GetCategoryFeatures

eBay arranges its selling categories in a hierarchal tree structure, which you can retrieve using the GetCategories call. Each category has a set of features and value settings that dictate how the category behaves. The initial set of features and values is defined at the site level, and each top-level category inherits its default set of feature settings from the site. Throughout the category hierarchy, each child category inherits the feature settings from its parent. In many cases, a category overrides some of the feature settings that it inherits from its parent.

GetCategoryFeatures returns information that describes the feature and value settings that apply to the set of eBay categories.

Request Details

GetCategoryFeatures has several parameters that give you control over the responses: DetailLevel, ViewAll, AllFeaturesForCategory, FeatureID, LevelLimit, and CategoryID.

Depending on how you set these parameters in your call, the response will contain one or more of the following containers:

The SiteDefaults container defines the initial set of behaviors and values that each top-level category inherits. If a feature definition has a version number, it is returned as an attribute.

If a Category container is returned, it identifies a category that overrides the feature settings, either from the site settings or its parent settings (the settings for the category specified with CategoryID are always compared with the default site settings). In other words, Category containers provide details about feature overrides. Consequently, subcategories that have the same feature settings as their parents are not returned in a Category container.

Use GetCategoryFeatures in combination with GetCategories to check whether a site and its categories support various features. For example, you can check which categories support the Best Offer feature, or you can check which categories support 10-day listing durations for fixed-price items. Specify the features you want information about by using FeatureID. If you do not specify a FeatureID value, GetCategoryFeatures returns information about all features.

Although there are many variations to the parameters you can pass to GetCategoryFeatures, a few combinations provide the most useful information. The most common queries return the site defaults, the durations for a specific listing format, or the features settings of a specific category.

Obtaining the Site Defaults

The most fundamental use of GetCategoryFeatures is to return the complete list of features along with the default feature settings for the site. To obtain this response, call GetCategoryFeatures with the DetailLevel set to ReturnAll and AllFeaturesForCategory set to true. Here, eBay returns the details for the root category node.

Obtaining the Settings for a Specific Category

Perhaps the most useful call for GetCategoryFeatures is the one that returns information on one specific category. Set ViewAll to true, DetailLevel to ReturnAll, AllFeaturesForCategory to true, and specify the desired category with CategoryID. eBay returns all the category feature definitions (not just the overrides), along with the default site settings and feature durations. If you need information for more than a single category, repeat the call with a modified CategoryID value.

Obtaining Listing Durations

If you need to determine the possible listing durations for a particular listing format, any call to GetCategoryFeatures with DetailLevel set to ReturnAll returns the site's ListingDurations container.

Obtaining Feature Settings for the Entire Site

The most comprehensive response from GetCategoryFeatures is obtained when you set ViewAll to true and DetailLevel to ReturnAll. If you do not specify a CategoryID value, eBay returns the settings for the entire site. Here, the response includes listing durations, site defaults, and Category containers for every category that overrides the settings inherited from its parent node. Beware, the result from this call can be quite large: eBay starts at the root category node and returns category information for every node that has any feature differences (overrides) from those that it inherits from its parent node. For the eBay US site, the response is over 15 thousand lines.

If you supply a CategoryID, eBay returns the listing durations as well as the default site settings. eBay also returns the details for the specified category and any of its children categories that have overrides. The response from this call can be considerably smaller than the one where CategoryID is not specified.

Obtaining Settings for Specific Features

If you only work with certain features, you can retrieve data more quickly by specifying a FeatureID value for each feature in which you are interested. In this case, the call returns the categories that override the inherited settings for the features you specify.

The Listing Durations Feature

Use GetCategoryFeatures to check the listing durations allowed for a given listing format before you specify the duration in AddItem. Listing durations are also returned by GeteBayDetails, however, whereas GeteBayDetails defines all possible durations, GetCategoryFeatures shows which durations are applicable to each listing format. To find the durations allowed for your type of listing, match the value for the SiteDefaults.ListingDuration type with the values given for the durationSetID in the FeatureDefinitions container.

