An Amazon Review and Wish List Consumer for .NET

Get your Reviews and Wish List from Amazon then store it locally in XML format.

Introduction

To use this module for your own Amazon reviews and product lists you will need to sign-up for the following:

• An Amazon Web Service (AWS) access key. http://aws.amazon.com/
• An Amazon Associates tag. https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/associates/join
• An Amazon Account. http://www.amazon.com/gp/css/homepage.html

Then you will need to write a review or create a wish list, and then find the following:

• The listid you want to retrieve a list from.

Don't know where to find this? I found my ListId by navigating to my wish list: http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/registry.html/?id=3JU6ASKNUS7B8 then pulling out 3JU6ASKNUS7B8 (the identifier after id= from the url).

• The CustomerId you want to retrieve reviews from.

Don't know where to find this? I found my CustomerId by navigating to my reviews: http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/A2JM0EQJELFL69/ then pulling out A2JM0EQJELFL69 (the last element of the url).

Example

//Hydrate the request object with your Amazon details
IAmazonRequest amazonRequest = new AmazonRequest();
amazonRequest.AssociateTag = "adamkahtavaap-20";
amazonRequest.AWSAccessKeyId = "1MRF________MR2";
amazonRequest.CustomerId = "A2JM0EQJELFL69";
amazonRequest.ListId = "3JU6ASKNUS7B8";

//Hydrate your file parameter object with your file details (where you want the files saved to)
IFileParameters fileParameters = new FileParameters();

string folderPath = Path.Combine(HttpContext.Current.Request.PhysicalApplicationPath, "Xml");
fileParameters.ProductFileNameAndPath = folderPath + @"\Products.xml";
fileParameters.ReviewFileNameAndPath = folderPath + @"\Reviews.xml";
fileParameters.ErrorFileNameAndPath = folderPath + @"\Errors.xml";

IAmazonApplication amazonApplication = new AmazonApplication(amazonRequest, fileParameters);

amazonApplication.Save();

Once the code is persisted to your local environment you can consume it. I've loaded mine into a couple repeaters which can be viewed here: http://adam.kahtava.com/codesamples/adamdotcom.amazon/samplewebapp/default.aspx
