PROGRAMMING

Anyone using Amazon's Product Advertising API for Germany? I was testing on http://webservices.amazon.de/scratchpad/index.html

the ItemLookup by EAN (IdType = EAN), I tried many EAN values, and always got an error like this:

"Error! AWS.InvalidParameterValue
HTTP Status 200: Success
07613272175456 is not a valid value for ItemId. Please change this value and retry your request."

Is this an API bug?

I contacted Amazon, but they answer with useless general copy/paste template answers.

I found the problem. EANs should be 13 digits long, not 14. Removing the leading "0" solves the issue.

Yes dealing with APis you have to be very specific (well with all aspects of programming)
