V4.0 to V5.0 Mapping
Due to major change from V4.0 to V5.0, most of the legacy application may not work properly since V4.0 is not supported anymore.
We're currently working on mapping some commonly used operations from the V4.0 and make it available soon to work with the V5.0.
In the mean time, please check amazon documentation on how to map.
FAQ
What are the available resources I can add in the parameter? Please refer to this page.
How can I do itemLookup using a UPC or EAN? You can lookup using searchItems operation. Add your UPC or EAN under the keyword parameter. More details here.
What if I included an invalid ASIN value in ASIN array parameter? You will get an error response but the result of the valid ASINs are still included in the response data. Please refer to the last portion of this page.
Is the addCart Operation still supported in V5.0? It is deprecated, But you can use Add to Cart form to integrate cart on your websites.
