Automatically If there are products in a category

Amazon Associates

Trigger

Returns the next product found for a keyword inside a specific category.

When using the Amazon API, it's crucial to understand that you can only retrieve results from the first 10 pages, with a maximum of 10 products per page, limiting access to a total of 100 products. To overcome this restriction and access a wider variety of products, it's necessary to make more specific queries.

  • EU Omnibus regulation (allows to show the lowest price of the last 30 days as a reference price).
  • You can specify a keyword as well as a category to optimize your search.
  • Sort the results according to different criteria such as opinions, recent products, top rated , cheap, expensive or relevant.
  • Improve the quality of the results by setting a minimum number of stars.
  • Determine with precision the range of products to extract by setting a minimum and maximum price.
  • Extract the best products by establishing the minimum discount that the products must meet to be selected.
  • Exclude from the results those products that share very similar names.
  • Improve the diversity of results by prioritizing the diversity of categories.

Frequently Asked Questions


Why can't I find my preferred language in the Amazon Affiliates API?

Not all languages are available for all countries in the Amazon Affiliates API. Each marketplace supports only certain languages. If the preferred language you're looking for doesn't appear among the available options for the country associated with your Amazon affiliate account, it means that Amazon does not consider it as a supported language for that country.

Common Errors


Error:TooManyRequests. The request was denied due to request throttling. Please verify the number of requests made per second to the Amazon Product Advertising API.

  1. Amazon may not have enabled your API access yet (even if you have already been able to generate your access keys).

    Amazon API access credentials are typically not available from the time they are created. In some cases it may be necessary to wait up to 48 hours before they can be used, while other users have even reported waiting several weeks.

    We recommend waiting up to 48 hours from the time you create your Amazon credentials.
  2. Your Amazon API has access to a different country than the one you indicated in the Botize connection form.

    In this case you will have to connect another affiliate account that does operate in the country for which you are interested.
  3. It is possible that you are exceeding the number of calls that Amazon allows you or that access to the Amazon API has been revoked.

    When Amazon gives you access to the API and creates your credentials, it allows you to make only one API request for one second and a maximum of 8,640 requests per day for the first 30 days. Subsequently, and depending on the sales made, Amazon will extend or reduce these limits.

    If you have multiple tasks running at the same time, you may be making more API calls in the same second than Amazon allows. In this case, a solution is to schedule your tasks to run at different times so that they do not coincide with each other.

    See the page Amazon API Usage Limits to learn more About Amazon limits.
  4. You haven't made any sales for more than 1 month.

    You need a minimum of one sale per month to maintain your access to the API.

    If you have not made any sales in the last 30 days, Amazon can revoke access to the API.

Error: InvalidParameterValue. The value provided in the request for SearchIndex is invalid. Refer https://webservices.amazon.es/paapi5/documentation/locale-reference/spain.html#search-index for valid values.

The product category specified in your automatic task no longer exists. Amazon has changed, removed, or replaced this category with another.
