So I got the email from Amazon about some changes and now I am wondering what impact it will have on people who are using ANS.

Here is the email.

Dear Product Advertising API Developer,
As part of our continued effort to ensure that Product Advertising API is an efficient and effective advertising tool, we've identified opportunities to streamline the API. Certain operations and response groups currently supported are infrequently used or are not aligned with the primary purpose of the Product Advertising API, which is to enable Associates to make money by advertising Amazon products in their websites and applications and sending traffic back to Amazon.
The changes, described below, will help us continue to provide you with relevant and useful features to advertise Amazon products. The following changes to the API will take effect on October 25, 2011:

• Associate Tag will be a required and verified input parameter in all requests to the API
• Seller Look up, Seller Listing Look up and Seller Listing Search operations will no longer be supported by the API
• Item Page parameter will be reduced to a maximum of 10 pages for Item Search results
• Merchant Id parameter will no longer be supported for filtering offers, variations, or search results
• Merchants search index will no longer be supported
• Data returned by the Offers and Item Attributes response groups will be limited to the most frequently used attributes
For more details about these changes, please click here.

Thank you for using the Product Advertising API to advertise Amazon.

Sincerely,
The Product Advertising API Team

I am wondering the same thing myself. I have not been in the forum in a while. I see not much has changed. I see fresh spam for today. Wow! Unbelievable....this script could be magnificent only if the developers would G.A.D.

[Determined]

I agree with you.

Well, is an upgrade needed?


Will the script be upgraded?

[Determined]

This has got to be the worst support for a product. The forum is spammed and you cant just get easy answers.

Sorry, but i am one programmer who fixes bugs, adds new features, answers here and answers on the tickets.

I work as i can.

Fine! We know you have no time to improve ANS but this solutions need serious updates.
So let us do the job for you at no cost !
How is that possible??? Simply add a white label version of ANS with uncrypted php pages so that we can improve ANS and fix bugs without disturbing you.

It is a simple solution that will make your customers HAPPY from using ANS and it will save you time.

Let us know if this solution will appear soon.

Thanking you for your prompt reply.

I am programmer but not owner of the script.

Now rewritten API.

[Borg]

OK, I need to talk with the owner of the script. Can you send me contact details?
Or simply tell to the owner to contact me via this forum.

Thanks in advance

I am sure the script will be updated eventually. The site is supported by a few (or maybe just one) programmer and that makes me nervous. The owner should charge a small annual renewal fee just like A-O-M (a famous competitor amazon associate script) so he/she will have enough funds to improve the ANS script.

I am sure many of us will be willing to pay a small renewal fee to get updated scripts and prompt support. Just my 2-cent.
