-----------------------------------------
Hi,
This should be better asked at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL
> Automatically pull product info from amazon?
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: OFBIZ-12225
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-12225
> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: product
> Reporter: ddev
> Priority: Minor
>
> Rather then requiring people to type in the products model number and other
> specifications, what if when the user knew the asin of the product, when
> created a product, he could just type in the asin, and ofbiz would fetch the
> product name, model number, etc from a amazon lookup?
> It seems like this would save a ton of data entry, and help the end user
> significantly
>
> A possible issue I see is:
> Depending on how the person is going to use the information, I don't know the
> legal (copyright) status of going further and downloading pictures, the
> product description, etc. If there are legal/copyright issues, then perhaps
> tag all downloaded information as having come from a amazon download. This
> would allow certain content from being blocked from being redistributed on
> your own customer web site, but would still allow you to import the product
> info from the ASIN for products that *you* buy.
