I don't get prices with Amazon Product Advertising API
- by Xarem
I try to get prices of an ASIN number with the Amazon Product Advertising API.
Code:
$artNr = "B003TKSD8E";
$base_url = "http://ecs.amazonaws.de/onca/xml";
$params = array(
'AWSAccessKeyId' => self::API_KEY,
'AssociateTag' => self::API_ASSOCIATE_TAG,
'Version' => "2010-11-01",
'Operation' => "ItemLookup",
'Service' => "AWSECommerceService",
'Condition' => "All",
'IdType' => 'ASIN',
'ItemId' => $artNr);
$params['Timestamp'] = gmdate("Y-m-d\TH:i:s.\\0\\0\\0\\Z", time());
$url_parts = array();
foreach(array_keys($params) as $key)
$url_parts[] = $key . "=" . str_replace('%7E', '~', rawurlencode($params[$key]));
sort($url_parts);
$url_string = implode("&", $url_parts);
$string_to_sign = "GET\necs.amazonaws.de\n/onca/xml\n" . $url_string;
$signature = hash_hmac("sha256", $string_to_sign, self::API_SECRET, TRUE);
$signature = urlencode(base64_encode($signature));
$url = $base_url . '?' . $url_string . "&Signature=" . $signature;
$response = file_get_contents($url);
$parsed_xml = simplexml_load_string($response);
I think this should be correct - but I don't get offers in the response:

Can someone please explain me why I don't get any price-information?
Thank you very much
