CHAPTER 22 ?– USING AMAZON.COM WEB SERVICES 668
Note that the associate ID and the access key ID are two independent keys you have with
Amazon.com, each of them with its own purpose. The associate ID is an ID that you can include
in the Amazon.com links in your web site so that Amazon.com knows that the visitors who click
those links came from you. The associate ID is not secret, because anyone browsing your web
site can see the ID in the Amazon.com links in your site. All you need to sell Amazon.com products
through your web site is an associate ID. You don??™t need an access key ID, which is required
only when connecting to Amazon.com web services.
In TShirtShop, we connect to Amazon.com web services (and use the access key ID) to
perform searches on Amazon.com??™s catalog and obtain the products we include in the Amazon
T-Shirts department.
Accessing Amazon.com E-Commerce Service Using REST
REST web services are accessed by requesting a properly formed URL. Try the following link in
your browser (don??™t forget to replace the string [Your Access Key ID] with your real access key
ID that you obtained earlier):
