Amazon Product Search - What is the service URI?

Question

Hi

I am using the Amazon Product Search WSDL in an objective-c project. Since Objective-c does not have any direct support for SOAP, I cannot just use the wsdl and leave all the other processing for my app.

I want to know what the service uri for the amazon product search is. This is the WSDL I am using

http://soap.amazon.com/schemas2/AmazonWebServices.wsdl

Thanks a lot for any help.

Answer 1

The word 'service' is only in the xml 3 times, so I'm assuming that what you're looking for is:

<service name="AmazonSearchService"> 
    <!-- Endpoint for Amazon Web APIs --> 
    <port name="AmazonSearchPort" binding="typens:AmazonSearchBinding"> 
        <soap:address location="http://soap.amazon.com/onca/soap2"/&gt; 
    </port> 
</service>

Edit: Visiting that url in a browser shows a page with this message:

Amazon Ecommerce Web Service 3.0 has been deprecated after many years of useful service on March 31st 2008. Please upgrade to the Amazon Associates Web Service 4.0 as detailed in the migration guide. Please visit Amazon Associates Web Service Developer Forum for more information. If you came to this page from an RSS feed, visit Amazon's Product RSS Feeds page for an upgrade.

The migration guide has many WSDL locations, depending on which national site you want; the US site's wsdl is at http://webservices.amazon.com/AWSECommerceService/AWSECommerceService.wsdl and the schema is at http://webservices.amazon.com/AWSECommerceService/AWSECommerceService.xsd

Head out to https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/advertising/api/detail/main.html and you will be able to access the full documentation. The SOAP endpoints are listed here: http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSECommerceService/2009-10-01/DG/index.html?SOAPEndpoints.html
