Introduction

This is an implementation of a client for the Amazon Product Advertising API in PHP. This API provides tools for querying the amazon product database and even manage cart via webservices.

The official documentation of this service is available on docs.aws.amazon.fr.

Requirements

In order to use this client, you will need to become a Product Advertising API Developer. You can follow the instruction provided on docs.aws.amazon.fr

After signing up, you will receive an access key and secret which will be used by this API to generate and append a signature to your query.

Optionnaly, you can even become an associate. It provides opportunities to earn money thanks to the traffic you send to amazon via the links generated in the service response.

Installation

You can use composer for installation.

Add the repository to the composer.json file of your project and run the update or install command.

{
    "require": {
        "awsome/paa": "0.1.*"
    }
}

Examples

• ItemSearch Queries : The ItemSearch operation returns items that satisfy the search criteria, including one or more search indices.
  • Searching by Keyword
  • Searching by Title
  • Searching by Manufacturer
  • Searching by Author
  • Searching by Actor
  • Searching by Theme
  • Searching by Theme in a Specific Category
• ItemLookup Queries : Given an Item identifier, the ItemLookup operation returns some or all of the item attributes, depending on the response group specified in the request
  • Lookup by UPC
  • Lookup by ISBN

Roadmap

For now, only ItemSearch queries and array hydratation for results have been implemented. I am going to add the different queries one by one and after that I will add an object hydratation mode. Do not hesitate to contribute to this project.
