Amazon ECS API to fetch 1000 top selling books

Question

I need the API to fetch the top selling books on Amazon. By default it only fetches the top 10 items, but I need more than 10, near about 1000 items content by using single hit.

OR

I need the way to scrape the 1000 top selling books using the Amazon ECS API.

OR

Is there any way except the Amazon API to scrape all of the top selling books on Amazon?

Answer 1

To get the 100 bestselling books you have to specify the ItemPage parameter:

http://ecs.amazonaws.com/onca/xml?
Service=AWSECommerceService&
AWSAccessKeyId=[AWS Access Key ID]&
Operation=ItemSearch&
BrowseNode=17&
SearchIndex=Books&
ItemPage=2
&Sort=salesrank
&Timestamp=[YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ]
&Signature=[Request Signature]

Problem: The maximum ItemPage number that can be returned is 10. So you cant get past 100 books.
