How to get listing views from trading api?

Since HitCounter is by default NoCounter, HitCount is not resturning anything anymore in GetSellerListRequest.

But eBay keeps showing you the views, so they have it, it is not related with the counter. Is there any way to get it without having the counter in hidden style?

If not, is there any way to change the counter using the eBay interface?

If not, is there any way to change it using the eBay trading api?

If I activate it now in existing listings, it will count from 0 or will show the real number?

Hi @carme-9686,

You can use the GetTrafficReport call of Sell.Analytics API to review how often a seller's listings appeared on eBay, how many times seller's listings are viewed, and how many purchases were made.

To know more about the call, please go through the link given below:

REF: https://developer.ebay.com/api-docs/sell/analytics/resources/traffic_report/methods/getTrafficReport

Know to how you can check listing views and listing performance via eBay UI, please follow the link given below:

Hi @carme-9686,

There is no API call available in Trading API, for getting the listing views. We suggest you use our new restful GetTrafficReport call of Sell.Analytics API for getting the listing views.
