Inspiration
Trying to search Ebay for the right item can sometimes be a pain, because the market prices of goods vary wildly and very different goods may be returned from a similar search.
What it does
It allows for one to search Ebay as they would normally, but filter results based using an interactive histogram visualizing the prices of your results.
How we built it
The service was built using Ebay's Finding API through PHP running on Apache.
Challenges we ran into
PHP
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The result is relatively visually attractive and quickly returns and processes a large number of search results.
What we learned
Usage of the Ebay Finding API in addition to the application of a range of web technologies.
What's next for Super Hyper Advanced Search Tool VII
Multi-search functionality to allow for comparisons between the pricing and deviations in price between different goods.
