Tool for Amazon AWS Requests?

by Xebec
2 replies
I've looked at various Amazon STORE tools (such as AssocioMatic), but I'm really looking for something that I can simply insert into various places on my existing pages -- not a complete store or site.

I want to insert based on specific keywords.

The FEEDS that Amazon provides is not sufficient, since you can only search on TAGS.

I want to pass something like this to Amazon...
http://ecs.amazonaws.com/onca/xml?
Service=AWSECommerceService&
AWSAccessKeyId=[AWS Access Key ID]&
Operation=ItemSearch&
Keywords=Rocket&
SearchIndex=Toys


and get the XML list of toys with the keyword of rocket.

Then, I want control over which elements display and how they look (spacing, alignment, etc)


are there any existing tools out there for that?

Or is it, possibly, a fairly simple thing to do with PHP and XLST?

    There is a plugin for WP called ReviewAZON that searches Amazon by category and keyword and pulls selections or individual items into wordpress blog posts - it includes customizable templates.. it can also work with Ebay Listings and Overstock listing.. and from memory is about $70 and easier to work with than associomatic..

    Hi,

    I want to insert based on specific keywords.
    I am using a script called "Carp Evolution "that converts amazon XML datafeed into HTML format and display on any webpage. It asks for keyword and the category you want to look into. It's a little complicated to use and will require you to have some technical knowlwdge. I had to buy a complete video course to start using it.

    You can find another application at associatefeedgenerator.com that does almost the same thing.

    Hope this helps....
