You’ve got right Kyle. I checked one hour later and it worked again. I didn’t changed a thing on the code. It seems like it was a temporary issue by Amazon.

Frans, I’m not sure. It sounds like you’re having connectivity issues or the URL it’s creating is not correct. I haven’t used this in a while, but some of the recent comments make me think it still works for some people.

It worked great but the code stopped working today.

I got 2 warnings:

[function.simplexml-load-file]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable

simplexml_load_file() [function.simplexml-load-file]: I/O warning : failed to load external entity

And the notice:

Trying to get property of non-object in

Do you know what te problem is?

Jayant, this is a template for GET requests, I haven’t had the opportunity to come up with a POST request for AWS. Best of luck.

Great Tutorial .. its working fine with get request .. but some of actions are required POST request like for PutUserPolicy and UploadSigningCertificate. Do you have any example for that as well?

Regards
Jayant

Kevin, if you look on Amazon’s web services API (linked in the article above), they give you examples of all types of data that you can get in the XML that comes back from this request. My solution is really only a utility to make the request, it doesn’t do anything with the data. The XML data that you get is different depending on what type of product category and what type of search that you perform, so there’s no way to say exactly how to use this — you’ll definitely have to refer to their documentation for more detailed information on the data that you can use.

Can you please tell how do I get the product details though xml feed e.g. suppose I want to get Product Name, Price and Description from this page:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0756667526/ref=s9_qpp_gw_p14_ir03?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0WNR84JB92G1N0R7MAW7&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846

How will i proceed?
