How do I get the brand name from the eBay Trading API?

Question

I am using Trading API (eBay Python SDK) to extract the product name, pictures and also its price. However I have some difficulties in extracting the brand name and the description (condition, material, authenticity, etc).

Is there a way to extract the brand name and the description?

Using GetItem and GetSellerList API you can get all listing details.

1.GetItem

http://developer.ebay.com/devzone/xml/docs/Reference/eBay/GetItem.html#GetItem

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<GetItemRequest xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents">
  <RequesterCredentials>
    <eBayAuthToken>ABC...123</eBayAuthToken>
  </RequesterCredentials>
  <ItemID>110043671232</ItemID>
</GetItemRequest>

In GetItem API you need to just pass eBay Item id , API will return all product details.

2.GetSellerList

http://developer.ebay.com/devzone/xml/docs/Reference/eBay/GetSellerList.html#GetSellerList

Using GetSellerList API we can get information product name and other details.

You must pass date range start date-end date and difference must not be greater then 90 days.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<GetSellerListRequest xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents">
<RequesterCredentials>
    <eBayAuthToken>ABC...123</eBayAuthToken>
</RequesterCredentials>
<ErrorLanguage>en_US</ErrorLanguage>

<StartTimeTo>2016-02-26T21:59:59.005Z</StartTimeTo> 
<IncludeWatchCount>true</IncludeWatchCount>

    <EntriesPerPage>2</EntriesPerPage> 
</Pagination>
