Parameters	Details
API_KEY (required)	User's normal API Key
QUERY (required)	Search query. Example: iPhone
TLD	Top-level Ebay domain to scrape. This is an optional argument and defaults to “com” (ebay.com).

COUNTRY	country_code influences the language and the currency of the page. The TLD should be set to ‘com’ if you are using languages that are not used by the TLDs listed above.
SORT_BY	Instructs the API to sort the results. Supported values: ending_soonest newly_listed price_lowest price_highest distance_nearest best_match
PAGE	Page number
ITEMS_PER_PAGE	Number of items returned. Supported values: 60, 120, 240
