  2. Filtering eBay search results by location, price range, and buying format to find auction items within a specific budget.
  3. Using pagination to retrieve multiple pages of eBay search results for comprehensive data collection.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the API key credential for SerpApi is correctly configured and valid.
  • Check that required parameters like the search query (_nkw) are provided when category_id is not specified.
  • If no results are returned, verify the search parameters such as domain, location, and filters are correctly set.
  • Timeout errors may occur if the server is slow; adjust the timeout setting in Request Options if needed.
  • Avoid using async and no_cache parameters together as they are incompatible.
