Websiting

This morning I was doing more work on my ebay wordpress plugin.

If anyone is interested, below is a list of url parameters that you can use in an ebay search query url. This blog post: eBay Search URL Structure Explained explains another format of search url that you can use on ebay, and also includes a list of all the country numerical ids that you can use in your ebay search url parameters.

This list below is not an exhaustive list, there are quite a few other parameters you could use as well. In my wordpress plugin I only intend on including a few of these parameters, to match the parameters supported by the EPN link generator.

_nkw= //keywords
&_in_kw= //search type 1=All words, any order, 2=Any words, any order, 3=Exact words, exact order, 4=Exact words, any order
&_ex_kw= //exclude keywords - don't use as can exclude keywords in normal way e.g. 'Watch -battery' to search for watch and exclude battery
&_okw= //unknown, possibly something to do with original keyword when you mis-spell a search and ebay corrects it, but there are also many other parameters used when this happens

In the evening I watched a bad (though not terrible, mainly just boring) episode of Star Trek TNG with Mauser and Bo. I also watched an episode of Magi Rangers with L and another episode of Lets Learn Japanese Basic 1 with Mauser and Bo.
