Just wanted some advice on using the Amazon API to run a check against their database to return a product. For example say a DVD was added, I want a link to be returned linking to the product on Amazon.
I've come across a few gems such as ruby-aws which ones from your experience are the best and easiest to use? Also with the most resources available, I'm a total Rails noob! So I need a lot of help with this.
Thank-You

If you have not already registered, sign up for the Associate program and Product Advertising API. After you have your Partner Tag (Store/Tracking ID) and Credentials (Access Key and Secret Key), choose an operation from the left panel. Type the request parameters and choose Run request.
Amazon API Gateway is a fully managed service that makes it easy for developers to create, publish, maintain, monitor, and secure APIs at any scale. APIs act as the "front door" for applications to access data, business logic, or functionality from your backend services.
With Amazon API Gateway, you only pay when your APIs are in use. There are no minimum fees or upfront commitments. For HTTP APIs and REST APIs, you pay only for the API calls you receive and the amount of data transferred out. There are no data transfer out charges for Private APIs.
You get access to a lot of the data used by Amazon including the items for sale, customer reviews, seller reviews, as well as most of the functionality you see on Amazon.com, such as finding items, displaying customer reviews, and product promotions.
If you need product details from the Amazon Product Advertising API, try Vacuum.
If you simply need to construct a link back to Amazon, append the ten-digit ASIN of the product to:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/[ASIN goes here]
