A2S Query

http://ecs.amazonaws.com/onca/xml?
   Service=AWSECommerceService
   &AWSAccessKeyId=00QT3TC4J6BBJ52N9C02
   &AssociateTag=browsenodes-20
   &Operation=BrowseNodeLookup
   &BrowseNodeId=508532
   &ResponseGroup=Request,BrowseNodeInfo,TopSellers,NewReleases,MostWishedFor,MostGifted
   &Version=2009-01-06

The above URL executes an A2S BrowseNodeLookup query. The BrowseNodeLookup operation returns information about the specified browse node as identified by the BrowseNodeId parameter.

The Request response group returns all of the parameters and their values that were submitted in a request. This helps with debugging, but be aware that all parameters, including unrecognized/invalid parameters, are included.

The BrowseNodeInfo response group is the default for the BrowseNodeLookup operation. It returns the name, ancestors, and children of the node specified by the BrowseNodeId parameter.

The MostGifted response group returns the ten "most gifted" products associated with the node specified by the BrowseNodeId parameter.

Sorry. I was unable to perform the query because of limits set by Amazon.com. Please address any complaints to associates@amazon.com.
