# WWW::Search::Ebay::ByEndDate - phpMan

## NAME
    [WWW::Search::Ebay::ByEndDate] - backend for searching www.ebay.com, with
    results sorted with "items ending first"

## SYNOPSIS
      use [WWW::Search];
      my $oSearch = new [WWW::Search]('[Ebay::ByEndDate]');
      my $sQuery = [WWW::Search::escape_query]("C-10 carded Yakface");
      $oSearch->native_query($sQuery);
      while (my $oResult = $oSearch->next_result())
        { print $oResult->url, "\n"; }

## DESCRIPTION
    This class is a Ebay specialization of [WWW::Search]. It handles making
    and interpreting Ebay searches <http://www.ebay.com>.

    This class exports no public interface; all interaction should be done
    through [WWW::Search] objects.

## NOTES
    The calling program must ensure that the [Date::Manip] module is able to
    determine the local timezone. When [Date::Manip] changed from version 5 to
    version 6, the timezone handling was completely overhauled. See the
    documentation of [Date::Manip] but good luck because it is VERY confusing
    and does not contain useful examples.

    The search is done against CURRENT running auctions only.

    The query is applied to TITLES only.

    The results are ordered auctions ending soon first (order of increasing
    auction ending date).

    In the resulting [WWW::Search::Result] objects, the description field
    consists of a human-readable combination (joined with semicolon-space)
    of the Item Number; number of bids; and high bid amount (or starting bid
    amount).

    In the [WWW::Search::Result] objects, the change_date field contains the
    auction ending date & time in ISO 8601 format; i.e. YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.
