Etsy API

yeah, large websites like etsy may block your requests, so you may need to use rotating proxies

@peter-john-craske have you considered using the Etsy API? You'll need to get approval for your app to access accounts other than yours though.

I did give it some thought, but read it's quite complicated and there's little documentation

@peter-john-craske there's plenty of documentation and using the Etsy API is no harder than using any other API.

@peter-john-craske did you work with APIs before?

No, but I am very keen to learn...

@peter-john-craske start here https://learnwithhasan.com//build-and-sell-apis-course/ . I offer help on a 1on1 basis if you wish, calendar link in the signature.

@peter-john-craske did you finish the course? tried anything?

the first step is to understand how to work with APIs.

@admin I did buy the API course, just not sure where to start when working with the Etsy api

@peter-john-craske mmm, I mean are you familair with APIs. calling APIs, and reading json?

just to know where to start and help

@admin thanks, I know nothing other than what i've leant in the course from you 😀

@peter-john-craske I suggest you think of a small project to get some practice on. Something easy, like getting a list of your email from Google that you can store in a Google Sheets document. You'll need to developer account for Google and there is plenty of documentation on using the API.

I think, as  SSAdvisor stated, you should start with some basic examples before you go through complex scenarios.

start with the exercises mentioned in the course, and then try connecting with some api on Rapidapi, learn how to read and use the json data, and then you can go with whatever project you want.

and if you need help with anything, we are here to help

@admin Ok that sounds good, I will start on this and update you on my progress 😊
