Which eBay API should I use?
| I want to... | Use | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Confirm which eBay user an OAuth token represents | Identity API | The Identity API's GET /user/ returns the authenticated account profile so you know whose data you are about to read. |
| Retrieve seller payouts, balances, and transactions | Finances API | The Finances API lists payouts, funds summaries, and the orders, refunds, and fees that net to each settlement for reconciliation. |
Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the eBay APIs to your agent
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the eBay APIs, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.
Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fapiz.ebay.com" | sh2
Step 2: Agent machine
# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fapiz.ebay.com" | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.
Once connected, ask your agent something like: “confirm the eBay seller and list their payouts”.
Why Jentic?
What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring these eBay APIs by hand means running the seller OAuth 2.0 flow, refreshing tokens, and mapping both the profile read and the payout and transaction reads against the apiz.ebay.com host yourself. With Jentic you install Jentic One once, add the eBay Identity and Finances APIs from the Jentic directory, store the OAuth credentials once, and your agent calls them by intent.
Permission scoping
Every operation across both APIs is read-only, and Jentic One is self-hosted so your own rules decide which ones the agent may call. You can grant just the single profile lookup and the specific Finances reads you need, and because payout and transfer ids sit in the URL path you can pin the agent to a specific settlement and its summaries.
Credential isolation
FAQs
Specific to using eBay APIs through Jentic.
What can an agent do across eBay's Identity and Finances APIs?
It can confirm which eBay account an OAuth token represents through the Identity API, then read that seller's payouts, funds balance, and the transactions that make up each settlement through the Finances API. Together they cover authenticating a seller and reconciling their cash movement, but not changing listings, issuing refunds, or moving money.
Do both APIs share one set of eBay credentials?
Both use eBay OAuth 2.0 on the same apiz.ebay.com host, but each depends on the specific scopes the user grants. A single authorisation covers both only when the user consents to both the identity profile scope and the finances scopes, so plan the consent screen for the fields you actually need.
Are these APIs read-only?
Yes. The Identity API exposes a single read of the user profile and the Finances API only lists and summarises payouts, transactions, and balances. Neither can create a listing, issue a refund, or trigger a payout, which makes the pair suited to reporting, reconciliation, and audit workflows.
In what order should an agent call them?
Confirm the account first with the Identity API's GET /user/, then call the Finances API. Recording the eBay user identifier before pulling payout data keeps every settlement tied to the account it belongs to, which matters when one integration serves many sellers.
