Help Needed- Amazon Product scraping

by nvs74191

I have script that dynamically creates web pages for a keyword input by user, and aggregates content on the page from different sources based on the keyword. With this, once you upload the script to the server, you don't need to create any pages, and based on keywords you upload, the script dynamically creates a page to display.

Originally, the script package included amazon and clickbank modules. These modules stopped working due to changes at these sites, and the creator of the script has not updated these modules.

Can someone help me on this? Essentially, I need a scraper from Amazon (based on keywords I input) and display products related to the keyword on amazon on my page. Likewise for clickbank products. I checked to see if the modules from programs like RSSGM etc could be used, but could not make it work.

Thanks for any help you may offer.

    Google "Amazon Product Advertising API".

    August 2009 introduced changes to queries for getting Amazon product details - there's example code out there that'll help you get your script working again.

    Ahh, I am not a coder. I wouldn't know what to do with the sample code if I found one., i

    With the script I have, I just include a file in my includes folder and call that by a token in my template.

    I think I know the script you are referring to. You could purchase the paid version of the script or switch to another product. That would be the easiest.

    I switched to a different product when I found out the creator of the script had his own code inserted automatically if you did not enter yours. This to me is taking advantage of peoples lack of knowledge.

    I have the paid version of the script - In fact, I paid $500 to get the script in its early days of launch.

    The script is Niche Creator. The developer of the script had a good support forum and most issues used to be solved quickly. He was ethical and every code you insert was yours, and you modify the config.php file locally.

    This was a portal creator on the lines of RSSGM etc, but lots easier to customize and use. I made good adsense money (during the good old arbitrage days, by sending adwords traffic to adsense pages) and amazon checks out of this script, and am looking to revive this to build my site with.
