I actually originally intended this for the buyer! I wanted an iphone for myself, so I scraped the 'completed listings' page on ebay, and converted it to csv to build a histogram in excel.
The data is up to the minute. But I cache the queries in order the save computational resources. Each cache expires within 15 minutes.
Initially the data was scraped, but then I moved to the API which improved performance by 200 - 300%.