Note that GetCategoryFeatures does not return 1-day duration settings, even if the listing type allows them. A seller must meet several requirements before they can list an item for a 1-day duration, including the seller's feedback score, the auction format, and the category type. Check ListingDurationCodeType to see if the listing type supports 1-day durations.

Working with the Response

Due to the large number of eBay categories, the response from GetCategoryFeatures uses an override and inheritance model to keep the size of the response as manageable as possible. In some cases, you need to interpret the response to get the information you need.

For example, suppose you want to see the category settings for BestOfferedEnabled. The figure below shows that Best Offer is not enabled for the site (BestOfferEnabled=false). Because eBay returns a Category container only when the associated category overrides the settings it inherits from its parent, Category containers are returned only for categories 112, 21 and 2111 because they override the settings inherited from their parent category.

Note that if you set CategoryID to 2111, the response for that category will not include BestOfferEnabled information because it is the same as the site default. However, if you set CategoryID to 21, both 21 and 2111 will contain BestOfferEnabled settings: 21 overrides the site default and 2111 overrides the setting inherited from its parent (211).

Best Practices

GetCategoryFeatures returns a lot of information and its information changes infrequently. Because of this, eBay recommends that you call GetCategoryFeatures a few times per week and that you refresh any database of feature details you maintain only when the CategoryVersion number has changed.

See GetCategoryFeatures Samples for more details.

Testing GetCategoryFeatures

Even though GetCategoryFeatures is supported in the Sandbox, the call does not modify item data and you can run GetCategoryFeatures in the production environment to see true site results. To verify that you're correctly using GetCategoryFeatures, try these following tests:

Argument Type Occurrence Meaning
Standard Input Fields   [Jump to call-specific fields]
DetailLevel DetailLevelCodeType Optional,
repeatable: [0..*]
Detail levels are instructions that define standard subsets of data to return for particular data components (e.g., each Item, Transaction, or User) within the response payload. For example, a particular detail level might cause the response to include buyer-related data in every result (e.g., for every Item), but no seller-related data. Specifying a detail level is like using a predefined attribute list in the SELECT clause of an SQL query. Use the DetailLevel element to specify the required detail level that the client application needs pertaining to the data components that are applicable to the request.

The DetailLevelCodeType defines the global list of available detail levels for all request types. Most request types support certain detail levels or none at all. If you pass a detail level that exists in the schema but that isn't valid for a particular request, eBay ignores it processes the request without it. For each request type, see the detail level tables in the Input/Output Reference to determine which detail levels are applicable and which elements are returned for each applicable detail level. (Some detail level tables are still in the eBay Web Services guide. They will be moved to the Input/Output Reference in a future release.)

Note that DetailLevel is required input for GetMyMessages.

With GetSellerList and other calls that retrieve large data sets, please avoid using ReturnAll when possible. For example, if you use GetSellerList, use a GranularityLevel or use the GetSellerEvents call instead. If you do use ReturnAll with GetSellerList, use a small EntriesPerPage value and a short EndTimeFrom/EndTimeTo range for better performance.

Applicable values:

•   ReturnAll

(in) Returns all available data. With GetSellerList and other calls that retrieve large data sets, please avoid using ReturnAll when possible. For example, if you use GetSellerList, use a GranularityLevel or use the GetSellerEvents call instead. If you use ReturnAll with GetSellerList, use a small EntriesPerPage value and a short EndTimeFrom/EndTimeTo range for better performance.

•   ReturnSummary

(in) Returns the summary data. For GetMyMessages, this detail level returns the same data whether or not you include MessageIDs or AlertIDs in the request. Returns up to 10 FolderID and FolderName values. Currently, this detail level is the only way to retrieve FolderID and FolderName values. See "GetMyMessages" in the eBay Web Services Guide for a code sample that demonstrates this.


(Not all values in DetailLevelCodeType apply to this field.)
ErrorLanguage string Optional Use ErrorLanguage to return error strings for the call in a different language from the language commonly associated with the site that the requesting user is registered with. Specify the standard RFC 3066 language identification tag (e.g., en_US).

