I’m using the amazon-product-advertising-api gem and am following the example code to try and grab music album data.

The code I have is as follows:

post '/mash' do
    username = params[:username]

    user = Scrobbler::User.new(username)

    @recommendations = user.recommendations

    @urls = { }
    @recommendations.each do |t|
        lookup = AmazonProductAdvertisingApi::Operations::Item::ItemSearch.new(t.name, search_index = "Music", region = :uk)
        lookup.run

        if lookup.is_valid
            title = lookup.response.items.first.item_attributes.title
            url = lookup.response.items.first.detail_page_url
            @urls[title] = url
        end
    end 

    haml :results
end

However, I receive the following error:

NoMethodError at /mash
undefined method `item_attributes' for nil:NilClass

When I do put lookup.response.items.first I get the following error/output:

TypeError at /mash

Which I assumed meant there is data there which I can access.

The full put lookup.response.items shows:

If I try and put title I get the following error:

ArgumentError at /mash
tried to create Proc object without a block

Where as raise title seems to know what is going on:

RuntimeError at /mash
Idle Forest of Chit Chat

The same thing happens if put/raise url (though obviously with the URL not the title).

Unfortunately my Ruby knowledge is in the stage of learn as I go and I have no idea what is happening right now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

(Also in case it helps, this is part of a Sinatra application…)
