# Seller Profile Parameters

<font color="#52c41a">`GET`</font>  `/request`

The Seller Profile Parameters are applicable when making a request with  `type=seller_profile`  to retrieve seller profile information for a given seller on a given Ebay domain - the Ebay domain is specified using the  `ebay_domain`  parameter and the seller name is specified in the  `seller_name`  parameter. The parameters should be appended as querystring parameters to the Ebay Product Data API `GET` HTTP request.

Seller Profile results are retrieved from the [seller profile results page](https://www.ebay.com/usr/lytecordz) on Ebay.

HTTP

```HTTP
https://api.countdownapi.com/request?api_key=demo&type=seller_profile&ebay_domain=ebay.com&seller_name=lytecordz
```

```curl
curl -L --get https://api.countdownapi.com/request \
-d api_key="demo" \
-d type="seller_profile" \
-d ebay_domain="ebay.com" \
-d seller_name="lytecordz"
```

```nodejs
const axios = require('axios');

// set up the request parameters
const params = {
  api_key: "demo",
  type: "seller_profile",
  ebay_domain: "ebay.com",
  seller_name: "lytecordz"
}

// make the http GET request to Countdown API
axios.get('https://api.countdownapi.com/request', { params })
  .then(response => {

    // print the JSON response from Countdown API
    console.log(JSON.stringify(response.data, 0, 2));

  }).catch(error => {
    // catch and print the error
    console.log(error);
  })
```

```python
import requests
import json

# set up the request parameters
params = {
  'api_key': 'demo',
  'type': 'seller_profile',
  'ebay_domain': 'ebay.com',
  'seller_name': 'lytecordz'
}

# make the http GET request to Countdown API
api_result = requests.get('https://api.countdownapi.com/request', params)

# print the JSON response from Countdown API
print(json.dumps(api_result.json()))
```

```php
<?php
      
# set up the request parameters
$queryString = http_build_query([
  'api_key' => 'demo',
  'type' => 'seller_profile',
  'ebay_domain' => 'ebay.com',
  'seller_name' => 'lytecordz'
]);

# make the http GET request to Countdown API
$ch = curl_init(sprintf('%s?%s', 'https://api.countdownapi.com/request', $queryString));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 180);

$api_result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

# print the JSON response from Countdown API
