A2S Reference

Request (response)

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.

All A2S operations return the Request response group by default.

The above URL executes an A2S ItemSearch query. The ItemSearch operation returns information about products which match the specified parameters such as BrowseNode and SearchIndex

The above ItemSearch operation returns products associated with the Home / Uncategorized Nodes / Genres / MP3 Albums browse node (324381011) and the MP3Downloads search index.

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 Large response group returns a large amount of information about each item in the response.

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