I noticed that eBay makes their searchbyImage function available via API: https://developer.ebay.com/api-docs/buy/browse/resources/item_summary/methods/searchByImage

I'm wondering Nev if you've ever considered supporting such a feature? Perhaps a variant of a current sieve where you can associate an optional single saved image with each search in the sieve? The exciting thing is that you can make such a search more effective than the eBay app itself because they only allow you to search by image or by string input/query but not both. You could do both because:

POST https://api.ebay.com/buy/browse/v1/item_summary/search_by_image?
charity_ids=string&
fieldgroups=string&
category_ids=string&
filter=FilterField&
sort=SortField&
limit=string&
offset=string&
aspect_filter=AspectFilter&

Unfortunately AS doesn't use the ebay API; it scrapes the html results pages.

Nev stated many years ago that he intended to move over to using the API but has never got round to it. For whatever reason his attention seems to be elsewhere nowadays; just getting the many bugs/issues looked at (which probably mostly exist due to ebay changes) is a struggle.

AS is in danger of becoming abandonware; as such I wouldn't hold out much hope for new features.
