Is there an Amazon API program?

Like the one Shopping.com offers.

I have a Shopping(dot)com API and was eager start creating pages that show a listing of sources for various products. I was disappointed to find that for many of the products on topic with my site that there was often just a single Shopping(dot)com retailer in the list, as opposed to five or 10.

In many cases the single retailer shown was a listing somehow associated with Amazon, so I figured why not just be an Amazon affiliate and cut out the middleman. When I remembered that I was already an Amazon "associate," I went to their site to see if they offered an API service like Shopping(dot)com so I could show a listing of product sources on pages I created and formatted. I really didn't see that offered, however they have so many different names for so many different advertising products I wasn't sure if I had over looked it. Does Amazon offer a program where you format product listings on your pages as opposed to using one of their prepackaged "widget" type solutions?

Have you looked into the Amazon Web Services? For some reason, they seem to have made the information more difficult to find than it used to be - After you sign into the associates part of the site, click on "Other Resources" and select "Performance Tips" - then follow the Amazon Web Services link.