See Tags for the Identification of Languages.

MessageID string Optional In most cases, all calls support a MessageID element in the request and a CorrelationID element in the response. If you pass a message ID in a request, we will return the same value in CorrelationID in the response. You can use this for tracking that a response is returned for every request and to match particular responses to particular requests. If you do not pass MessageID in the request, CorrelationID is not returned.

Note: GetCategories, GetAttributesCS, GetCategory2CS, GetAttributesXSL, GetProductFinder, GetProductFinderXSL, and GetProductSearchPage are designed to retrieve very large sets of metadata that change once a day or less often. To improve performance, these calls return cached responses when you request all available data (with no filters). When this occurs, the MessageID and CorrelationID fields aren't applicable. However, if you specify an input filter to reduce the amount of data returned, the calls retrieve the latest data (not cached). When this occurs, MessageID and CorrelationID are applicable.
OutputSelector string Optional,
repeatable: [0..*]
You can use the OutputSelector field to restrict the data returned by this call. When you make a call such as GetItem that retrieves data from eBay, the OutputSelector field is useful for restricting the data returned. This field makes the call response easier to use, especially when a large payload would be returned. If you use the OutputSelector field, the output data will include only the fields you specified in the request. For example, if you are using GetItem and you want the item data in the response to be restricted to the ViewItemURL (the URL where a user can view the listing) and BuyItNowPrice, then within the GetItem request, specify those output fields. To use this field, see the information at the following link.

See Selecting Fields to Retrieve.

Version string Conditional The version number of the API code that you are programming against (e.g., 549). The version you specify for a call has these basic effects:
- It indicates the version of the code lists and other data that eBay should use to process your request.
- It indicates the schema version you are using.
You need to use a version that is greater than or equal to the lowest supported version.

For the SOAP API: If you are using the SOAP API, this field is required. Specify the version of the WSDL your application is using.

For the XML API: If you are using the XML API, this field has no effect. Instead, specify the version in the X-EBAY-API-COMPATIBILITY-LEVEL HTTP header. (If you specify Version in the body of an XML API request and it is different from the value in the HTTP header, eBay returns an informational warning that the value in the HTTP header was used instead.)

See:
    HTTP Headers (XML API Only)
    eBay Schema Versioning Strategy
    Lowest Supported Version

WarningLevel WarningLevelCodeType Optional Controls whether or not to return warnings when the application passes unrecognized or deprecated elements in a request.

An unrecognized element is one that is not defined in any supported version of the schema. Schema element names are case-sensitive, so using WarningLevel can also help you remove any potential hidden bugs within your application due to incorrect case or spelling in field names before you put your application into the Production environment.

WarningLevel only validates elements; it doesn't validate XML attributes. It also doesn't control warnings related to user-entered strings or numbers, or warnings for logical errors.

We recommend that you only use this during development and debugging. Do not use this in requests in your production code.

Applicable values:

•   High

(in) Return warnings when the application passes unrecognized or deprecated elements in a request.

•   Low

(in) Do not return warnings when the application passes unrecognized or deprecated elements in a request. This is the default value if WarningLevel is not specified.


See Warning Level.

Call-specific Input Fields
AllFeaturesForCategory boolean Optional Use this switch to view all of the site overrides for a specific category. This element works in conjunction with CategoryID--refer to the notes for that element for more details.
CategoryID string Optional Specifies the category for which you want feature settings.

Specify a CategoryID, set DetailLevel to ReturnAll, and set ViewAllNodes to true to return the default site settings, the overrides for the specified category, plus all the child categories that have overrides on the features they inherit.

If you also set AllFeaturesForCategory to true, eBay returns the site defaults, plus all the site overrides for the specified category. Child category information is not returned in this case.

If CategoryID is not specified, eBay returns the feature settings for the site. To return details on all categories that have overrides on the properties they inherit, set DetailLevel to ReturnAll, and set ViewAllNodes to true. If you also set AllFeaturesForCategory to true, eBay returns only the site defaults with no child category information.
Max length: 10.
FeatureID FeatureIDCodeType Optional,
repeatable: [0..*]
Retrieves data related to the specified feature setting only. If no feature IDs are specified, the call retrieves data for all feature settings.

