How to implement AWS signed requests with amazon java library?
Hi everybody, We're currently using amazon-a2s-2007-10-29-java-library.jar to interact with the Amazon Webservices or Product Advertising API, respectively.

What's the best resource to retrieve book cover art by ISBN?
I am working on an application for a bookstore, and I was wondering the best way to retrieve book cover art by ISBN. If any of you people know, I would really appreciate the tip. I'm using http://isbndb.com for all of the rest of the data, but it doesn't include an image location in its XML response. Would Amazon's Advertising API take ...
Do the Amazon web service APIs support barcode/UPC queries?
I skimmed through their documentation and found it a bit overwhelming at first. I know you can search for items by entering a UPC (the number below a 1D barcode), but I couldn't find a word about it in the API. What I want to do is perform a product lookup by doing a UPC search after scanning a barcode. ...
How can I obtain the top 100 sales ranked items on Amazon programatically?
I took a look through the API documentation and since the ItemSearch operation requires the Keywords parameter, I do not think it will be possible but I just want to confirm. Should I be looking at a different operation? Any information would be greatly appreciated. ...
Subscriptions with up-front fees in Amazon Payments?
I would like to use Amazon Payments to handle processing for my website. Along with a monthly fee, I also have an upfront cost I'd like to immediately charge the user. When I look at the documentation and examples, though, I don't see a way to do both. It seems painful to have a user "buy" twice - once for the upfront, and then once t...
Amazon S3 for Social Networks?
http://www.s3fm.com/ is really useful for uploading/viewing files for personal viewing. I was wondering if there was something good for social networks (using Amazon s3 or something similar), where it will only show the subset of files uploaded by a specific user (for example, limit access to the user's specific bucket). Can s3fm be a...
Browser Based Uploads to Amazon S3 ?
Amazon has instructions on how to write a form that posts directly to Amazon's S3 service via HTML POST. However, they are not very clear on how to create a simple form to upload directly to an S3 bucket, and never give an actual example html file... Is there a good example available where I can view the sample code? ...
Streaming media from EC2
We have been requested to stream a single video (+500MB) from a web site. The biggest additional requirement is that access must be forbidden to foreign IP addresses. Given that high bandwith usage is expected we have turned to Amazon S3 to serve the video as a FLV, but AFAIK Amazon won't let you set up IP filtering based on country l...
Force CloudFront distribution/file update
I'm using Amazon's CloudFront to serve static files of my web apps. Is there no way to tell a cloudfront distribution that it needs to refresh it's file or point out a single file that should be refreshed? Amazon recommend that you version your files like logo_1.gif, logo_2.gif and so on as a workaround for this problem but that seem...
C# Amazon Product Advertising API
As of August 15, Amazon made it compulsory to sign all requests made to their Product Advertising API. I thought I had got everything working just fine but when the 15th finally came around, my web application stopped working and pretty much ever since I have been trying to find out how to sign the SOAP requests. Amazon has an outdated ...

Has anyone succeeded at downloading orders from Amazon Seller Central using PHP?
It looks like this question has been asked before, here and in other places on the web, but I have yet to find any solid documentation on how it's done. We need a way to pragmatically "suck" orders out of Amazon Seller Central on a regular basis, and insert the data into a database on our server for processing. There's hints that you ca...

Good Usage Based Payment Service
Amazon Flexible Payments Service seems like the perfect service. It is exactly what we're looking for. Unfortunately, since we are not based in US (based in UK instead) it is not available to us. I was wondering if anyone knew of a similar service which we can use? We would like to sell products in both US Dollars and GB Pounds. We nee...
