hey Carl I have messed with their REST API briefly. Here is an example of what I am doing.
First of all searching for Walter and Bunny Rabbits famous album "Rabbits Go Pop". Do a CFHTTP call to: http://webservices.amazon.com/onca/xml?Service=AWSECommerceService&SubscriptionId=XYZ123&Keywords=walter+and+the+bunny+rabbits+rabbits+go+pop&Operation=ItemSearch&ResponseGroup=ItemIds&SearchIndex=Music NOTE: you will need to replace the subscription id "XYZ123" with whatever they assign you and the search on an artist/album that actually exists if you want to get results. Its then a matter of doing some XML parsing on the response to check if any results were returned and if they were then grabbing the ASIN (product code). Once you have this you can go in and grab some more detail on that particular product. http://webservices.amazon.com/onca/xml?Service=AWSECommerceService&SubscriptionId=XYZ123&ItemId=#ASIN#&Operation=ItemLookup&ResponseGroup=Small,Tracks,EditorialReview,Images,Reviews You'll then get another XML response that will contain whatever you requested in the ResponseGroup parameter. In this case I'm asking for the short summary, the track listing, the editorial review, then images and the customer reviews. Thats about all I've done - fairly straight forward and easy to set up. The only really tricky bit is working out which elements of the response may be missing (e.g. some products may not have an editorial review) and dealing with that.
