Node.js client for Amazon Product Advertising API
Install using npm:
npm install amazon-product-api
Install in Meteor:
meteor add quackware:amazon-product-api
Require library
amazon = require('amazon-product-api');
Create client
var client = amazon.createClient({
awsId: "aws ID",
awsSecret: "aws Secret",
awsTag: "aws Tag"
});
Now you can search for items on amazon:
using promises:
client.itemSearch({
director: 'Quentin Tarantino',
actor: 'Samuel L. Jackson',
searchIndex: 'DVD',
audienceRating: 'R',
responseGroup: 'ItemAttributes,Offers,Images'
}).then(function(results){
console.log(results);
}).catch(function(err){
console.log(err);
});
using a callback:
client.itemSearch({
director: 'Quentin Tarantino',
actor: 'Samuel L. Jackson',
searchIndex: 'DVD',
audienceRating: 'R',
responseGroup: 'ItemAttributes,Offers,Images'
}, function(err, results, response) {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
} else {
console.log(results); // products
console.log(response); // response (containing TotalPages, TotalResults, MoreSearchResultsUrl and so on)
}
});
using ecmascript6 generators and co:
var co = require('co');
co(function *(){
pulpFiction = client.itemSearch({ keywords: 'Pulp fiction', searchIndex: 'DVD'});
killBill = client.itemSearch({ keywords: 'Kill Bill', searchIndex: 'DVD'});
reservoirDogs = client.itemSearch({ keywords: 'Reservoir Dogs', searchIndex: 'DVD'});
movies = yield [pulpFiction, killBill, reservoirDogs];
console.log(movies);
})();
