Amazon No API module

PreviousAmazon moduleNextAvantlink Products module

Last updated 8 months ago

How it woks?

The Amazon No API module now functions as a web scraper, a change necessitated by Amazon discontinuing Native Shopping Advertisements.

Since Amazon can block server IP access due to excessive requests, it's advisable to use built-in scraping services:

  • Scrapeowl.com

  • Crawlbase

These services are paid but provide free monthly limits, enabling you to add 3000+ products per month.

This module is intended for beginners, allowing them to start working on their website. After achieving three sales and receiving an API key, it's recommended to switch to the via the official API.

Price updates

For sites displaying product prices, Amazon mandates daily price updates. However, due to the challenges of web scraping, price display and updates are disabled by default in the NoAPI module. You can enable them in the module settings if needed.

Once you have API access and have configured the Amazon API module, you can delegate the task of updating prices to the Amazon module via the Product Advertising API.

How to get Associate Tag

Search by ASIN or URL

To find the right product, you can search using product URLs or ASINs. This method requires far fewer queries to the source site compared to a keyword search.

Multiple locales

Troubleshooting

Prices in the plugin do not match the prices on the Amazon site.

Amazon may display different prices based on the visitor's location. If you're using a scraping service, the bot may be assigned a random country, leading to price discrepancies.

To resolve this, you can add a specific parameter to your request to filter by country. For example, to use DE-based IPs, add the following code to your theme's functions.php file:

// For ScraperAPI
add_filter('cegg_amazon_client_url', 'my_cegg_amazon_client_url', 10, 1);
function my_cegg_amazon_client_url($url) {
    return add_query_arg('country_code', 'de', $url);
}

// For ScrapingDog
add_filter('cegg_amazon_client_url', 'my_cegg_amazon_client_url', 10, 1);
function my_cegg_amazon_client_url($url) {
    return add_query_arg('country', 'de', $url);
}
