We're continuously updating ASIN Data API to add features and functionality, most of which are a direct result of requests from customers. See the latest updates below. Within the ASIN Data API Dashboard you can subscribe to be alerted via email when new updates are released.
Update Type | Detail |

Enhancement | Update to Amazon Choice in search results We updated the parser to populate the amazon_choice object in results for products with the “Overall Pick” badge. Amazon changed the badge name from “Amazon Choice” to “Overall Pick” so the amazon_choice object was returning an empty result. Note : Amazon only changed the badge name in the search results. The Amazon Choice badge still appears on the product page. Read More

| Business Update As a result of significant growth, our infrastructure — namely the dynamic routing of traffic to accommodate high volume customers — has recently required updates. Reworking architecture patterns and proxy configurations has taken us a fair amount of time, which in turn has led to some slower customer issue resolution. We'd like to assure you that we’ve identified and corrected the infrastructural shortcomings, and the outcome is a 50% increase in infrastructure and proxy capacity. We apologize for the potential business interruptions you may have experienced over the last couple months. Our aim is to earn your trust back and continue to support the realization of your business goals. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you require further information. |
