Chapter 1: Using the REST API 7
Obtaining Tokens and Testing Calls
Version 3.7
Specifying International Sites
To specify a site other than the US site (which is site 0) in your call, include a SiteId parameter for the
site and, for GetSearchResults, the
SearchLocationFilter.SearchLocation.SiteLocation.SiteID
parameter. The
SiteId parameter is case sensitive.
For example, to search for items listed on the Germany site, you could specify the following:
http://rest.api.ebay.com/
restapi?CallName=GetSearchResults&RequestToken=UserToken&RequestUserId=UserName&Query=toy
%20boat&Version=491&UnifiedInput=1&SiteId=77&SearchLocationFilter.SearchLocation.SiteLocation.Sit
eID=SiteImplied
Please see the “Field Differences for eBay Sites” topic in the unified schema documentation for
additional information about international sites, including the values to use in the
SiteId parameter:

TrackingID N String Specifies an ID to identify you to your tracking partner
(tracking provider).
The value you specify is obtained from your tracking partner.
For example, in the case of Commission Junction, the
TrackingID is the PID given to you by Commission Junction.

provider).
For example, if you specify a TrackingPartnerCode of 1 for
Commission Junction, the AffiliateUserID is your
Commission Junction Shopper ID (SID).
