=head1 NAME

WWW::Search::Ebay - backend for searching www.ebay.com

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use WWW::Search;
  my $oSearch = new WWW::Search('Ebay');
  my $sQuery = WWW::Search::escape_query("C-10 carded Yakface");
  $oSearch->native_query($sQuery);
  while (my $oResult = $oSearch->next_result())
    { print $oResult->url, "\n"; }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This class is a Ebay specialization of L.
It handles making and interpreting Ebay searches
F.

This class exports no public interface; all interaction should
be done through L objects.

=head1 NOTES

The search is done against CURRENT running AUCTIONS only.
(NOT completed auctions, NOT eBay Stores items, NOT Buy-It-Now only items.)
(If you want to search completed auctions, use the L module.)
(If you want to search eBay Stores, use the L module.)

The query is applied to TITLES only.

This module can return only the first 200 results matching your query.

In the resulting L objects, the description()
field consists of a human-readable combination (joined with
semicolon-space) of the Item Number; number of bids; and high bid
amount (or starting bid amount).

In the resulting L objects, the end_date() field
contains a human-readable DTG of when the auction is scheduled to end
(in the form "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM TZ").  If environment variable TZ is
set, the time will be converted to that timezone; otherwise the time
will be left in ebay.com's default timezone (US/Pacific).

In the resulting L objects, the bid_count() field
contains the number of bids as an integer.

In the resulting L objects, the bid_amount()
field is a string containing the high bid or starting bid as a
human-readable monetary value in seller-native units, e.g. "$14.95" or
"GBP 6.00".

In the resulting L objects, the sold() field will
be non-zero if the item has already sold.  (Only if you're using
WWW::Search::Ebay::Completed)

After a successful search, your search object will contain an element
named 'categories' which will be a reference to an array of hashes
containing names and IDs of categories and nested subcategories, and
the count of items matching your query in each category and
subcategory.  (Special thanks to Nick Lokkju for this code!)  For
example:

  $oSearch->{categories} = [
          {
            'ID' => '1',
            'Count' => 19,
            'Name' => 'Collectibles',
            'Subcategory' => [
                               {
                                 'ID' => '13877',
                                 'Count' => 11,
                                 'Name' => 'Historical Memorabilia'
                               },
                               {
                                 'ID' => '11450',
                                 'Count' => 1,
                                 'Name' => 'Clothing, Shoes & Accessories'
                               },
                             ]
          },
          {
            'ID' => '281',
            'Count' => 1,
            'Name' => 'Jewelry & Watches',
          }
        ];

If your query string happens to be an eBay item number,
(i.e. if ebay.com redirects the query to an auction page),
you will get back one WWW::Search::Result without bid or price information.

=item _process_date_abbrevs

Given a date string,
converts common abbreviations to their full words
(so that the string can be unambiguously parsed by Date::Manip).
For example,
in the default English, 'd' becomes 'days'.

=cut

sub _process_date_abbrevs
  {
  my $self = shift;
  my $s = shift;
  $s =~ s!d! days!;
  $s =~ s!h! hours!;
  $s =~ s!m! minutes!;
  return $s;
  } # _process_date_abbrevs


=item _next_text

The text of the "Next" button, localized for a specific type of eBay backend.

=cut

sub _next_text
  {
  return 'Next';
  } # _next_text


=item whitespace_pattern

Return a qr// pattern to match whitespace your webpage's language.

=cut

sub whitespace_pattern
  {
  # A pattern to match HTML whitespace:
  return qr{[\ \t\r\n\240]};
  } # whitespace_pattern

=item _currency_pattern

Return a qr// pattern to match mentions of money in your webpage's language.
Include the digits in the pattern.

=cut

sub _currency_pattern
  {
  my $self = shift;
  # A pattern to match all possible currencies found in USA eBay
  # listings:
  my $W = $self->whitespace_pattern;
  return qr/(?:\$|C|EUR|GBP)$W*[0-9.,]+/;
  } # _currency_pattern


=item _title_pattern

Return a qr// pattern to match the webpage title in your webpage's language.
Add grouping parenthesis so that
$1 becomes the auction title,
$2 becomes the eBay item number, and
$3 becomes the end date.

=cut

sub _title_pattern
  {
  return qr{\A(.+?)\s+-\s+EBAY\s+\(ITEM\s+(\d+)\s+END\s+TIME\s+([^)]+)\)\Z}i; #
  } # _title_pattern


=item _result_count_pattern

Return a qr// pattern to match the result count in your webpage's language.
Include parentheses so that $1 becomes the number (with commas is OK).

=cut

sub _result_count_pattern
  {
  return qr'([0-9,]+)\s+(active\s+)?(listing|item|matche?|result)s?(\s+found)?';
  } # _result_count_pattern
