Getting product details using Amazon API

Question

Hi, I've got the following code to output a list of items from amazon, but I not sure how to access specific products (with Summery, reviews, etc). Any help would be appreciated.

<?php



    function makeAWSUrl($parameters, $associate_tag, $access_key, $secret_key, $aws_version = '2009-06-01') {



     $host = 'ecs.amazonaws.com';

     $path = '/onca/xml';



     $query = array(        

     'Service' => 'AWSECommerceService',

     'AWSAccessKeyId' => $access_key,

     'AssociateTag' => $associate_tag,

     'Timestamp' => gmdate('Y-m-d\TH:i:s\Z'),

     'Version' => $aws_version,

     );



     // Merge in any options that were passed in

     if (is_array($parameters)) {

      $query = array_merge($query, $parameters);

     }



     // Do a case-insensitive, natural order sort on the array keys.

     ksort($query);



     // create the signable string

     $temp = array();



     foreach ($query as $k => $v) {

      $temp[] = str_replace('%7E', '~', rawurlencode($k)) . '=' . str_replace('%7E', '~', rawurlencode($v));

     }



     $signable = implode('&', $temp);



     $stringToSign = "GET\n$host\n$path\n$signable";



     // Hash the AWS secret key and generate a signature for the request.



     $hex_str = hash_hmac('sha256', $stringToSign, $secret_key);



     $raw = '';



     for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($hex_str); $i += 2) {

      $raw .= chr(hexdec(substr($hex_str, $i, 2)));

     }



     $query['Signature'] = base64_encode($raw);

     ksort($query);



     $temp = array();



     foreach ($query as $k => $v) {

      $temp[] = rawurlencode($k) . '=' . rawurlencode($v);

     }



     $final = implode('&', $temp);



     return 'http://' . $host . $path . '?' . $final;

    }



    $url = makeAWSUrl(array('Keywords' => 'ipod',                           

    'Operation' => 'ItemSearch',                          

    'SearchIndex' => 'Electronics'),  

    'ResponseGroup' => 'Medium',                           

    'someid', 'aaaaaaaaaaaaa', 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa');





    $response = simplexml_load_file($url);



    foreach ($response->Items->Item as $item)

    {

     $Title [] = $item->ItemAttributes->Title;

    }





    foreach($Title as $CurrentTitle)

    {

     echo "<h2>".$CurrentTitle."</h2>";

    }







?>

Answer 1

The $response->Items->Item list contains all the items/articles which matches your query. This is a list of objects. Each of this objects got properties like ItemAtributes which agains can have properties.

Have a look at the documentation to see which attributes are avalable. For example ItemAttributes->ListPrice->Amount contains the price of the item.

So for example to output price and title for each result change the code to

$response = simplexml_load_file($url);
foreach ($response->Items->Item as $item) {
    echo "<h2>".$item->ItemAttributes->Title."</h2>";
    echo "Price: ".$item->ItemAttributes->ListPrice->Amount;
}
