Hello, I have got my whole application based on Ebay API using Trading XML API and Shopping SOAP API. I could not find any information about response compression. Can someone help me with this. I think I am not searching good enough to find it.
Help is truly appreciated.

Do you mean compression like gzip or deflate is sometimes used for web server->browser data? I haven't come across any mention of data compression and API responses. I'd imagine it's not compressed, without any option to make it so.

Thanks for the reply. I was looking to submit my app for certification and found that one of the requisites to do so is to compress the calls. I do not understand how to.
Can someone enlighten me with it.

Hi kmaracing,
We actually do have some compression functionality detailed here: https://ebay.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/ebay.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=54. We don't recommend it in most cases, but for certain API calls that return huge amounts of data, we suggest people follow the instructions in the Knowledge Base article linked above. For many developers, this isn't actually needed.
Best Regards,
