# eBay Analytics

You can use the eBay Analytics connector from the CData Sync application to capture data
from eBay Analytics and move it to any supported destination. To do so, you need to add
the connector, authenticate to the connector, and complete your connection.

## Prerequisites

To use the authentication schemes in the [Authenticate to eBay Analytics](#authenticate-to-ebay-analytics) section below, you must create a custom OAuth application that will enable you to access your data.

Before you create the custom application, you must join the [eBay Developers Program](https://developer.ebay.com/).

After you join this program, you can obtain the values for the following properties (required for authentication in Sync) from the **Application Keysets** page on the [eBay Developers Program](https://developer.ebay.com/) website.

* **OAuth Client Id**
* **OAuth Client Secret**

Copy and save these values to use later in the **Authenticate to eBay Analytics** section. Then, create your custom OAuth application, as follows:

1. Select the environment for your application:
   * Select **Production** if you want to obtain analytics data from your real eBay store.
   * Select **Sandbox** if you want to obtain analytics data from the eBay testing environment.
2. Expand the **Get a Token from eBay via Your Application** section.
3. In that expanded section, select **OAuth enabled** and set **Your auth accepted URL** to your preferred callback URL. In this section, you should also obtain and save the RuName (Redirect URL).

> [!NOTE]
>
> eBay Analytics requires a secure redirect URL (HTTPS). For desktop applications, you can set the URL to [https://oauth.cdata.com/oauth/](https://oauth.cdata.com/oauth/).

## Add the eBay Analytics Connector

To enable Sync to use data from eBay Analytics, you first must add the
connector, as follows:

<ol>
  <li>Open the **Connections** page of the Sync dashboard.</li>
  <li>Click **Add Connection** to open the **Select Connectors** page.</li>
  <li>Click the **Sources** tab and locate
  the **eBay Analytics** row.</li>

  <li>
    Click the **Configure Connection** icon at the end of that row to open
    the **New Connection** page. This action opens the
    **Add Connection** dialog.

    **Note:** If the **Configure Connection** icon is not
    available, click the **Download Connector** icon to install
    the eBay Analytics connector.
  </li>

  <li>Enter a name for your connection in the **Add Connection** dialog.</li>
  <li>Click **Add** to open the **Settings** tab for your connector.</li>
</ol>

For more information about installing new connectors, see
[Connections](https://docs.sync.cdata.com/26.4/en/connections/connections.md).

## Authenticate to eBay Analytics

After you add the connector, you need to set the required properties.

**Ru Name:** Enter the redirect URL name that is used for validation. This property is required only when you use the provider to allow other users to access their own data.

CData Sync supports authenticating to eBay Analytics in several ways. Select your authentication method below to proceed to the relevant section that contains the authentication details.

* [**OAuth**](#oauth) (default)
* [**OAuthClient**](#oauth-client)

### OAuth

To connect with OAuth custom credentials, specify the following properties:

* **Auth Scheme:** Select **OAuth**.
* **OAuth Client Id:** Enter the client identifier (Id) that you were assigned when you registered your application with an OAuth authorization server.
* **OAuth Client Secret:** Enter the client secret that you were assigned when you registered your application with an OAuth authorization server.

### OAuth Client

To connect with OAuth custom credentials, specify the following properties:

* **Auth Scheme:** Select **OAuthClient**.
* **OAuth Client Id:** Enter the client Id that you were assigned when you registered your application with an OAuth authorization server.
* **OAuth Client Secret:** Enter the client secret that you were assigned when you registered your application with an OAuth authorization server.

## Complete Your Connection

To complete your connection:

1. (Optional) For **Marketplace Id**, select the Id for your eBay Marketplace. The default Id is **DEFAULT**.
2. Define advanced connection settings on the **Advanced** tab. (In most cases, though, you should not need these settings.)
3. If you authenticate with OAuth, click **Connect to eBay Analytics** to connect to your eBay Analytics account.
4. Click **Create & Test** to create your connection.
