrictions

Sample 1: Get Item Details for a Group of Items

This sample returns a specific group of items by passing in the ID of the group. The group ID is the item ID of the parent item of the group. This ID is returned in the itemGroup field.

Input

The input is item_group_id URI parameter, which specifies the ID of the group. There is no payload with this request.

GEThttps://api.ebay.com/buy/browse/v1/item/get_items_by_item_group?item_group_id=1**********9

Output

In this example, the group is for a man's shirt with variations, such as color and size capacity. The items container lists each individual item with its unique aspects. The itemHref returns the code for the call to return the item details, which include shipping, discount, and return policy information.

All these items have the same description. So only the short description is included in each item. At the bottom of the response is the commonDescriptions container, which has the description and a list of the item IDs that use this description.