Applicable values: See FeatureID.
LevelLimit int Optional A level of depth in the category hierarchy. Retrieves all category nodes with a CategoryLevel less than or equal to the LevelLimit value.
ViewAllNodes boolean Optional You must set DetailLevel to ReturnAll in order to correctly populate the response when you set ViewAllNodes to true. In this case, eBay returns the site defaults along with all the categories that override the feature settings they inherit. In this case, each Category container shows only the features that it has overridden from its parent node.

If you also specify a CategoryID, eBay returns the details for that category, along with containers for each of its child categories that have feature overrides.

Note that if ViewAllNodes is set to false (the default) and DetailLevel is set to ReturnAll, eBay returns only the leaf categories that have features that override the settings they inherit. In this case, the call will not return leaf categories that do not have overrides.
Default: false.

Return Value Type Occurrence Meaning
Standard Output Fields   [Jump to call-specific fields]
Ack AckCodeType Always A token representing the application-level acknowledgement code that indicates the response status (e.g., success). The AckCodeType list specifies the possible values for Ack.

Applicable values:

•   CustomCode

(out) Reserved for internal or future use.

•   Failure

(out) Request processing failed

•   Success

(out) Request processing succeeded

•   Warning

(out) Request processing completed with warning information being included in the response message


(Not all values in AckCodeType apply to this field.)
Build string Always This refers to the specific software build that eBay used when processing the request and generating the response. This includes the version number plus additional information. eBay Developer Support may request the build information when helping you resolve technical issues.
CorrelationID string Conditionally In most cases, all calls support a MessageID element in the request and a CorrelationID element in the response. If you pass a message ID in a request, we will return the same value in CorrelationID in the response. You can use this for tracking that a response is returned for every request and to match particular responses to particular requests. If you do not pass MessageID in the request, CorrelationID is not returned.

Note: GetCategories, GetAttributesCS, GetCategory2CS, GetAttributesXSL, GetProductFinder, GetProductFinderXSL, and GetProductSearchPage are designed to retrieve very large sets of metadata that change once a day or less often. To improve performance, these calls return cached responses when you request all available data (with no filters). When this occurs, the MessageID and CorrelationID fields aren't applicable. However, if you specify an input filter to reduce the amount of data returned, the calls retrieve the latest data (not cached). When this occurs, MessageID and CorrelationID are applicable.
Errors ErrorType Conditionally,
repeatable: [0..*]
A list of application-level errors (if any) that occurred when eBay processed the request.

See Error Handling.

Errors.ErrorClassification ErrorClassificationCodeType Conditionally API errors are divided between two classes: system errors and request errors.

Applicable values:

•   CustomCode

(out) Reserved for internal or future use.

•   RequestError

(out) An error has occurred either as a result of a problem in the sending application or because the application's end-user has attempted to submit invalid data (or missing data). In these cases, do not retry the request. The problem must be corrected before the request can be made again. If the problem is due to something in the application (such as a missing required field), the application must be changed. If the problem is a result of end-user data, the application must alert the end-user to the problem and provide the means for the end-user to correct the data. Once the problem in the application or data is resolved, resend the request to eBay with the corrected data.

•   SystemError

(out) Indicates that an error has occurred on the eBay system side, such as a database or server down. An application can retry the request as-is a reasonable number of times (eBay recommends twice). If the error persists, contact Developer Technical Support. Once the problem has been resolved, the request may be resent in its original form.


Errors.ErrorCode token Conditionally A unique code that identifies the particular error condition that occurred. Your application can use error codes as identifiers in your customized error-handling algorithms. See the "Errors by Number" document.
Errors.ErrorParameters ErrorParameterType Conditionally,
repeatable: [0..*]
This optional element carries a list of context-specific error variables that indicate details about the error condition. These are useful when multiple instances of ErrorType are returned.
Errors.ErrorParameters
  [ attribute ParamID ]
string Conditionally The index of the parameter in the list of parameter types returned within the error type.
Errors.ErrorParameters.Value string Conditionally The value of the variable (e.g., the attribute set ID)
Errors.LongMessage string Conditionally A more detailed description of the condition that raised the error.
Errors.SeverityCode SeverityCodeType Conditionally Indicates whether the error is a severe error (causing the request to fail) or an informational error (a warning) that should be communicated to the user.

