Usage guide

Search items::

from amazon.paapi import AmazonAPI
amazon = AmazonAPI(KEY, SECRET, TAG, COUNTRY)
products = amazon.search_items(keywords='harry potter')
print(product['data'][0].image_large)
print(product['data'][1].prices.price)

Get multiple products information::

from amazon.paapi import AmazonAPI
amazon = AmazonAPI(KEY, SECRET, TAG, COUNTRY)
products = amazon.get_items(item_ids=['B01N5IB20Q','B01F9G43WU'])
print(products['data']['B01N5IB20Q'].image_large)
print(products['data']['B01F9G43WU'].prices.price)

Get variations::

from amazon.paapi import AmazonAPI
amazon = AmazonAPI(KEY, SECRET, TAG, COUNTRY)
products = amazon.get_variations(asin=['B01N5IB20Q','B01F9G43WU'])

Get browse nodes::

from amazon.paapi import AmazonAPI
amazon = AmazonAPI(KEY, SECRET, TAG, COUNTRY)
browseNodes = amazon.get_browse_nodes(browse_node_ids=['473535031'])

Use cache reader and writer::

from amazon.paapi import AmazonAPI

DATA = []

def custom_save_function(url, data, http_info):  
    DATA.append({'url':url, 'data': data, 'http_info':http_info})

def custom_retrieval_function(url):  
    for item in DATA:  
        if item["url"] == url: 
            return {'data':item['data'], 'http_info': item['http_info']}  
    return None

amazon = AmazonAPI(KEY, SECRET, TAG, COUNTRY, CacheReader=custom_retrieval_function, CacheWriter=custom_save_function) 
products = amazon.search_items(keywords='harry potter')
