NodeJS Amazon Affiliate API Client

"amazon-affiliate-api" is just a thin wrapper around Amazon's API.

The intent is to simplify the request process by automatically handling request signatures, performing the HTTP requests, processing the responses and parsing the XML.

The result is that you feel like you're working directly with the API, but you don't have to worry about some of the more tedious tasks.

This library impliments Q promises, and supports callbacks.

Installation

npm install amazon-affiliate-api

Usage

Require library

amazon = require('amazon-affiliate-api');
