Amazon.com API

Wed, 03/12/2008 - 11:10 — morish10

Hi David,

With refernce to this article http://www.magicparser.com/node/123 is there a way to search the amazon.co.uk API without including the "&SearchIndex=Electronics" category info, For example if users are searching for a product which they are not sure of which category it is in.

Thanks

Might be worth deleting all amazon cookies from your computer in case they are in a funny state...
