What are some alternative methods to obtaining ASINs for a large number of products from a specific seller on Amazon for website integration?
When integrating a large number of products from a specific seller on Amazon into a website, obtaining ASINs manually can be time-consuming. An alternative method is to use the Amazon Product Advertising API to programmatically retrieve ASINs for a list of products based on the seller's ID.
// Initialize the Amazon Product Advertising API
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use ApaiIO\Configuration\GenericConfiguration;
use ApaiIO\Operations\Search;
use ApaiIO\ApaiIO;
$conf = new GenericConfiguration();
$conf
->setCountry('com')
->setAccessKey('YOUR_ACCESS_KEY')
->setSecretKey('YOUR_SECRET_KEY')
->setAssociateTag('YOUR_ASSOCIATE_TAG');
$apaiIO = new ApaiIO($conf);
// Define the seller ID
$sellerId = 'SELLER_ID';
// Define the list of products
$products = array('PRODUCT_1', 'PRODUCT_2', 'PRODUCT_3');
// Retrieve ASINs for each product
foreach ($products as $product) {
$search = new Search();
$search
->setCategory('All')
->setKeywords($product)
->setMerchantId($sellerId);
$response = $apaiIO->runOperation($search);
$asin = $response['Items']['Item'][0]['ASIN'];
echo "ASIN for $product: $asin\n";
}
