Net::Amazon::Request(3) Baseclass for requests to Amazon's web service

SYNOPSIS


my $req = Net::Amazon::Request::XXX->new(
[ type => 'Large', ]
[ page => $start_page, ]
[ mode => $mode, ]
[ offer => 'All', ]
[ sort => $sort_type, ]
);

DESCRIPTION

Don't use this class directly, use derived classes (like "Net::Amazon::Request::ASIN", etc.) instead to specify the type of request and its parameters.

However, there's a bunch of parameters to the constructor that all request types have in common, here they are:

type
Defaults to "Large", but can also be set to "Medium", or "Small".
Large
The "Large" type provides everything in "Medium" as well as music track information, customer reviews, similar products, offers, and accessory data, i.e. the kitchen sink.
Medium
The "Medium" type provides everything in "Small" as well as sales rank, editorial reviews, and image URLs.
Small
The "Small" type provies ASIN, product title, creator (author, artist, etc.), product group, URL, and manufacturer.
mode
Defaults to "books", but can be set to other catalog values.
page
Defaults to 1, but can be set to a different number to start with a different result page. Used in conjunction with the "max_pages" parameter of the "Net::Amazon" object. "page" is the offset, "max_pages" is the maximum number of pages pulled in starting at "page".
sort
Defaults to "salesrank", but search results can be sorted in various ways, depending on the type of product returned by the search. Search results may be sorted by the following criteria:
  • Featured Items
  • Bestselling
  • Alphabetical (A-Z and Z-A)
  • Price (High to Low and Low to High)
  • Publication or Release Date
  • Manufacturer
  • Average Customer Review
  • Artist Name

Consult Net::Amazon::Request::Sort for details.

offer
To receive values for the fields "CollectibleCount", "NumberOfOfferings", "UsedCount", specify "offer => "All"".
