Browse API /search itemSummaries itemLocations not fully populated

I'm running a /search using the Browse API, which works well - except I can not pull the itemLocation information I want from the itemSummaries - I get something like this:


{'addressLine1': None, 'addressLine2': None, 'city': None, 'country': 'US', 'county': None, 'stateOrProvince': None, 'postalCode': '750**'}


I'd like access to the city and state here, but they are not populated. Instead, I need to call getItem just to get the city and state, which will quickly eat up my API quota.


Is this expected behavior? Or should the itemLocation in itemSummaries be fully populated?

Hi @ampitupco ,

Please include fieldgroups parameter in your request URL and set the value as EXTENDED to get the more information under itemLocation field.

Ref: https://developer.ebay.com/api-docs/buy/browse/resources/item_summary/methods/search#uri.fieldgroups

Here is the sample request URL.
"https://api.ebay.com/buy/browse/v1/item_summary/search?q=iphone&fieldgroups=EXTENDED"

Best regards ,

Well, that gets me closer - and provides the itemLocation.city - but no stateOrProvince.

I'm going to bump this...

Even using the fieldgroups parameter as EXTENDED the Browse API's /item_summary/search call is not returning the state that the item is located in.

Here's the call:

https://api.ebay.com/buy/browse/v1/item_summary/search?q=iphone&fieldgroups=EXTENDED

Here's one result:

"itemLocation": {

"city": "Taunton","postalCode": "027**","country": "US"}

This is still not working as I would expect. If I use this call:

https://api.ebay.com/buy/browse/v1/item_summary/search?q=2018+gmc+yukon+engine&fieldgroups=EXTENDED

All of the results only show a city, partial zip code and the country, similar to this:

"itemLocation": { "city": "Saint James", "postalCode": "655**", "country": "US"}


Why isn't the full zip and state/province included?
