Lookup an ASIN by GTIN / ISBN / UPC / EAN
Rainforest API can automatically convert GTIN/ISBN/UPC/EAN codes to ASINs and return product data. For details of how to lookup Amazon product details by GTIN/ISBN/UPC/EAN please see refer to the guide.
Note that Rainforest will cache the GTIN-to-ASIN mapping for 2 months. To force a new GTIN lookup (for example, if you suspect the existing mapping is stale), use the  skip_gtin_cache=true  request parameter (note that using  skip_gtin_cache=true  decrements 2 credits from your balance, instead of 1).
For example, to request details for the ASIN  B073JYC4XM  on  amazon.com  the request would be:
HTTP
Curl
Node.js
Python
PHP
