Thread: Searching Amazon bot?

Hi,

Is there any type of search bot for amazon?

Something that you could put in a list a titles and it would give you the amazon code for each item.

I started doing this by hand. It would take for ever

Here is a sample for you to understand what I am wanting to do.

Tobin Bell Biography, Filmography, Pictures | Free Women's Blog

Some actors have over 200 movies.

Gotta be a faster way then to look each movie up by hand.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Sami

Take a look at Amazon Feed.

What was the exact error message?

The Amazon feed (all of the products) as well as about 30 million other products, are all aggregated into Popshops: Affiliate marketing with Data Feeds

Hmmm.... here's line 37:

Code:

foreach($xml->Items->Item as $item)

That doesn't help.

Perhaps this is merely a result of not yet configuring the plugin? It is only a warning message. I'd go to Tools -> AmazonFeed -> Options and fill in the correct data.

I'd also go to Tools -> AmazonFeed -> Message Log and look for errors.

No idea what that PHP code means If changing the program settings doesn't work, maybe PHP needs to be updated or have some settings enabled to recognize that function. Again, I know nothing about PHP coding, but I know from an admin perspective that sometimes updates or fixing PHP settings can resolve warnings like that.

Hi,

I have configured the plugin

That is the error the is showing up when I check the Message Log.

I can not get one wp amazon plugin to work on this site but they will work on other sites.

Only amazon that works seem to be widgets.

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()

This means that the data is not compatible with the script such as if a data feed was not available and instead, an error message was being displayed from the data feed site for whatever reason.

In this case, the code is expecting an array of data but it got something else such as an error message.
