Business Update

As a result of significant growth, our infrastructure — namely the dynamic routing of traffic to accommodate high volume customers — has recently required updates. Reworking architecture patterns and proxy configurations has taken us a fair amount of time, which in turn has led to some slower customer issue resolution. We'd like to assure you that we’ve identified and corrected the infrastructural shortcomings, and the outcome is a 50% increase in infrastructure and proxy capacity. We apologize for the potential business interruptions you may have experienced over the last couple months. Our aim is to earn your trust back and continue to support the realization of your business goals. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you require further information.

Help us choose our next API!

What should we build next? Our product team values your feedback. If you'd like to, let us know your thoughts on which APIs to include on our roadmap. Survey

Parts Compatibility when "type=product"

Countdown can now return "parts compatibility" data when the include_parts_compatability=true request parameter is set.

Master Product pages currently sold out indicator

When parsing type=product requests Countdown now returns a sold_out=true boolean when parsing a Master Product page that is "currently unavailable" on all selling channels (instead of the previous behaviour of returning an error).

Countdown API - Ebay Product Data API

Filter Collections by Last Run date

The Collections List API has been updated to allow sorting Collections by last_run date. You can also now filter the Collections by date using the last_run_before and last_run_after request parameters. The Collections Dashboard has also been updated to show the Last Run date for each Collection.
https://www.countdownapi.com/docs/collections-api/collections/list

Filter search requests using facets

A new facets parameter has been added to the type=search request. Facets allow you to specify search facets to limit your search requests by specific Ebay filters.
https://www.countdownapi.com/docs/ebay-product-data-api/parameters/search

Per-minute Collection scheduling improvements

The Per X Minutes Collection scheduling options have been extended to allow you to run Collections on a "Per X Minute" schedule restricted to specific hours of the day and days of the week or month. The schedule_hours, schedule_days_of_week and schedule_days_of_month can now be used with schedule_type=minutes Collections for additional flexibility. This allows for scenarios such as "run this Collection every 5 minutes, between 9am and 5pm, on weekdays only".
https://www.countdownapi.com/docs/collections-api/collections/create

Run Collections on a per-minute schedule

Collections can now be scheduled on a per-minute basis, in addition to the existing hourly, daily, weekly and monthly schedules. Set schedule_type=minutes when creating your Collection and specify the per-minute schedule using the schedule_minutes parameter. Per-minute schedules of every minute up to every hour are supported.
https://www.countdownapi.com/docs/collections-api/collections/create

Variants added to product/listing page response

A new variants array has been added to the Product/Listing page response showing the variants of the current product complete with price and stock status for each variant.
https://www.countdownapi.com/docs/ebay-product-data-api/results/product

Account Balance added to Account API

The Account API has been updated to include your current Account Balance in the account_balance_usd property. Your Account Balance is used to settle any Overage charges (to avoid multiple small overage charges being made to your payment card). You can top up your Account Balance at any time on the Account page of the Dashboard.

New parameter to exclude "results matching fewer words" in search results