Applicable values:

•   CustomCode

(out) Reserved for internal or future use

•   Error

(out) Application-level error

•   Warning

(out) Warning or informational error


Errors.ShortMessage string Conditionally A brief description of the condition that raised the error.
HardExpirationWarning string Conditionally Expiration date of the user's authentication token. Only returned within the 7-day period prior to a token's expiration. To ensure that user authentication tokens are secure and to help avoid a user's token being compromised, tokens have a limited life span. A token is only valid for a period of time (set by eBay). After this amount of time has passed, the token expires and must be replaced with a new token.
Timestamp dateTime Always This value represents the date and time when eBay processed the request. The time zone of this value is GMT and the format is the ISO 8601 date and time format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.SSSZ). See Time Values in the eBay Web Services guide for information about this time format and converting to and from the GMT time zone.

Note: GetCategories, GetAttributesCS, GetCategory2CS, GetAttributesXSL, GetProductFinder, GetProductFinderXSL, and GetProductSearchPage are designed to retrieve very large sets of metadata that change once a day or less often. To improve performance, these calls return cached responses when you request all available data (with no filters). When this occurs, this time value reflects the time the cached response was created. Thus, this value is not necessarily when the request was processed. However, if you specify an input filter to reduce the amount of data returned, the calls retrieve the latest data (not cached). When this occurs, this time value does reflect when the request was processed.
Version string Always The version of the response payload schema. Indicates the version of the schema that eBay used to process the request. See "Standard Data for All Calls" in the eBay Web Services Guide for information on using the response version when troubleshooting "CustomCode" values that appear in the response.
Call-specific Output Fields
Category CategoryFeatureType Conditionally,
repeatable: [0..*]
A category whose feature settings are different from the settings of its parent category.

For example, suppose there is a branch of the category tree with 5 category levels (L1, L2, L3, L4, and L5). Suppose the feature settings for SiteDefaults, L1, L4, and L5 are all "A", and the settings for L2 and L3 are "B". In this case:
L1's settings (A) match the site default, so L1 is not returned.
L2's settings (B) are different from L1's, so L2 is returned.
L3's settings (B) are the same as L2's, so L3 is not returned
L4's settings (A) are different from L3's, so L4 is returned
L5's settings (A) are the same as L4's, so L5 is not returned.

If you specified a particular FeatureID in the request, this field only returns feature settings for that feature. Only returned when the category is different from its parent. If the category has children and they aren't returned, it means the children inherit the category's feature settings.

DetailLevel: ReturnAll.
Category.AdFormatEnabled AdFormatEnabledCodeType Conditionally Indicates whether the Classified Ad format feature is enabled for this category.

Applicable values:

•   ClassifiedAdEnabled

(out) The lead generation Classified Ad Format feature is enabled for the category.

•   ClassifiedAdOnly

(out) The category supports the lead generation Classified Ad Format feature only.

•   CustomCode

(out) Reserved for internal or future use.

•   Disabled

(out) The Ad Format feature is disabled for the category.

DetailLevel: ReturnAll.
Category
  .AttributeConversionEnabled
AttributeConversionEnabledCodeType Conditionally Indicates whether eBay has converted the category from ID-based attributes to custom Item Specifics. Only applicable to categories that previously supported ID-based attributes. If conversion is Enabled or Disabled, we recommend that you avoid rendering ID-based attributes and custom Item Specifics together for items in that category (to avoid displaying the same Item Specifics twice).

If conversion is Enabled or Disabled and the category is flagged as CatalogEnabled in GetCategory2CS, you can use GetItemRecommendations to retrieve product details in the custom Item Specifics format instead of using GetProductSellingPages to retrieve product details in the ID-based attributes format.

