Filtering or determining warehouse deals via Amazon Product Advertising API?

Question

I have a project I'm working on that involves working with warehouse deals on Amazon. I've been looking and trying to find a way to pull only warehouse deals using the Product Advertising API. So, question #1 is, is there a way of achieving this?

If there is not a way, then question #2 is, if I pull a list of items, is there a way of determining whether any one of those items is a warehouse deal or not?

Essentially, I need a way to find warehouse deals using the API. Does anyone have any ideas I could try out?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

In some regions Warehouse Deals are simply BrowseNodes. This is the case in DE. In UK and US it seems to be different. If your region works like DE:

1: You could include the Warehouse Deal BrowseNode in your search request. This does not work with searches in the All and Blended search indexes.

2: You can use the BrowseNodes response group in your search or ItemLookup calls to find out what BrowseNode an item belongs to. This gives you the whole ancestry of the BrowseNode. You just have to follow it up and check it against a known Warehouse Deals BrowseNodeId.
