We migrated our entire site to their new API and added a few features for you along the way. It was a huge effort!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Exciting benefits of the update:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>We&#8217;ve added an <strong>Exact Match Keywords<\/strong> option for searching.  Now you can require that your keywords be found in the item titles, or they will be excluded from your search results.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Looking for items that have successful over the long term?  The <strong>Listed Long Ago<\/strong> filter now gives you more flexibility, with options for items that are &#8220;12 hours and older&#8221; to &#8220;5 years and older.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Want to see only new items?  The <strong>Newly Listed Within<\/strong> filter now ranges from &#8220;listed within the last hour&#8221; to &#8220;listed within the last 10 years&#8221; to give you much more control.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can use both <strong>Listed Long Ago<\/strong> &amp; <strong>Newly Listed Within<\/strong> in the same search, i.e. Newly Listed Within = &#8220;2 years&#8221; and Listed Long Ago = &#8220;1 year and older&#8221; will return items listed between 1 and 2 years ago.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Low-feedback sellers<\/strong> and <strong>items with keyword spam in aspect filters<\/strong> are automatically excluded from search results by eBay for Most Watched and Best Match sorts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>WatchCount will keep working!<\/strong>  The old API is being discontinued at the end of June, so staying on it was not an option.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please email us at <a href=\"mailto:feedback@watchcount.com\">feedback@watchcount.com<\/a> to let us know how it&#8217;s working for you and if you find any bugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exact Match Keywords &#038; Better Date Filtering included in today&#8217;s WatchCount&#8217;s update!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":65,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-383","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.watchcount.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/383","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.watchcount.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.watchcount.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.watchcount.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.watchcount.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=383"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.watchcount.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/383\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":460,"href":"https:\/\/www.watchcount.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/383\/revisions\/460"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.watchcount.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.watchcount.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=383"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.watchcount.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=383"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.watchcount.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=383"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
