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 🙏

You'd think one of the hundred amazon wrappers would have worked for me... but they didn't, so I wrote this

Readme

Shazbot!

A amazon product API wrapper I built because the other active ones I tried didn't work for the EAN/UPC lookups I needed, this may expand or stay a small library.

Usage

First get an instance of the library

var AmazonProductAPI = require('shazbot');
var api = new AmazonProductAPI({
	AWSAccessKeyId: '<your key>',
    AWSSecret: '<your secret>',
    AssociateTag: '<your associate id>'
});

Then make requests

api.lookup({
	itemId : options.upc,
    searchIndex: 'All',
    idType:'UPC'
}, function(err, results){
	//results, in a - delimited format
})

All fields are named from the API and may be delivered in a variety of case/delimeter formats (LikeThis, likeThis, Like-This, like-This, Like-this, like-this, Like_This, like_This, Like_this, like_this, Like This, like This, Like this, like this), so it should chew through whatever label format you throw at it.

To change the delimiter for the output format just set it on the instance:

api.delimiter = '_';

That is all.

Testing

I didn't write tests because of the need to have either working amazon credentials or a mock of it. That would be a first step if you want to write them.

If you find any rough edges, please submit a bug!

Enjoy,
