Amazon Product Advertising API : How to get a JSON response for ItemLookup/Search
Question
I'm trying to get the details of Amazon product from its ASIN. The product API allows to do a Itemlookup with ASIN , but the return value is in XML .
I want to do this call for Itemlookup from client side, so would like to do a JSONP call, which I couldn't find.
I found some articles on the web to convert the XML to JSON format using XSLT stylesheet:
(a) https://bitbucket.org/basti/python-amazon-product-api/src/tip/examples/json-results.py
I tried using this python-amazon-product-api and this example, but I couldn't get a JSON return.
(b) http://www.kokogiak.com/gedankengang/2006/05/consuming-amazons-web-api-directly.html
The request I tried to send is:
http://xml-us.amznxslt.com/onca/xml?AWSAccessKeyId=[ACCESS KEY]&AssociateTag=[ASSOCIATE TAG]&ContentType=text%2Fjavascript&IdType=ASIN&ItemId=B008IEGS9W&Operation=ItemLookup&ResponseGroup=Images%2CItemAttributes&Service=AWSECommerceService&Style=http%3A%2F%2Fforums.delphiforums.com%2Fdelphidocsz%2Famazon%2Fjson.xsl&Timestamp=2012-09-04T06%3A40%3A11Z&Signature=AGOqXvVSeMp3YyVkT4mGNXVx0cFGG%2Bh%2FdAebevbbF9o%3D
Please help with getting a JSON format with Amazon product API . Any suggestions are welcome.
The OP can run this style-sheet (input document not used) to determine his XSLT version.

Try either of these ::
- Amazon JSON API - This is a ruby webservice to pass through requests and translate the responses to JSON.
- Try any of these Javascript functions to convert the XML you already have into JSON :
I've tried thomasfrank myself. Its easy and works well :)

(disclosure) I'm Max and I'm a cofounder of Zinc (zinc.io). Our API produces a JSON response for both pricing and the product details page. Here's a typical response for ASIN details: https://www.dropbox.com/s/peccdc1m2j34e0d/B018QPI98A.json?dl=0 . If you're interested, see here: docs.zincapi.com
