tradera-get-item

Tradera Item Lookup

Fetches item details from GET https://api.tradera.com/v4/items/{itemId} and presents a formatted summary.

Credentials

This skill needs appId and appKey. They can be provided via environment variables (recommended) or as arguments.

Environment variables (recommended):

• TRADERA_APP_ID — Tradera API application ID
• TRADERA_APP_KEY — Tradera API application key

As arguments: /tradera-get-item <itemId> <appId> <appKey>

Resolving Credentials

Before making any API calls, resolve credentials in this order:

1. Check if env vars are set: [ -n "$TRADERA_APP_ID" ] && [ -n "$TRADERA_APP_KEY" ] (do NOT echo secrets)
2. If both are set, use them directly in curl headers — the user only needs to provide <itemId>
3. If not set, parse appId and appKey from the arguments
4. If still missing, tell the user to either set env vars or provide them as arguments

Workflow

1. Parse arguments from the user input into itemId, appId, and appKey.

2. Fetch the item by running:

curl -s -w "\n%{http_code}" \
  -H "X-App-Id: {appId}" \
  -H "X-App-Key: {appKey}" \
  "https://api.tradera.com/v4/items/{itemId}"

3. Check for errors:

   • If the HTTP status is not 200, report the error to the user (e.g. 404 = item not found, 401/403 = invalid credentials).

4. Parse the JSON and present a formatted summary with these sections:

Item Type Mapping

• 1 = Auction (may also have a Buy It Now price — check buyItNowPriceSpecified)
• 3 = Fixed Price (Endast Köp Nu / Buy Now Only)
• 4 = Shop Item

Omit sections where data is absent or fields are marked as unspecified (e.g. skip "Buy It Now" if buyItNowPriceSpecified is false). Keep the output concise.
