ColdFusion Amazon Web Service ItemSearch

A few days ago I blogged on how to use the amazon web service ecommerce API to query for a list of products and get a struct of the results. I have cleaned up the code and tested it with BlueDragon and CFMX 6.1.

I call it AmazonCFC.

Right now the only function is ItemSearch. It should be pretty easy for someone to modify should they need to and it is free for anyone to use. Over time I will add other methods.

It gathers artist, title, ASIN, category (group), and detail URL based on a search string. Many filters allow you to refine your search and the number of results.

Download Here

Example Use:

view plain print about
1<cfinvoke component = "amazonWS" method = "itemSearch" returnVariable = "amazonresults"
2searchstring = "Bon Jovi"
3grouptypes="Apparel,DVD,Music,VHS,Video"
4accesskey=""
5maxpages = "5"
6merchantId = "All"
7condition = "All"
8availability = "Available"
9>
