I’ve been tinkering with Yahoo Pipes and the Amazon Product Advertising API (formerly ECS)

  • 0

I’ve been tinkering with Yahoo Pipes and the Amazon Product Advertising API (formerly ECS) SDK to retrieve my wishlist.

The problem is that although I can get all the items on my wishlist just fine, it seems to include items that I’ve deleted too.

Has anyone else used this API and noticed this? Is there a way around it?

UPDATE:

Requested additional information in comments…

Here is the URL I use to fetch the wishlist XML:

http://webservices.amazon.co.uk/onca/xml?SubscriptionId=[my subs id]&Service=AWSECommerceService&ResponseGroup=ListItems&ProductPage=1&ProductGroup=Book&Operation=ListLookup&ListType=WishList&ListId=[my list id]

And here is the relevant part of the XML response:

<ListId>[my list id]</ListId> <ListName>Wishlist</ListName> <TotalItems>132</TotalItems> <TotalPages>14</TotalPages> <ListItem>     <ListItemId>EPIE5559HKT391</ListItemId>     <DateAdded>2003-11-17</DateAdded>     <QuantityDesired>1</QuantityDesired>     <QuantityReceived>0</QuantityReceived>     <Item>         <ASIN>5557205521</ASIN>         <ItemAttributes>             <Title>Horton hears a who</Title>         </ItemAttributes>     </Item> </ListItem> ...

The rest of the XML is just either more list items like that, or information about the request at the top of the response.

  1. Ah. This is pilot error.

    I would explain what I’d done wrong, but I’m too embarassed.

    Deleted items do not show up in wish-lists after all. Yay.
