amazonproductapi's Issues

Lookup by ISBN

Would it be possible to add Lookup by ISBN?

The following request uses the ItemLookup operation to find an item by ISBN. The IdType parameter is set to ISBN, and the ItemId value is 076243631X.

In curl, the keys are given as:

&IdType=ISBN
&ItemId=076243631X

Amazon Cart

Hi Marc,

Please would you look into the possibility of managing a users cart with the API that could be used with affiliation websites etc?

Great work!

Great work Mark: I use this in my project with great joy and despite my complete newbieness!
Question: how would you modify the code to retrieve the product description from your locale (ie: FR / DE ...)
thanks
Blaise

Does this code still work?

Not sure if this code is still working after two years.

Availability status

I'm finding that some products are unavailable and my code breaks, but I'd rather not count all TotalNew + TotalUsed+ TotalCollectible + TotalRefurb each time.

Am I missing something to access the Availability status?

Thanks!

No possibility to choose ResponseGroups

Hey, I was wondering why there is no possibility to change the ResponseGroups. Those are set, no possiblity to change them for specific request.

I create a pull request within the next hour.

How to get all products list?

I want to get all my store products, how it is possible?

How to use this repo without composer

Hello
I checked, composer is no longer available on internet and its author is saying that they are closing composer. (see https://composer.io/site/)

Can you please confirm how can i use this without Composer

I have tried following:

`<?php
require('src/AmazonAPI.php');
require('src/AmazonUrlBuilder.php');

use MarcL\AmazonAPI;
use MarcL\AmazonUrlBuilder;

// Setup a new instance of the AmazonUrlBuilder with your keys
$urlBuilder = new AmazonUrlBuilder(
$keyId,
$secretKey,
$associateId,
'uk'
);

// Setup a new instance of the AmazonAPI and define the type of response
$amazonAPI = new AmazonAPI($urlBuilder, 'simple');

$items = $amazonAPI->ItemSearch('harry potter', 'Books', 'price');

print_r($items);`

And this code returns following error:

Fatal error: Class 'MarcL\Transformers\DataTransformerFactory' not found in \amazonApi\src\AmazonAPI.php on line 68

simple Output not working

Hi,

I tried the new version of AmazonProductAPI and it seems that the simple output is not working.

Here is my sample code (almost same from your Readme), with a "var_dump" appended.

require('vendor/autoload.php');

use MarcL\AmazonAPI;
use MarcL\AmazonUrlBuilder;

// Keep these safe
$keyId = 'YOUR-AWS-KEY';
$secretKey = 'YOUR-AWS-SECRET-KEY';
$associateId = 'YOUR-AMAZON-ASSOCIATE-ID';

// Setup a new instance of the AmazonUrlBuilder with your keys
$urlBuilder = new AmazonUrlBuilder(
    $keyId,
    $secretKey,
    $associateId,
    'uk'
);

// Setup a new instance of the AmazonAPI and define the type of response
$amazonAPI = new AmazonAPI($urlBuilder, 'simple');

$items = $amazonAPI->ItemSearch('harry potter', 'Books', 'price');
echo "<pre>";
var_dump($items);

The Output look like this:

object(SimpleXMLElement)#6 (2) {
  ["OperationRequest"]=>
  object(SimpleXMLElement)#5 (3) {
[..]

So, this doesnt seem to be the 'simple' output format starting with "array".
I tried different transformation types, it always generates the same output.

Do i miss something?

Thank you for your great work!

product sale price is not get from this request

Sales price is not listed in this API request,
offer price
like

the real price : 1000
sale price : 950

pagination

Hi,

Thanks for your API SDK,
but
How do i do pagination from result set ??

Retrieve product rating and review count for Amazon products

Is it possible to retrieve the numerical value of product rating and review count for Amazon products? Currently it returns only <iframe> URL for reviews.

API Access

Does AWS recently require three shipped order within 180 days before granting the API access ?
Or do you have few months for development before they require that ?

UseSSL == SetSSL

the README file describes a UseSSL method. The method appears to actually be called SetSSL.

README.md - Composer link

The link for the text "Composer" is currently composer.io.
Shouldn't it be https://getcomposer.org/

Needs more tests

Need to add some more tests for AmazonAPI

• Test data transformations work as expected
• Test double for HttpRequest
• Check expected Amazon signature for signed requests

search by subcategory or node

Can I make a search by subcategory like "Electronics/Cell Phones & Accessories" ?

Invalid ASIN Result

Thanks for this code - it works well - except If I add an invalid ASIN I get the following (PHP 5.6.30):

Fatal error: Call to undefined method MarcL\Transformers\SimpleArrayTransformer::AddError() in /xxxxxx/html/vendor/marcl/amazonproductapi/src/Transformers/SimpleArrayTransformer.php on line 24

AmazonAPI looks fine

private function AddError($error) {
	array_push($this->mErrors, $error);
}

I am using the $items = $amazonAPI->ItemLookUp($asinIds);
Also seems like the itemlookup is limit to 10 items - Amazon restriction?

reviews

issue fixed - great code thank you
