Amazon API Search Parameters Sorted By Search Index

Filed under: Site Management —

amazon_logoOk this is a pretty boring page so its not worth the read unless you are working with the new Amazon Store API.

If you are you need to retrieve information from their site and to do so you need to know what Search Parameters are available within each Search index.

Each Search must be accompanied with the Index (category.. dvd ..music) and Parameter you are using to search for like : Manufacturer, Artist Keywords and so on.

As you will see the very first one ALL allows the search parameter Keywords so if you can only search in one way then use the SearchIndex name and Keywords=”something” to return your search information.

Here is the index for AMAZON.COM and it is current as of API Version 2009-03-31 .

If you are using DE, JP, UK or CA you will have other SearchIndexes.
