PicoEBayFindingClient

Pico Objective-C Client for the eBay Finding API

Note

1. This is only the proxy part of the PicoEBayFindingClient, you need to integrate with Pico Runtime before you can use this proxy, please follow instructions on Pico github site to add the Pico runtime library and the PicoEBayFindingClient in your iOS app, you may also start with the sample mentioned in Reference Sample section below.
2. You need to fill in eBayAppId in EBayFindingServiceClient before your app can invoke eBay Finding service.
3. Besides proxy code, this site also hosts the appledoc for the PicoEBayFindingClient.

##Example Usage With this proxy and the generic Pico runtime library, eBay Finding API invocation on iOS platform is quite simple:

        // start progress activity
        [self.view makeToastActivity];
        
        // Get shared service client
        EBayFindingServiceClient *findingClient = [EBayFindingServiceClient sharedClient];
        findingClient.debug = YES; // enable request/response message logging
        
        // Build request object
        Finding_FindItemsByKeywordsRequest *request = [[[Finding_FindItemsByKeywordsRequest alloc] init] autorelease];
        request.keywords = _searchText.text;
        // only need one item for demo
        Finding_PaginationInput *pagination = [[Finding_PaginationInput alloc] init];
        pagination.pageNumber = [NSNumber numberWithInt:1];
        pagination.entriesPerPage = [NSNumber numberWithInt:1];
        request.paginationInput = pagination;
        [pagination release];
        
        // make API call and register callbacks
        [findingClient findItemsByKeywords:request success:^(Finding_FindItemsByKeywordsResponse *responseObject) {
            
            // stop progress activity
            [self.view hideToastActivity];
            
            if ([Finding_AckValue_SUCCESS isEqualToString:responseObject.ack]) {
                if (responseObject.searchResult.count > 0) {
                    // show the title of the first found item
                    Finding_SearchItem *item = [responseObject.searchResult.item objectAtIndex:0];
                    
                    // start image downloading progress activity
                    [self.view makeToastActivity];
                    // get gallery image
                    NSURL *imageURL = [NSURL URLWithString:item.galleryURL];
                    NSData *imageData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:imageURL];
                    // stop progress activity
                    [self.view hideToastActivity];
                    
                    UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithData:imageData];
                    [self.view makeToast:item.title duration:3.0 position:@"center" title:@"Success" image:image];
                } else {
                    // no result
                    [self.view makeToast:@"No result" duration:3.0 position:@"center"];
                }
            } else { // response residenet error
                Finding_ErrorData *errorData = [responseObject.errorMessage.error objectAtIndex:0];
                [self.view makeToast:errorData.message duration:3.0 position:@"center" title:@"Error"];
            }
        } failure:^(NSError *error, id<PicoBindable> soapFault) {
            
            // stop progress activity
            [self.view hideToastActivity];
            
            if (error) {
                [self.view makeToast:[error localizedDescription] duration:3.0 position:@"center" title:@"Error"];
            } else if (soapFault) {
                SOAP12Fault *soap12Fault = (SOAP12Fault *)soapFault;
                SOAP12Reasontext *reasonText = [soap12Fault.reason.text objectAtIndex:0];
                [self.view makeToast:reasonText.value duration:3.0 position:@"center" title:@"SOAP Fault"];
            }
        }];
