Product Advertising API 5.0 SDK for NodeJS

This repository contains the official Product Advertising API 5.0 NodeJS SDK called paapi5-nodejs-sdk that allows you to access the Product Advertising API from your NodeJS app.

Installation

For Node.js

The Product Advertising API NodeJS SDK can be installed via npm:

npm install paapi5-nodejs-sdk --save

You should now be able to require('paapi5-nodejs-sdk') in javascript files.

For browser

The library also works in the browser environment via npm and browserify. After following the above steps with Node.js and installing browserify with npm install -g browserify, perform the following (assuming main.js is your entry file, that's to say your javascript file where you actually use this library):

browserify main.js > bundle.js

Then include bundle.js in the HTML pages.

Webpack Configuration

Using Webpack you may encounter the following error: "Module not found: Error: Cannot resolve module", most certainly you should disable AMD loader. Add/merge the following section to your webpack config:

module: {
  rules: [
    {
      parser: {
        amd: false
      }
    }
  ]
}

Getting Started

Please follow the installation instruction and execute the following JS code:

Simple example for SearchItems to discover Amazon products with the keyword 'Harry Potter' in Books category:

var ProductAdvertisingAPIv1 = require('paapi5-nodejs-sdk');

var defaultClient = ProductAdvertisingAPIv1.ApiClient.instance;

// Specify your credentials here. These are used to create and sign the request.
defaultClient.accessKey = '<YOUR ACCESS KEY>';
defaultClient.secretKey = '<YOUR SECRET KEY>';

/**
 * PAAPI Host and Region to which you want to send request.
 * For more details refer: https://webservices.amazon.com/paapi5/documentation/common-request-parameters.html#host-and-region
 */
defaultClient.host = 'webservices.amazon.com';
defaultClient.region = 'us-east-1';

var api = new ProductAdvertisingAPIv1.DefaultApi();

// Request Initialization

var searchItemsRequest = new ProductAdvertisingAPIv1.SearchItemsRequest();

/** Enter your partner tag (store/tracking id) and partner type */
searchItemsRequest['PartnerTag'] = '<YOUR PARTNER TAG>';
searchItemsRequest['PartnerType'] = 'Associates';

/** Specify Keywords */
searchItemsRequest['Keywords'] = 'Harry Potter';

/**
 * Specify the category in which search request is to be made
 * For more details, refer: https://webservices.amazon.com/paapi5/documentation/use-cases/organization-of-items-on-amazon/search-index.html
 */
searchItemsRequest['SearchIndex'] = 'Books';

/** Specify item count to be returned in search result */
searchItemsRequest['ItemCount'] = 2;

/**
 * Choose resources you want from SearchItemsResource enum
 * For more details, refer: https://webservices.amazon.com/paapi5/documentation/search-items.html#resources-parameter
 */
searchItemsRequest['Resources'] = ['Images.Primary.Medium', 'ItemInfo.Title', 'Offers.Listings.Price'];

function onSuccess(data) {
  console.log('API called successfully.');
  var searchItemsResponse = ProductAdvertisingAPIv1.SearchItemsResponse.constructFromObject(data);
  console.log('Complete Response: \n' + JSON.stringify(searchItemsResponse, null, 1));
  if (searchItemsResponse['SearchResult'] !== undefined) {
    console.log('Printing First Item Information in SearchResult:');
    var item_0 = searchItemsResponse['SearchResult']['Items'][0];
    if (item_0 !== undefined) {
      if (item_0['ASIN'] !== undefined) {
        console.log('ASIN: ' + item_0['ASIN']);
      }
      if (item_0['DetailPageURL'] !== undefined) {
        console.log('DetailPageURL: ' + item_0['DetailPageURL']);
      }
      if (
        item_0['ItemInfo'] !== undefined &&
        item_0['ItemInfo']['Title'] !== undefined &&
        item_0['ItemInfo']['Title']['DisplayValue'] !== undefined
      ) {
        console.log('Title: ' + item_0['ItemInfo']['Title']['DisplayValue']);
      }
      if (
        item_0['Offers'] !== undefined &&
        item_0['Offers']['Listings'] !== undefined &&
        item_0['Offers']['Listings'][0]['Price'] !== undefined &&
        item_0['Offers']['Listings'][0]['Price']['DisplayAmount'] !== undefined
      ) {
        console.log('Buying Price: ' + item_0['Offers']['Listings'][0]['Price']['DisplayAmount']);
      }
    }
  }
  if (searchItemsResponse['Errors'] !== undefined) {
    console.log('Errors:');
    console.log('Complete Error Response: ' + JSON.stringify(searchItemsResponse['Errors'], null, 1));
    console.log('Printing 1st Error:');
    var error_0 = searchItemsResponse['Errors'][0];
    console.log('Error Code: ' + error_0['Code']);
    console.log('Error Message: ' + error_0['Message']);
  }
}

function onError(error) {
  console.log('Error calling PA-API 5.0!');
  console.log('Printing Full Error Object:\n' + JSON.stringify(error, null, 1));
  console.log('Status Code: ' + error['status']);
  if (error['response'] !== undefined && error['response']['text'] !== undefined) {
    console.log('Error Object: ' + JSON.stringify(error['response']['text'], null, 1));
  }
}

api.searchItems(searchItemsRequest).then(
  function(data) {
    onSuccess(data);
  },
  function(error) {
    onError(error);
