As the developer of the cloud based Brick Seller software which helps sellers
manage their Brick Link (and Brick Owl) stores, I have extensive experience using
the Brick Link API (as well as the Brick Owl API).
If you are only interested in the analysis of your own sales, you really don't
need to use the API as you can download your order data (including details) directly
from BrickLink.
If you are interested in the sales data for all sellers (only summary/aggregate
data is available across all sellers, no seller specific data), you could use
the API or use some kind of web scraping tool to get the sales data from the
Price Guide (however, the API will give you a bit more detail) You will find
several challenges with either method.
The sheer volume of part/color combinations will take hundreds of thousands of
API calls or scrapes.
Using the API, it would take 2 calls to get all the data that is on the single
Price Guide page (one for used six month sales and one for new six month sales).
With the limitation of the 5000 API calls per day, that would take months.
As far as sharing your login credentials, I think that would be a bad idea and
most likely against BrickLink security policy. Your friend should only need
a set of API keys (which you can create and deleted as needed). However, I don't
think I would have been able to develop Brick Seller without also having access
to the Brick Seller catalog data which I believe your friend can access with
only a buyer BrickLink account.
I hope this helps.

Thank you for the advice. The info I'm looking for only applies to certain
part types plates, tiles, bricks and modified versions. I'm wanting to rank
them by how often they sell in any color. I know bricklink has info on wanted
list parts but I know for me at least, I have a bunch of parts in wanted list
I have already bought or I'm not really looking to buy.

If he is helping you code, why does he need the password? Or do you mean he is
writing the code independently and not always with you?
You are responsible for anything that happens with your account. If giving the
password out, make sure it is different to any email, bank, etc passwords and
not some easy to guess function like BLfg56fds3gh5 if you use GMfg56fds3gh5 for
gmail. Employers are allowed to let employees use business accounts, so I doubt
it is against the terms.
It is not that hard to get a seller account anyway, so doing it with a separate
account might be a good idea anyway, especially if he/you amend anything with
the API and not just download.
|
Yes he lives a bit from me so he would have to work on it separately.Obviously
I'd create a different password not that I don't trust him but I don't
want someone some how getting it from him. As far as him creating a seller account,
I feel it would be difficult. Don't you need like 5 purchases and feedback?
It's been a while since I applied. And also don't you need to prove inventory?
I feel like uploading fraudulent photos would be against terms?
|
You only need 1 feedback to apply for an account.
|
Oh really? Has that changed?
|
I don't think so. It used to be you didn't need any feedback to open
a store, then a few years back they introduced that 1 feedback was necessary
as it gives the new seller a little experience as a buyer and also verifies them
/ their address. I don't think it was ever 5 feedback.
