WWW::S...ategory(3pm)

💖 WWW::Search::Ebay::Category ✨

okay so bestie, this is the WWW::Search::Ebay::Category page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's basically the lil back-end that goes "hey ebay dot com, gimme a WHOLE CATEGORY" 🛍️💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

WWW::Search::Ebay::Category — backend for returning entire categories on www.ebay.com 🦋

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

like, here's the whole vibe:

use WWW::Search;
my $oSearch = new WWW::Search('Ebay::Category');
# Category 1381 is Disney Modern Premiums:
$oSearch->native_query(1381);
while (my $oResult = $oSearch->next_result())
  { print $oResult->url, "\n"; }

no cap, that's it. category 1381 is Disney Modern Premiums, in case you were wondering 🏰✨

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So this class is the Ebay specialization of WWW::Search — it's the one handling the making and the interpreting of Ebay searches over at http://www.ebay.com. It's giving "specialist." It's giving "I only do Ebay, and I do it well." 👑

This class exports no public interface — meaning all your interaction is supposed to happen through WWW::Search objects. Don't come at it directly, okay? Go through the proper channels bestie 🙈

---

⭐ NOTES ⭐

It returns the "first" 200 auction items in the category you gave it. And when I say "first", I mean it's in quotes for a REASON — the author literally does not know what exactly "first" means in this case. YMMV fr fr 💀

It is up to you to figure out the number of the category you want. That's your job, not the module's. Do your research, girlie 🔍

For a description of the results, go peek at the NOTES section of WWW::Search::Ebay. iykyk 📝
