    Using Amazon Web Services With PHP And SOAP (part 2) - Linking Out


    (Page 7 of 7 )

    In addition to the methods described above, AWS includes a few more - here's a list of the ones I've missed:

    SellerSearchRequest() - retrieve a list of products sold by third-party sellers

    ListManiaSearchRequest() - retrieve a list

    WishlistSearchRequest() - retrieve a wishlist

    SellerProfileSearchRequest() - retrieve a third-party seller profile

    Integrating these into your online store is not very difficult - the procedure is technically similar to what is described above, with appropriate changes to the function calls and responses. For more information, take a look at the following links:

    The AWS home page, at http://www.amazon.com/webservices/

    The AWS discussion boards, at http://forums.prospero.com/am-assocdevxml

    The AWS "lite" DTD, at http://xml.amazon.com/schemas2/dev-lite.dtd

    The AWS "heavy" DTD, at http://xml.amazon.com/schemas2/dev-heavy.dtd

    The SOAP WSDL, at http://soap.amazon.com/schemas2/AmazonWebServices.wsdl

    And that's about it for the moment. In this concluding article, I introduced you to the AWS methods that allow you to add search functionality to your Amazon-backed online store, demonstrating how they could be used to locate items by keyword, author, artist, actor or manufacturer. I also showed you how to refine searches using similarity tests, and illustrated how you can provide shoppers with the ability to buy items using Amazon.com Payments, or add them to a wishlist on the main Amazon.com site.

    I hope you enjoyed this article, and that you found it helpful in your online e-commerce experience. Let me know what you thought, or if you'd like to read more about AWS...and until I see you next, have fun!
