  • OAuth Client
• Complete Your Connection
• More Information

You can use the eBay Analytics connector from the CData Sync application to capture data from eBay Analytics and move it to any supported destination. To do so, you need to add the connector, authenticate to the connector, and complete your connection.

Prerequisites

To use the authentication schemes in the Authenticate to eBay Analytics section below, you must create a custom OAuth application that will enable you to access your data.

Before you create the custom application, you must join the eBay Developers Program.

After you join this program, you can obtain the values for the following properties (required for authentication in Sync) from the Application Keysets page on the eBay Developers Program website.

• OAuth Client Id

• OAuth Client Secret

Copy and save these values to use later in the Authenticate to eBay Analytics section. Then, create your custom OAuth application, as follows:

1. Select the environment for your application:

   • Select Production if you want to obtain analytics data from your real eBay store.

   • Select Sandbox if you want to obtain analytics data from the eBay testing environment.

2. Expand the Get a Token from eBay via Your Application section.

3. In that expanded section, select OAuth enabled and set Your auth accepted URL to your preferred callback URL. In this section, you should also obtain and save the RuName (Redirect URL).

Note: eBay Analytics requires a secure redirect URL (HTTPS). For desktop applications, you can set the URL to https://oauth.cdata.com/oauth/.

Add the eBay Analytics Connector

To enable Sync to use data from eBay Analytics, you first must add the connector, as follows:

1. Open the Connections page of the Sync dashboard.

2. Click Add Connection to open the Select Connectors page.

3. Click the Sources tab and locate the eBay Analytics row.

4. Click the Configure Connection icon at the end of that row to open the New Connection page. If the Configure Connection icon is not available, click the Download Connector icon to install the eBay Analytics connector. For more information about installing new connectors, see Connections.

Authenticate to eBay Analytics

After you add the connector, you need to set the required properties.

• Connection Name - Enter a connection name of your choice.

• Ru Name - Enter the redirect URL name that is used for validation. This property is required only when you use the provider to allow other users to access their own data.

CData Sync supports authenticating to eBay Analytics in several ways. Select your authentication method below to proceed to the relevant section that contains the authentication details.

• OAuth (default)
• OAuthClient

OAuth

To connect with OAuth custom credentials, specify the following properties:

• Auth Scheme – Select OAuth.

• OAuth Client Id - Enter the client identifier (Id) that you were assigned when you registered your application with an OAuth authorization server.

• OAuth Client Secret - Enter the client secret that you were assigned when you registered your application with an OAuth authorization server.

OAuth Client

To connect with OAuth custom credentials, specify the following properties:

• Auth Scheme – Select OAuthClient.

• OAuth Client Id - Enter the client Id that you were assigned when you registered your application with an OAuth authorization server.

• OAuth Client Secret - Enter the client secret that you were assigned when you registered your application with an OAuth authorization server.

Complete Your Connection

To complete your connection:

1. (Optional) For Marketplace Id, select the Id for your eBay Marketplace. The default Id is DEFAULT.

2. Define advanced connection settings on the Advanced tab. (In most cases, though, you should not need these settings.)

3. If you authenticate with OAuth, click Connect to eBay Analytics to connect to your eBay Analytics account.

4. Click Create & Test to create your connection.
