Awesome! Glad to know that someone out there is enjoying this tool. Has definitely given me more motivation to polish it up, rather than me slogging along.

I honestly did the referral link to the model search because prior to doing so I was trying to price check, but don't have a programmatic way of doing that without access to the Associates API.

I did it manually at first, but then saw price drifts within a couple of days. On top of that, some models on the list were out of production and I was hesitant to link pricing to models that were likely to be refurbished, old stock, or listed as used.

I wasn't aware of ASIN, I do like the approach better, so I can work on getting that switched over when I get free time over the weekend.

Thanks again for your feedback!


Ironically, although I work at AWS, I don't know much of anything about the consumer side of Amazon. Well, not much more than you'd expect from someone who has been an Amazon customer for years.

In particular, I know nothing about the API, although I did learn a few years ago about what an ASIN is. That's about as far as I can go, with regards to any kind of automated processing related to the consumer side.

I look forward to future enhancements to this tool! And let me know if you need any further testing.
