API Feeds - What Sites have them?

I am brainstorming my next ecommerce/product site. So my question is which websites have API feeds that I could take and make an ecommerce site out of.

For instance if I wanted to take a bunch of items (bicycles for example) being sold on craigslist and make a targeted site...do they have an API that lets me do that.

For instance I could take an MLS Feed (real estate) and make a site. But I want to make an ecommerce site.

I know we could accomplish this with a scrapper but that is against T.O.S.

So who has feeds?
Autotrader
Yelp
Amazon
Ebay

any of these?

    Not trying to be a smart-ass, but you're really better off going directly to the websites you're curious about. There are tons and tons and tons of APIs out there. Moreover, even sites without APIs often offer data feeds for affiliates. Personally I find these data feeds much more of a pain to work with -- but they probably have the types of data your looking for.

    As for the sites you mentioned:
    Autotrader? Not sure
    Yelp? Yes. (https://www.yelp.com/developers/docu...on/v2/overview)
    Amazon? Yes. (https://affiliate-program.amazon.com...tail/main.html)
    Ebay? Yes. (https://go.developer.ebay.com/what-ebay-api)

    There are also third party APIs that aggregate data from multiple sites -- most of these are paid.

    Regardless, whether any or all of these will work for you depends on your application, so do some searches, read some documentation and see if there's anything there that'll help you get your business going.

    Best of luck!
