An amazon product api for NPM, as if the world needs another :P

Shazbot!

A amazon product API wrapper I built because the other active ones I tried didn't work for the EAN/UPC lookups I needed, this may expand or stay a small library.

Usage

First get an instance of the library

var AmazonProductAPI = require('shazbot');
var api = new AmazonProductAPI({
	AWSAccessKeyId: '<your key>',
    AWSSecret: '<your secret>',
    AssociateTag: '<your associate id>'
});

Then make requests

api.lookup({
	itemId : options.upc,
    searchIndex: 'All',
    idType:'UPC'
}, function(err, results){
	//results, in a - delimited format
})

All fields are named from the API and may be delivered in a variety of case/delimeter formats (LikeThis, likeThis, Like-This, like-This, Like-this, like-this, Like_This, like_This, Like_this, like_this, Like This, like This, Like this, like this), so it should chew through whatever label format you throw at it.

To change the delimiter for the output format just set it on the instance:

api.delimiter = '_';

That is all.

Testing

I didn't write tests because of the need to have either working amazon credentials or a mock of it. That would be a first step if you want to write them.

If you find any rough edges, please submit a bug!

Enjoy,
