Overstock.com Auctions announced the release of an XML feed for the Affiliate Program…

they provide product and auction data via web-services – XML-RPC – for their affiliates… I am signed up in the beta-program and received a nice PDF document with the protocol specifications…

with a simple HTTP query for superman comics you receive all current auction data with several category data…

This is the answer to Ebay's XML API , altough ebay's API is much more advanced and supports transactions (bidding) via XML what overstock does not… but hey – it's a start….
