The benefit of doing the work in pipes is that you don't have to have a server from which to run the script. However, as I mentioned in my post about Signing Amazon Requests, it seems like signing Amazon requests using Pipes would require an external service that applies SHA1 to a block of text. A commenter suggested trying YQL rather than Yahoo! Pipes, but I decided instead to just redo the work in PHP since a server would have to be involved anyway. ]]> http://www.flexyourinfo.com/amazon-examples/feed/ 0 http://www.flexyourinfo.com/signing-amazon-requests/ http://www.flexyourinfo.com/signing-amazon-requests/#comments Sun, 09 Aug 2009 19:01:09 +0000 Heather http://www.flexyourinfo.com/?p=374 emails from Amazon reminding me that the Product Advertising API (formerly Amazon Associates Web Service) will require signed requests after August 15 of this year. From my understanding, this seems to encompass all calls, including calls to ItemLookup, which is primarily the way I've interacted with Amazon's services. I finally had some time today to sit down and figure out what this means for me--and it seems to be a bit of a mess!]]> http://www.flexyourinfo.com/signing-amazon-requests/feed/ 3
