ebay API in Access?

[ConTactMe]

Just wondering if anyone is familiar with the ebay API (private license)?
I'm wondering if it's possible to integrate into VB/VBA for a personal
database, and if it's complicated.

Thanks for the advice.

Yes, you can integrate it into an Access database, using VB/A. It's not
really complicated, but to interpret / view the XML response data you'll
have to learn how to traverse the nodes in an XML doc tree using various
methods and properties. I did this with airline flight/reservation data
from a GDS.

The eBay system is at http://developer.ebay.com/DevProgram/developer/api.asp

In eBay, you submit and receive XML data via HTTP calls to their XML server.
Since it uses XML, you set a reference to the Microsoft XML 3.0 (or 4.0)
library, which will give you the ability to process (create, edit, read) XML
document objects using VBA code.

Here's where to see sample code:
