Amazon AWS script

a script that displays a static set of products

[majjk]

I have been searching the web for an amazon aws script that doesn't search amazon, but displays a number of pre-defined products. I have found nothing. Amazing! All scripts seems to be focusing on searching for amazon products. That is not what I want. Basically I want a very simple script where I only have to specify a list of ASIN/ISBN in a database/textfile (a cache function would be nice as well, but isn't 100% necessary) for the script to display a number of products (x number of products on each page). This seems so simple. It must be out there somewhere. I would feel like an idiot building something from scratch when there are a million scripts out there already doing exactly this.

Do you know of any scripts that might be of interest to me?

errrr................. have you thought of using the options available in Amazon Associates' Build a Link section? You can put in an ASIN and it gives you the HTML... copy and paste this a dozen times or whatever number of products you have, substituting the ASIN each time....

yes that is how I have done it up until now. This way you don't get all the information that is available, such as description, price etc. It is also 100% static. If there is a change in the price or availability, then this isn't reflected on your pages. If there would be no other solution available, then this is how I would do it. However, I believe there are loads of clever scripts out there... somewhere.

Have you posted this question on the Amazon Associate boards at Amazon? Much more likely to be read by someone who has what you want.

Do a search for Jaap's Amazon Scripts. If you know a little PHP you should be able to get it to do what you want. AWS can only return 10 items at a time though.

I have a script that does exactly what you want. I'll send it to you later today when I get home from work.

I guess you don't have programming skills, because any of amazon script can be modified to show a list of ASINs and not a browse node search.

But, using this will make your pages loading harder (for a browse node - one query to Amazon, for ASIN list - one query for each ASIN so the time increase). A simple cache script (that puts the content into a file on the server ) can resolve that problem.

We can discuss more but I don't really have time right now... I'll post later if it is necesary...
