Thanks for the list. I am changing an old BANS software to a feed from a different network. It works fine…except… it does not page. the next link just shows the same items. I am going crazy trying to figure out what is different from one to the other.
Test page is here: http://music.snickslist.com/Store/CDs
A couple files are here: http://music.snickslist.com/FrontControl.zip
If you could give me any clue, I would very much appreciate it!

I’ve only discovered this today and have no idea about RSS or API but I’ve got to start from somewhere

If you view the source of the below, you will see from=R8, You have R6 listed so I changed it and compared two. It looks like one returns US listing (R8) but display results in £ and the other is UK listing (R6)

I would recommend using the API to do the search. You could use RSS, but adjusting the sacat and the satitle to search.

Here is a link to the API search:

It is really nice list of variables. But what i observer is that for minimum price they used saprclo and for maximum price they used variable name saprchi. I have one question, if buyer wants to select payment type like paypal, direct payment or credit card etc. When searching how can he select the products with specific payment type ? Thank you

Hi, I really need to know how to limit the number of items returned. Couldn’t find an answer yet. Could you help?

Hello

I can’t fully remember, but I want to say that items returned is only manageable via the API. I want to say that the RSS feed will return <= 100 results.

What I do is parse the RSS result into a array then iterate through the loop and display what you need. This is how I do paging and displaying a smaller set of results.

Hope this helps.
