Associate Tag in the GoldBox RSS feed?

Discussion in 'Amazon' started by Nite, Apr 27, 2008.

    I'm stuck here, and I need some RSS help on Amazon.

    (Note: I did hXXp instead of hTTp.)

    Okay, so here's the webpage that I'm looking at on Amazon.com.
    hxxp://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox/best-deals

    The RSS Feed for that page is here.
    hxxp://rssfeeds.s3.amazonaws.com/goldbox

    Attempting to embed my associate ID into that RSS feed always fails. That is, the default associate ID (rssfeeds-20) replaces mine no matter what I do, no matter how I play around with the URL.

    hxxp://rssfeeds.s3.amazonaws.com/goldbox?tag=myassociateid-20
    always becomes
    hxxp://rssfeeds.s3.amazonaws.com/goldbox?tag=rssfeed-20 ... the tag value always changes back to its original value.

    I know there's a "Deals Widget" but I don't want to embed that; I want the RSS feed with my associate ID.

    Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Does anyone have any experiencing playing with the goldbox rss feed?

    Okay, I figured it out.

    Tee Hee.

    Just create a Yahoo Pipe for it, and change out the old affiliate ID with yours.

    Is there a way to limit the feed results to certain categories?

    We've created an Amazon Gold Box PHP Script for this and added some extra
    features to Search by Keyword, Limit results and best of all you can change your Amazon Associate ID and make Money showing the latest Amazon Deals of the Day.
