eBay Analytics supports the OAuth 2.0 Authentication method. To perform this authentication, you need to first join the eBay Developers Program.

Register an OAuth Application and get your OAuth credentials

You can follow the procedure below to obtain the OAuth client credentials, the OAuthClientId, OAuthClientSecret and the RuName.

1. In the developers program Home, select the Application access keys option from the dropdown list of the "Hi YourAccountName" menu bar button.
2. On the Application Keys page. create an OAuth application and request a pair of OAuth credentials for either your Production environment or for your Sandbox one.
3. After generating and saving your App ID (Client ID) and your Cert ID (Client Secret), click User Tokens next to your App ID (Client ID) of the keyset you want to use.
   • Use production keys if you are getting analytics data from your real eBay store.
   • Use sandbox keys if you are looking to get analytics data from the eBay testing environment.

4. Click Get a Token from eBay via Your Application and in the expanded section make sure that you select OAuth enabled and set Your auth accepted URL to your preferred Callback URL. Here you should also retrieve and save the RuName (redirect_uri).

   Note that eBay Analytics requires a secure Redirect URI (https). For Desktop applications you can set this to https://oauth.cdata.com/oauth/ and optionally, the CallbackURL connection property to a local Redirect URL (for example, http://localhost:33333).

After following these steps, save the OAuthClientId, OAuthClientSecret and RuName with the configured CallbackURL.
