Hello, please excute me. I am very new to the Amazon Product Advertising API. I have a question. Why does the Net::Amazon (module version 0.57) generate the url with SubscriptionID and not my AWSAccessKeyID? I am not aware that I have a SubscriptionID. I am playing with the url() method and it returns something like http://www.amazon.com/Matrix-10th-Anniversary-Blu-ray/dp/B001NXBRJG%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAIZJNGBMI7Y2N6RSA%26tag%3Dws%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB001NXBRJG Why doesn't it include my AWSAccessKeyID? Please help. _________________________________________________________________ Your E-mail and More On-the-Go. Get Windows Live Hotmail Free. http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/171222985/direct/01/ |

Amazon has gone through a few different names for various "parts." Net::Amazon has tried hard to keep the same interface to the end user, and translates old names to the new/expected names. This is one such case. Regards, Christopher On Mon, Sep 14, 2009 at 10:18 PM, John Lee<gal...@ho...> wrote: > Hello, please excute me.

Does this still allow us to get paid for the referrals? I don't recall that I have any SubscriptionId associated with my AWS account. I looked everwhere in the control panel. I'm wondering how they identify me if the url doesn't have my AWSAccessKeyId. > From: bou...@gm... > Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2009 22:22:13 -0400 > Subject: Re: [Net-amazon-devel] question about subscription id > To: gal...@ho... > CC: net...@li... > > Amazon has gone through a few different names for various "parts." > Net::Amazon has tried hard to keep the same interface to the end user, > and translates old names to the new/expected names.

According to the documentation from Amazon. (See the product advertising documentation.) AWSAccessKeyId - Your Amazon-assigned Access Key ID. To register for an Access Key ID from the Amazon Web site, go to http://aws.amazon.com. Every Product Advertising API 4.0 request must contain either an Access Key ID or a Subscription ID but not both. SubscriptionId - Your Amazon-assigned subscription ID. Every Product Advertising API 4.0 request must contain either an Access Key ID or a Subscription ID but not both. Starting with version 2005-10-05, Product Advertising API stopped distributing Subscription IDs. If you already have one, it will continue to work. I do not know how referrals work, or how Amazon coordinates payments for them.

Hi,
I attempted to make a basic search functionality and using Net::Amazon. I am searching by browsenode.
I am having some issues with the search results being very inaccurate. Could you help me?
This is my code snippet:
my $search = param('search');
my $department = param('department');
my $response;
my %browsernodeids = (
books => 1000,
clothing => 1036682,
electronics => 493964,
dvd => 130,
videogames => 493964
);
if ($search)
{
if ($department eq "all")
{
$response = $ua->search(blended => $search);
}
else
{
if (exists $browsernodeids{$department})
{
$response = $ua->search(browsenode => $browsernodeids{$department},
mode => $department,
keywords => $search);
}
}
}
My first case for Books is working pretty well. I tested this with 'Harry potter'. No big issues.
My second case for Video Games, however, is not looking good. I searched for "mario" and got very few results, all which are accessories without any "mario" word in it. I also searched for "zelda" and no results found.
Is there something wrong with my code? Why isn't it working?
John

I don't think there is anything wrong with your code, as much as there
is something wrong with the browse node. The node number you used is
the one listed in the API documentation, but I think you need to pick
a more specific one.
I ran the browse script from the eg/ directory in the distribution,
and got many results for Zelda.
./browse 11846801 videogames zelda
B0009VXBAQ Wii $249.99
B001TOQ8WU Mario & Luigi Bowser's Inside Story $33.99
B002BRZ9G0 New Super Mario Bros. $46.99
B000FQ9QVI Super Mario Galaxy $46.49
B000FQ9R4E Super Smash Bros. Brawl $43.99
B000LFJNF2 Wii Charge Station $24.49
B000FQBPCQ The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess $43.99
B000FRV2UK The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass $28.49
B000W5Y49G Official Wii Zapper with Link's Crossbow Training $19.49
B00000DMB3 The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
B000084318 Legend of Zelda The Wind Waker
B000FQBPDU Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
B0009UBR3A The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
B00002STXN The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
B00004SVXW Legend of Zelda

B0009Y808Q Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time (Collector's Edition) - Nintendo 64
B00030GS80 The Legend of Zelda - The Minish Cap
Hope this helps.

It's working great. Thank you.
Do you know where I can find a comprehensive list of every browsernodes/id?
I suppose I could just look on the Amazon site and look at the url's but I remember reading somewhere that the browsenode ids change very frequently. This is a little bit of a concern for me.

You are welcome, good luck!
Unfortunately, I do not have a list. I believe even Amazon recommends
scraping them from the URLs, which is not ideal.

Hello, I've been testing Net::Amazon for some time now and I would like to report some possible bugs. (I am not 100% sure if they are bugs. It might be intended.) Firstly, some of the products returned by a search by Net::Amazon returns the wrong price. There's a lot of questions regarding price mismatch in the Amazon Developer Forums and it seems to be that if Amazon is not directly selling the item, you should use the MerchantId parameter and set it to FeaturedBuyBoxMerchant. One example where this price mismatch occurs is this product. http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-L9040-Elmos-Restaurant/dp/B0015KTLZY%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAIZJNGBMI7Y2N6RSA%26tag%3Dws%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB0015KTLZY Another possible bug is some products not returning image where it is available on Amazon.com's page. I am told that I should look in the ImageSets node if image is not found in the usual image node. Another possible bug is the way the test cases search by keyword. I have noticed that explicitly enclosing quotes around the keyword yields more accurate search results. (For example, "X-men" yields better results than X-men for DVD browsenode) I am wondering if some of these things will be fixed in the future releases of Net::Amazon. I would love to see some new features added as well, such as search bins with price ranges. Are there plans for these changes? Some of these things I am likely to change/add to Net::Amazon as I need for my website. John _________________________________________________________________ Your E-mail and More On-the-Go.
