If the RSS feed doesn't include recently modified listings then this is
definitely not what I'm looking for.

I tested my rss shop feed to see if changing a description on a listing
would move it to the top of the feed. It did not. I changed one that was
not showing in the feed and it did not move into the feed. The shop rss
does not appear to be ordered by modified date.

We modify people's inventory in realtime to make sure they actually have
exactly what is listed on each listing quantity. While we can use the feed,
this will not suffice as there is risks of missing / dropping a feed, and
even a single miss for a customer is bad. For this reason, no matter what,

Without documentation (or a reliable description) about what causes
something to go into the RSS feed (and what doesn't), I probably won't use
it. If I rely on it and it has edge cases I'm unaware of, it could break
my app.

But I'll keep it in mind as I may find a use for it in the future.

Hi David,
This would be a bit of a hack/workaround in the absence of the API
providing direct support for what you need so it's not something we're
likely to document. It is formatted as standard
RSS<[link]>though and it appears to return
the last 10 listings for the shop.

The rss feeds may be helpful to me. Is there any documentation on them so
I can learn more about them? I can't really tell from that example what
gets pushed to the feed or how it works (updates in the past week? X
number of updates? etc.)

Re: Get number of carts a particular listing is in

Hi Jim,
If you're making requests on behalf of the buyer, you can see the listings
in a cart with the
Cart<[link]>or
GuestCart<[link]>API
calls.

If you mean to query for carts of a seller's listing then I don't believe

Not for treasuries (which is my bigger focus currently). For team
listings, I considered the shop rss feeds, but my team is pretty huge and
I'd still have to poll each feed regularly only to find no updates.

Hi Anthony,
Sorry, but we don't yet have API access to wedding registries. We'd
definitely like to make it available in the future though for the obvious
benefits.

Thanks,
Matt

Hi Kristen and David,
Could you use the shop RSS feeds to find which items for a shop recently
changed?

Get number of carts a particular listing is in

scrimo...@gmail.com (Jim Warwick) — Thu, 23 May 2013 19:46:49 UT

Hi,
I am new to the API so maybe this already exists somewhere. Is there a way
to indicate if a particular listing is in someone's cart currently (or how
many carts it is in)?
Thanks!

I could use this as well.

When a user visits my site, the first thing I try to do is synchronize our
site with the latest changes from their shop.

The only way for me to find out what listings have been updated is to
actually look at all of that user's listings. If they have 200+ listings,

Most of what I do with the api is for a team. If a team tag is added to a
listing after creating the listing (let's say the shop owner joins the team
and wants to add the team tag to their existing listings that are relevant
to the team) the only way to find a newly tagged item is to get them ALL,

Hi,
If this is not how we currently return results from the
findAllListingsActive<[link]>call,
then this isn't currently available. I'm curious though, could you
share how you would like to use listings sorted in this way?

Hey guys,
I've been looking through the documentation of the API and I haven't been
able to find any way to get a Wedding Registry list.
Does anyone know if and how this is possible?
Regards,
Anthony
