Reviews API broken? about amazon_scraper

[hahnicity]

What are you doing? Are you running the unit tests or are you trying to do something else

[adamlwgriffiths]

Also, provide the version you are using.

Thanks for the prompt response! I wasn't sure this was the best way to report the issue? Anyway, I downloaded the master zip file (https://github.com/adamlwgriffiths/amazon_scraper/archive/master.zip) and installed using the setup.py. BTW, there is an error on line 4 (del os.link) of the setup.py on my windows 7 laptop (work issued :( ).

I am not running the unit tests but suspect they wouldn't work. Here is the code I am running:

from amazon_scraper import AmazonScraper
amzn = AmazonScraper("put your access key", "secret key", "and associate tag here")

p = amzn.lookup(ItemId='B00BGO0Q9O')
print(p.title)
print(p.ratings)

rs = amzn.reviews(URL=p.reviews_url)
for r in rs:
print(r.title)

Sorry, I didn't realise you mentioned 'master' in your response (I was waiting to hear what version you were using, my bad).
Strange errors.
Are you using Python 3?

[adamlwgriffiths]

The error at the end should be fixed by #15.
Not sure on the method printing.

Ok, I've needed to use the library again and I'm finding that its in a totally broken state.
Iterating a review page returns ids (this has been there for a long time to avoid downloading reviews)
Subreviews aren't parsing on a number of pages.
Iteration is broken in some methods.
Ratings for SubReviews is broken (attempt to cast '5.0 out of 5 stars' to an int).
No conversion method from SubReview to full Review.

I'm looking into this, hold tight.

Bugs should be fixed in 6df73f6
Python 3 is still unresolved.
The only issues I can see are the changes Amazon have made to ratings (#17).

[adamlwgriffiths]

Python 3 should be supported as of 0.3.1
See this 265bfac for changes
