I wanted to make a mobile app with procedurally generated affiliate links relating to user content (basically, my own, custom advertising). Unfortunately, the Amazon Mobile SDK is not easy to work with. So I made my own.
Note that this is not a secure implementation. If you would like to learn why, go here. I intend this to be a fun project people can use to learn about Amazon and make small personal projects, but if you need a secure solution that won't break when it hits some wierd product description full of emojis and {}s or something, this isn't it.

Make an AmazonQuery like this:
#import "AmazonQuery.h"
AmazonQuery* query = [[AmazonQuery alloc] init];
NSArray* queries = [query searchResultArray:@"your_amazon_affiliate_id" query:@"whatever it is you want to buy"];then iterate over your queries like this:
for (AmazonQuery* query in queries) {
NSLog(@"PRODUCT NAME: %@ \n PRODUCT URL: %@ \n PRODUCT IMAGE: %@ \n", query.productName, query.productUrl.absoluteString, query.productImageUrl.absoluteString);
}Feel free to fork, use, etc. Accreditation would be appreciated.
Note that if you pass NULL for the affiliateId then it will return normal rather than affiliate Amazon links. Also, I am not responsible for your following of the Amazon Affiliate Program rules. Don't be a jerk. Be nice to Amazon. They're nice, too.