With version 607 and lower, categories with attribute conversion Enabled or Disabled do not return recommendations in GetCategorySpecifics.

Applicable values:

•   CustomCode

(out) Reserved for internal or future use.

•   Disabled

(out) eBay has converted the category from ID-based attributes to only support custom Item Specifics. ID-based attributes are no longer supported. AddItem and related calls will fail if you pass ID-based attributes in the request.

•   Enabled

(out) eBay has converted the category from ID-based attributes to only support custom Item Specifics. With this setting:

You can pass one format or the other in the same AddItem request, but you can't pass both formats together. If you pass in ID-based attributes in the AddItem family of calls, eBay will convert them to custom Item Specifics on your behalf.

•   NotApplicable

(out) eBay has not converted the category from ID-based attributes to only support custom Item Specifics. AddItem and related calls may support passing both formats in the same request (if the category supports both formats.)

The safe payment requirement also applies to two-category listings that have one ship-to or available-to location in the US, Canada, or Australia.

  .ExpressConditionRequired
boolean Conditionally Deprecated as of version 579. No longer functional.
Specifies whether most categories on the site require a listing to include the Item Condition attribute in order to qualify for eBay Express.

If true, items on the site require the Item Condition in order to qualify for Express, but specific categories can override this requirement. For example, on the US site, the Item Condition is normally required for Express listings. However, the Event Tickets category could override this requirement because there is little need to distinguish between new and used tickets. (People rarely sell used tickets after an event unless the ticket is also a collectible item.)
If false, items on the site do not require the Item Condition, but some categories may override the setting.

Only meaningful if ExpressEnabled is true for the category.

DetailLevel: ReturnAll.
Deprecation version: 579. See also Deprecated Objects.
SiteDefaults.ExpressEnabled boolean Conditionally Deprecated as of version 579. No longer functional.
Specifies whether most categories on the site are eligible for eBay Express. eBay Express is a specialty site where customers can buy new, fixed-price goods in a more conventional e-commerce experience.

If true, items on the site are eligible for Express, but specific categories can override the setting if they don't support Express. For example, categories that are not covered by PayPal Buyer Protection (e.g., Live Auctions and Motors vehicles) are excluded from Express.
If false, items on the site are not eligible for Express, but some categories may override the setting.

If you list in an Express-enabled category, it does not necessarily mean that the item will appear in that category when buyers browse and search Express. It only means that the item can also be included on Express, assuming all other Express eligibility requirements are met. See "eBay Express" in the eBay Web Services guide for information about other eligibility requirements.

For example, on the US site, pictures are normally required for Express listings. However, the Event Tickets category could override this requirement if pictures are not commonly expected for tickets.

  .HandlingTimeEnabled
boolean Conditionally Specifies the default site setting for whether a handling time (dispatch time) is required for most categories.

The handling time is the maximum number of business days the seller commits to for preparing an item to be shipped after receiving a cleared payment. The seller's handling time does not include the shipping time (the carrier's transit time).

If false, most listings on the site require a handling time (see DispatchTimeMax in AddItem) when flat or calculated shipping is specified. (A handling time is not required for local pickup or for freight shipping.)

For a list of the handling time values allowed for each site, use DispatchTimeMaxDetails in GeteBayDetails.

  .ItemSpecificsEnabled
ItemSpecificsEnabledCodeType Conditionally Specifies whether most categories support on the site support custom Item Specifics. If enabled, sellers can use the Item.ItemSpecifics node in AddItem and related calls to fill in Item Specifics.

Item Specifics are typical aspects of items in the same category. They enable users to classify items by presenting descriptive details in a structured way. For example, in a jewelry category, sellers might describe lockets with specifics like "Chain Length=18 in." and "Main Shape=Heart", but in a Washers & Dryers category, sellers might include "Type=Top-Loading" instead of "Main Shape=Heart".

Note: This does not indicate whether categories support the older ID-based attribute format. For attributes, use GetCategory2CS instead. If your application supports ID-based attributes, see AttributeConversionEnabled to determine whether or not you may need to suppress ID-based attributes for the category.
