What's the formula for choosing Top Trending? Is it absolute or relative lift over the previous three hours? Can you disclose any details on the algorithms or the features used in the Similar Products API? I'd love to talk to you offline. Could you shoot me an email? Details in profile.

On the API team, we're simply packaging data that is cooked up internally by teams who are also providing data for the dot com site, as well as other stuff. Consequently, I can't give you good information (and in any case, I maybe couldn't even if I knew - some of these types of things (like trending, similar products, etc.) are carefully tweaked by business folks, same as at any other retailer. Nothing crazy; but I think the details are proprietary.).
