How do I get started setting up a site that's integrated with the amazon API? For example, when people search the site, it will also return relevant results through amazon.
You could use a widget, but they don't convert well. You can do a quick API integration to pull back products based on the search term.
Before you do a full Amazon API integration, consider using our Amazon mashup technology (it's free) to combine YouTube (and other video widgets) with related Amazon products. You can embed these mashups on your site or link to them on our site. Here is a sample of an Amazon Youtube mashup on a blog www savefans com/blog/2010/04/2010-nfl-draft-results-1st-round-picks-order-and-trades/ (sorry I can't put in live links yet) Here is another sample of the mashup on our site www ucubd com/mashups/Landon-Donovan---This-is-SportsCenter-2578.html These take seconds to create, all you need is a YouTube embed code. You can also provide the search term to control the rendered products. Main site - www ucubd com Let me know what you think.
