Hi, I am wondering if this kind of script is possible to make: It would check your Amazon associate account and keep track of the # of sales and revenue earned and then place it on a web site in this format: X items sold so far $X earned so far So for example if I had sold 5 items and earned $7.50 in referral fees, the website would display: 5 items sold so far $7.50 earned so far The script would check the Amazon account regularly for updates. If this kind of thing is possible, would it present any kind of security issues, like revealing your Amazon password? Thanks a bunch for your help. - Chris
It shouldn't present any security issues with regards to someone visiting your site but if someone has access to your server then you could have problems. You'll need to login, fetch the page and then parse it to get the values. It is certainly possible but may take a little work to handle the authentication. I suggest you take a look at curl
