Need more power for your eBay-related applications? Discover how you can pass the eBay application growth check to increase the API call limits for your eBay developer account. Typically, API limits are set to 5,000 calls per day, but many developers require more to serve their customers effectively. By successfully applying for an eBay application growth check, you can increase this limit substantially.
There are two main avenues you can take: purchasing a pre-approved developer account with a higher API limit or creating a new account and going through the growth check process yourself. This article outlines the steps to achieve either option, including how to request an application growth check and how to leverage existing Multi-Channel Integration Platforms to meet eBay’s requirements without developing your own application.
Finally, we explain the validation process to ensure that your newly increased API call limit is up and running, using the eBay API explorer tool to make the ‘getRateLimits’ call through the Analytics API.
Whether you’re looking to buy a ready-to-use developer account or you plan to go through the application growth check yourself, this guide provides valuable insights into the process. Learn from the included example links and understand the criteria necessary for eBay’s approval.
