Purchase on Amazon via API

Is anyone knows if there is some way to purchase a product on Amazon via the API?

Currently I'm buying several products on daily base, where each product can be delivered to differnet addresses, and each time I have to go over the checkout phase on Amazon (many clicks).

According to my searches (for example Programmatically make Amazon purchase?) it seems that there is no way to purchase a product via the API and I understand the reasons for that. However, I wonder if there is some other way to automate the process of ordering multiple products on Amazon.

Any ideas?

Another way at it would be to automate the browser with Selenium. Of course this would require updating the code every time the Amazon website changed.
