biokemist6 done!nohope587 done! Amazon can't be done at the moment. They make me crazy, they do not have rss feeds specific to a seller which is so 90's.  If anyone can find a seller specific feed from Amazon I'll give them a 6 month supporter badge.  You're personal site can't be done since it has no feed, sorry.

Thanks Dad. I guess I will start having to learn how to incorporate RSS. Its taken me a year to get the shopping cart thingy to a point where I feel I should make an attempt to incorporate it. I need to go back to work for a month or two so I have time to work on it.

You could actually build your own html-snarf-and-stuff-into-xml.. with all your free time, of course There's a bunch of places you can program to do it, too. Of course, they brand the results. Here's one for nohope done using feed43: http://www.feed43.com/amazon_nohope.xmlThe item titles are a bit inelegant, but you might be able to extract the titles better. This was just a quickie. |

While I certainly appreciate the effort, I refuse to use a content scraper. They are the dregs of the earth. They are basically thieves. When I find someone scraping here, I turn their stolen content into... well... let's just say I make it very undesirable. Every time I visit the topic of Amazon feeds, it just boggles my mind. The largest and most trusted online retailer on the planet, doesn't provide a feed for their sellers. Even rinky dink free auction software does that right out of the box.  |

Ouch, no beatings please! Quote:

Although I'd never seen one in the associates area, I remember thinking they MUST have some, right?  I went looking after you posted about it the first time.. the usual proprietary stuff everywhere (I hate iframes) but zero feeds. Unbelievable. In this case though, what would be stolen? Definitely not their intellectual property Anyway.. they do have an API. I suppose they would rather everyone else put in the time and effort to learn their code. |

I have API keys, and use them on a few sites, and am somewhat familiar with it... but I see nothing to pull specific sellers at all. Here's the feed documentation. Now you could back door it with the tag feeds with the sellers help. Agree on a goofy tag like ghdyfmjghsl and I could pull it that way, but there goes the automation that I love so dearly.  I've been looking for a seller feed off and on for 2 years. I even had my friend Donna who sells many thousands of dollars worth of stuff per month on Amazon contact them.... no joy. |
