Is it possible to scrape or fetch objects within a category or search term? Can you fetch the review value? (stars) Can you fetch reviews? Can unique affiliate links be created in the process? I am building a niched product review site. My idea is to "scrape" use products from amazon as a base for the reviews, ofcourse with amazon "buy" buttons with my affiliate code on all objects. I am a good php programmer, but i find the web services documentation somewhat fuzzy. Thanks in advance! /tailie
Yes - but instead of a category, you have a browsenode. This is a number representing either a category, best sellers list etc. Not anymore unfortunately. You can now only fetch an iframe URL. You can put all the information on your site or application, but only within the iFrame. You could parse the html in the iFrame but this is against the Amazon TOS and would get you kicked of the associates program. Yes but in an iFrame only, as above. I am not too sure what you mean.. amazon returns to you a link to the product info page with your affiliate id. Or you can build your own using the ASIN and your amazon tag. Be careful about scraping and doing things against the Amazon TOS - they will ban you and undo all your hard work. I totally agree! You will also find the support and communication to amazon affiliates very frustrating.
Thank you for your ansver freshdevelopment! bummer to hear about the iFrame sollution. I think my idea is still doable, if I manage to untangle the API doc Do you know of any sites with the iFrame in action? I looked at your Fresh Store Builder Demo, but on that site you pull products w/information without the use of iFrames? How do you do that? Thanks again for your help!
Hey - sorry for the late reply. You can get the product information without using iFrames - it is just the reviews themselves. This is the review page using an iFrame: http://demo.freshstorebuilder.com/p...37-lbs-economy-plus-pack-176-diapers/reviews/
