Dougie,

Thanks, but as I think you deduce, that’s not what I’m trying to do. I have an 
ordinary Amazon account; I use it quite a lot. I want to be able to get from 
Amazon a list of all the stuff I’ve ordered, using a formal API. There aren’t 
any data protection issues, as it’s my data (and, obviously, I’d expect to have 
to use my Amazon userID and password to get at any of it).

Currently, I use an AppleScript to obtain the “we have received your order” 
emails from Mail, then parse them using regular expressions. It sort of works, 
but it’s flakey as hell, in part because they keep changing the details.

Hey ho.

Jeremy
