Is it possible to access the Amazon Product Advertising API using javascript?

I'm talking about direct calls from the user's browser, not
node.js.

My research tells me no but I thought I'd bounce it around
in here.

    No bro its not possible directly instead you have to use some frameworks . In actual we are getting response in json , so better stick with php.

      I don't think there are any client side javascript scripts available to access Amazon - Well at least not one which is using best practices or supported by Amazon.

      for one you would need to embed your API secret key in the script (or at least accessible via a web request) . Because of this it is a major security risk - This is probably why there are no clientside javascript examples for accessing Amazon Advertising API!!

      Best practice says you need to use node.js to keep your secret key etc. on YOUR server which the client cannot access directly.
