My app needs to get send HTTP requests and then process the results as XML. For example, I can use the following.

http://open.api.ebay.com/shopping?callname=FindItemsAdvanced&responseencoding=XML&appid=*myappid*&siteid=0&version=635&Categoryid=6723&IncludeSelector=Details&MaxEntries=100

What would be the working url for the GetPopularKeywords function? I can't find any examples on the dev site.

Thanks, EV

chevy19lt,

GetPopularKeywords is a Trading API call, and can't be called via a simple HTTP URL like calls within the Shopping API. For Trading API calls you need to POST your parameters to a service endpoint to get the requested XML response.

Have no fear... The Shoping API has an equivalent API call that can be called via a URL. Check out FindPopularSearches. It has the same calling format as the example you gave above.
