Hi,

I want to create an API through which i should be able to browse all the
products/items on Etsy from my own web page. I dont want to create any
store on Etsy. i have just fetch the items/product from Etsy and should be
able to display on web page. Main problem for me is that I don't know from
where to start

Thanks in advance.

The first step is to learn beginner PHP, then go to http://www.etsy.com/developers/ and read the helpful info about how to get started.

Just a note about terminology - Etsy creates and maintains an API, not us.

You have to have a store on Etsy in order to store items/products on Etsy. If you don't want to have a store on Etsy, honestly I'd have to suggest you're better off using another service.

I would disagree with Julian. Having multiple outlets to sell your products: on Etsy, on Facebook, on your own website, is a great strategy. You can definitely achieve what you're trying to do with the Etsy API. First thing you want to do is sign up as an Etsy developer to get an API key, then browse the developers documentation.

Or, you can go with an already-made app that will do what you want. Etsy Theme Shop lets you put your app on Facebook and your website:

Good luck :)

Disagreeing with Julian is noble, but Krishna stated "I dont want to create any store on Etsy". I was responding to that.

Someone who wants to have a standalone store on their own website, and feels like "I dont want to create any store on Etsy" probably shouldn't use Etsy, since really it's a community marketplace with an API, not vice versa.

But sure, it could work fine. Etsy provides a great system for storing and managing everything related to an online store, since that's what they do.

Exactly. Etsy can be the inventory management, and he would just use the API to pull that. Sounds like that's the idea he was trying to convey. English isn't his first language.
