Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Common Request Parameters

  • AccessKey - An alphanumeric token that uniquely identifies you. For information about getting an Access Key, see Register for Product Advertising API.
  • SecretKey - A key that is used in conjunction with the Access Key to cryptographically sign an API request. To retrieve your Access Key or Secret Access Key, refer Register for Product Advertising API.
  • PartnerTag - An alphanumeric token that uniquely identifies a partner. In case of an associate, this token is the means by which Amazon identifies the Associate to credit for a sale. If the value for PartnerType is Associate, specify the store ID or tracking ID of a valid associate store from the requested marketplace as the value for PartnerTag. For example, If store-20 and store-21 are store id or tracking id of customer in United States and United Kingdom marketplaces respectively, then customer needs to pass store-20 as PartnerTag in all PAAPI requests for United States marketplace and store-21 as PartnerTag in all PAAPI requests for United Kingdom marketplace. To obtain an Partner Tag, see Sign up as an Amazon Associate.
  • PartnerType - The type of Amazon program. For more information on valid values, refer PartnerType Parameter.
  • Marketplace - Default value is US. Note: Host and Region are predetermined based on the marketplace value. There's is no need for you to add Host and Region as soon as you specify correct Marketplace value. If your region is not US or .com, please make sure you add the correct Marketplace value.

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.
