Sorry but what's the point? Like what issue with amazon search are you trying to solve? Cool weekend project either way. Props.

  Good question -- it's not really solving anything, it's just a different way of viewing Amazon products in a slightly more slick interface. It might save you a few seconds on a search, or it might not. I mostly just wanted to play around with the Amazon API and AJAX calls. Thanks!

    Which API are you using? Didn't know they had a product API.

      Check out Amazon's Product Advertising API: https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/advertising/api/detail/main.html https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/advertising/api/deta... It supports Item Lookup, Item Search, Cart Creation, etc. Pretty cool!

        You can browse category nodes too iirc

    And you didn't set it up so that you can get "up to 8.5% in referral fees when the users you refer to Amazon sites buy qualifying products"?

      Who cares, why is it wrong to get referrals?
      • theshadowmonkey 12y ago
        +1 what's wrong in using referrals. Every web company out there is earning money more or less the same way.

    It does not improve my search experience of save any time.
