Hi All -

I am a business analyst that has been tasked to create a functional specification with basic API references and pseudocode examples for an application to update parts compatibility / fitment for motorcycle parts. I have been reading eBay API documentation and rather than figuring out the basic actions that need to happen I am becoming more confused.

What the client has requested is that, using the current listing tool, SixBit Software provided listing tool,

1. They enter a manufacturers part number when creating a listing, not adding any compatibility information.

2. List item.

3. At a specified interval ( guestimating every 6 to 12 hours ) a call is made to look for records (items) listed with a manufacturers part number and no compatibility information.

4. If an item is found that meets the specified criteria ( i.e. a part number but no compatibility information) the record is then updated from an existing parts database kept in house that is maintained as a master record of parts compatibility.

What I am looking for is just a bit of guidance on if this seems foolish and any direction to where to look in the API documentation to see if this is a possibility.

Thanks !
