This software is a Perl extension that allows users to retrieve information from Amazon.com. With this extension, users can retrieve information about products, prices, and availability from Amazon's vast inventory. The software is designed to make it easy for programmers to integrate Amazon data into their applications.
XML::Amazon is a powerful Perl module that simplifies the process of retrieving information from Amazon. With this module, you can effortlessly connect to Amazon's US, JP, UK, FR, DE, and CA platforms.
To get started with XML::Amazon, simply create a new object by specifying your Amazon Web Service ID, Secret Access Key, and locale. The default locale is the US, but you can choose from any of the supported platforms. You can also provide your Amazon associate ID, with the default being webservices-20.
Once you have created an XML::Amazon object, you can easily retrieve information about a specific item. For example, using the asin() method, you can retrieve an XML::Amazon::Item object based on its ASIN. If the retrieval is successful, you can access the item's title using $item->title.
The search() method allows you to search Amazon for items based on specific keywords. You can also specify the page number and item type. The search results are returned as an XML::Amazon::Collection object, which contains a list of XML::Amazon::Item objects.
The is_success() method returns true if the retrieval or search was successful and false otherwise. The XML::Amazon::Collection object provides additional methods for retrieving information on the search results, such as total_results(), total_pages(), and current_page().
The XML::Amazon::Item object provides various methods for retrieving information on the item, such as title(), made_by(), publisher(), url(), image(), and price(). The image() method returns the URL for the cover image, with the option to specify the size (s, m, or l).
Overall, XML::Amazon is a must-have tool for any developer looking to work with Amazon Web Services. It's user-friendly and efficient, providing a seamless experience for retrieving information from Amazon.
