Abstract

Systems and methods to facilitate programmatic access to a network-based commerce facility via a network are described. A request is received from a third-party application via a programmatic access application, the request identifying a call function that performs, at least in part, an indirect transaction between a network-based commerce facility and a user via a third-party application. Each call function specifies an allowable amount of information to be transferred from the network-based commerce facility. An action corresponding to the call function is performed in response to the request.
