Using the Amazon API it seems that it's not possible anymore to get the review rank information of a product. Checking this link the note says: As of November 8, 2010, only the iframe URL is returned in the request content. However, testing with the params they suggest to get the Iframe, but it seems that now even the Iframe doesn't work anymore. Thus, even in the latest API Reference in the chapter "Motivating Customers to Buy" the part "reviews" is completely missing. However: Since I'm also very interested if it's still possible somehow to get the review rank information - maybe even not

Does anybody have a good Ruby script for finding books (or other products) on Amazon using their API? I've been using Amazon/ECS with great success. One important point is that it's not GPLed (whereas Ruby/AWS seems to be), so if it's important in your case, take care. Here is a sample: require 'amazon/ecs' # default options; will be camelized and converted # to REST request parameters. Amazon::Ecs.options = {:aWS_access_key_id => [your access key]} res = Amazon::Ecs.item_search('ruby') You may also want to have a look at some example of integration with the Mephisto blogging system. cheers!

I have been playing with Amazon's Product Advertising API, and I cannot get a request to go through and give me data. I have been working off of this: http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSECommerceService/2011-08-01/GSG/ and this: Amazon Product Advertising API signed request with Java Here is my code.. I generated the SOAP bindings using this: http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSECommerceService/2011-08-01/GSG/YourDevelopmentEnvironment.html#Java On the Classpath, I only have: commons-codec.1.5.jar import com.ECS.client.jax.AWSECommerceService; import com.ECS.client.jax

When using Amazon's web service to get any product's information, is there a direct way to get the Average Customer Rating (1-5 stars)? Here are the parameters I'm using: Service=AWSECommerceService Version=2011-08-01 Operation=ItemSearch SearchIndex=Books Title=A Game of Thrones ResponseGroup=Large I would expect it to have a customer rating of 4.5 and total reviews of 2177. But instead I get the following in the response. <CustomerReviews><IFrameURL>http://www.amazon.com/reviews/iframe?...</IFrameURL></CustomerReviews> Is there a way to get the overall customer rating, besides for reading

As of August 15, Amazon made it compulsory to sign all requests made to their Product Advertising API. I thought I had got everything working just fine but when the 15th finally came around, my web application stopped working and pretty much ever since I have been trying to find out how to sign the SOAP requests. Amazon has an outdated sample code for signing requests that doesn't appear to work here Basically, I need to know how to add a signature to the my requests using the most current C# SOAP API and .NET 3.5. I hope I have given enough details, if I haven't please feel free to ask me to

I am querying Amazon's Product Advertising API for Instant Video (streaming) results. Everything is working fine -- except that there is some missing information: Descriptions are not included in results. For example, on Amazon's website the movie "Food, Inc" (http://www.amazon.com/Food-Inc/dp/B002VRZEYM) has the description "An unflattering look inside America's corporate controlled food industry.". When queried via the API , however, no description is returned at all. Titles of TV shows are not included in results. For example, if you search for the 2nd episode of season 1 of Arrested
