Are there any Ruby libraries out there that will search ebay?

Thanks,
Joe

Not that I've heard of... but it does sound like a cool idea.

Why don't you write one? ;)

I had something that could parse out the price history given an id
number. But I didn't have anything to actually search overall.

Ebay does offer an API for seaching and buying and whatnot, but it
costs money to do anything with it. :-(

Is screen scraping illegal nowadays?

Ebay has web services that I've written libraries for...

I could share my code, never bothered to package it and all that.

You get something like 50 free searches a day with the "personal" developers
license, for testing I guess...
