Understanding Changes in Amazon Book API

Amazon Book API

There has been a lot of confusion in the past month, and specifically the past week about changes that are taking place with Amazon’s various API’s. This post is intended to clarify what has happened with Amazon Book API and explain where things currently stand.

Replacement for Amazon’s Product Advertising API

I’ve had several people contact me with concerns about the changes that are taking place with Amazon’s Product Advertising API‘s at the end of August. According to the notices that I’ve read, seller’s access to the Product Advertising API will be discontinued as of August 31st. Sellers are to migrate to the MWS Products API by then.

Changes to Preferred Vendors

News & Updates By The BookScouter Team April 24, 2012 Last Updated on February 26, 2025 by Abigail White Tags: BookScouter updates No Comments

We’ve just finished making some changes to the Preferred merchants listed on the site. With the number of buyback sites growing every month, we introduced the Preferred Vendor concept two years ago, and it has worked out really well. It makes the site faster for everybody, and it sends more users to those sites that can handle the higher volume and consistently have good user ratings. They also provide BookScouter a commission so that the site can continue to be used by anyone for free.

Amazon sellers are able to obtain product and pricing information through something called a product price API. This is basically a way for computers to talk to each other over the Internet. All scouting tools, listing tools, repricing tools, use Amazon Price API in order to obtain information about their products.

It’s time for me to make some modifications to the BookScouter Android and iOS applications, and I’m looking for some skilled programmers that are interested in working on these. If you are a developer, or know of one, please Let me know. I’m hoping to get started on some changes pretty soon to add some new functionality to the apps in the next month or two.

BookScouter Servers Upgraded

I’ve just completed moving the site over to the newer, faster servers, and everything appears to be working fine. There was no downtime that I was aware of, and everything went really smoothly. I’ve not done any concrete testing of the speed yet, but the site seems to be functioning a lot faster now. I’ve still got a few optimizations to make in the code to take advantage of some new features. The site is fairly complicated, so there is a chance that I missed something. I’ll be keeping a close eye on some log files over the next couple days, but if you see anything strange, please let me know about it so that I can make sure that it is running correctly.

BookScouter Server Maintenance

News & Updates By The BookScouter Team September 30, 2011 Last Updated on February 26, 2025 by Abigail White No Comments

I know the site has been having some issues lately and for the past week or more have been working on installing some new servers. I’m ready to move the site over to the new servers this evening. I’ll begin working on it around 9pm EST, and it will probably take a few hours. I don’t expect there to be any down time but wanted to give a heads-up just in case their becomes any issues. After the upgrades have been completed, I’ll be able to optimize a few more processes. It may take me another day or two to get that completed, so hopefully everything is running perfectly on Monday. I’ve specifically chosen to make the changes on a Friday night and over the weekend to try and minimize the possible disruption.

Insight into Amazon ABE2 and ABE3 Fulfillment Center

A recent article about the working conditions at an Amazon Fulfillment Center has gotten some interesting coverage.
