    Hi,

    Im still pretty new at this and can't seem to find any information on here or googling, basically i was looking to know where I can retrieve the information as stated in the title above for a certain product i.e. in this example 'Gears of War 2', is this the correct API call to retrieve as much product information as possible?:

    http://ecs.amazonaws.com/onca/xml?Service=AWSECommerceService&AWSAccessKeyId=[YourAccessKeyId]&Operation=ItemLookup&ResponseGroup=Large&IdType=ASIN&ItemId=B000ZK9QD2
    Code (markup):
    I'm still fairly new to this and still learning and any help is greatly appreciated!

    Thanks in advance

    I'm not sure either - I daresay I will come up against this question fairly soon. I would try to find a ResponseGroup setting which might return some of those. I am not even sure if the ones you mention are available through the API, but if you look here, you can try some of them out, i.e. set ResponseGroup to some of those. ResponseGroup=Similarities does give you similar items, for example. But only that! Bit of a hassle to do multiple calls...

    Cheers for the reply mate!

    I have already implemented the similarities feature, starting to get my head around everything and get the knack of it! :D

    While Googling I came across a page on the AWS forum where they mentioned that it was not possible to implement it, but Amazon will offer them when the customer is checking out :D!
