Php - Get Current Price of amazon products using Amazon API

Question

I've successfully implemented amazon product search using the code given in:

I don't get prices with Amazon Product Advertising API.

Now I'm trying to fetch the current price of a product from Amazon. I got only the retail price.

For example, when I try to fetch the prices of the product: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0743273567/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER using amazon API, I got the following values:

ListPrice] => Array
                    (
                        [0] => Array

                                [Amount] => 1500
                                [CurrencyCode] => USD
                                [FormattedPrice] => $15.00

                                                                [FormattedPrice] => $11.57
                                                            )

                                                    )

                                                [PercentageSaved] => 77 .....

The retail price : $15.00 can be seen in the ListPrice parameter, but I couldn't find the current price : $7.70 anywhere in the api response.

I've also tried the various ResponseGroups like: Offers, OfferFull, Large, Medium etc.

Please help me. Thanks in Advance !

Answer 1

This might be a little bit late but to get the current price , you need to include Offers Responsegroup , and then get the current price from this node

$price = htmlentities((string) $item->Offers->Offer->OfferListing->Price->Amount);

as the XML actually looks like this

<Item> 
  <ASIN>B00KOKTZLQ</ASIN> 
  <OfferSummary> 
    <LowestNewPrice> 
      <Amount>3998</Amount> 
      <CurrencyCode>USD</CurrencyCode> 
      <FormattedPrice>$39.98</FormattedPrice> 
    </LowestNewPrice>  
    <TotalNew>4</TotalNew> 
    <TotalUsed>0</TotalUsed> 
    <TotalCollectible>0</TotalCollectible> 
    <TotalRefurbished>0</TotalRefurbished> 
  </OfferSummary> 
  <Offers> 
    <TotalOffers>1</TotalOffers> 
    <TotalOfferPages>1</TotalOfferPages>

Answer 2

From amazon docs, it suggests that Operation=ItemLookup return the product data and from that response you have <LowestNewPrice><Amount> tag which gives you latest price of requested item. So please refer that document provided by amazon.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks!

Answer 3

You can easily get the price with response group like : responseGroup('Medium,OfferSummary,VariationSummary')

The key : VariationSummary has the object where you can find:

• LowestPrice
• HighestPrice
• LowestSalePrice
• HighestSalePrice

Note that you may not get all above price params in variationSummery object so make the check accordingly.
