    <p>The Amazon Advertising API isn't <em>that</em> hard to use. Trying to figure out how to use the Google API would just be a waste of time. Here's the main site for the Amazon API:</p> <p><a href="https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/advertising/api/detail/main.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/advertising/api/detail/main.html</a></p> <p>This is the documentation for the Product Search:</p> <p><a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSECommerceService/latest/DG/ItemSearch.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSECommerceService/latest/DG/ItemSearch.html</a></p> <p>This is the documentation for signing a Amazon API request:</p> <p><a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSECommerceService/latest/DG/rest-signature.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSECommerceService/latest/DG/rest-signature.html</a></p> <p>Info on how to generate the hash for signing:</p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8458917/need-to-generate-hmac-sha256-hash-in-objective-c-as-in-java">Need to generate HMAC SHA256 hash in Objective C as in Java</a></p> <p>Unfortunately, Amazon will return XML. If you don't want to write an XML parser you can probably use existing code to just convert it to a dictionary (I haven't tried XMLDictionary, but it looks just fine):</p> <p><a href="https://github.com/nicklockwood/XMLDictionary" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/nicklockwood/XMLDictionary</a></p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> I typed up all this nice info before I did a search and discovered you need permission from Amazon in order to use the Advertising API on a mobile device. Who knows how you get that. I was just going to delete my answer, but I'll leave this all here.</p> <p><a href="https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/advertising/api/detail/agreement.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/advertising/api/detail/agreement.html</a></p>

    1. COthanks for all your comments and helpful info. I have seen that agreement before and was wondering if that applies to not using the data to sell anything. Basically all i want to do is do a search for products and store the data in my native app with no intention of buying anything. I dont want to create a WebView or anything like that. I just want to do a search on a product and get the results back and use this to populate tables/views in my iOS app. Does this use still apply to the part 4e??

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
