Hello, aksnik.

The access key is used to generate the unique Amazon Product Advertising API URL per the API’s documentation. The URL is in turn used as the SRC parameter of an iframe to display reviews. Therefore, the plugin does not send the actual key anywhere.

I’m not sure I understand your second question. The reviews will display wherever you can execute the plugin’s shortcode.

Hope that helps.

Hi, maggieduff.

When you say you want to get the ISBN from a product field, do you mean a product field inside WordPress or a product field from the Goodreads API? A link to the documentation you mentioned might be helpful. Thanks for any clarification, and thanks for using GoodReviews.

James

Hi, Soprano.

Thanks for the question. Importing the reviews instead of displaying them directly via Goodreads in the iframe they API provides would be a violation of their terms of service, so this feature cannot be implemented in GoodReviews.

Thanks again. Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

James

I’ll do some testing and see if it’s something I can include in the next revision.

The problem, I think, is that the Product Advertising API requires a signed call, which relies not only on the keys but also on the associate ID tag that is associated with those keys (which is why those elements are configured on the Settings page instead of within the shortcode). I’m not sure that a single set of root API keys can be associated with tags from multiple regions.

Hi, WPGUS.

At present that is not a shortcode option. It wouldn’t be difficult to add, but I’m not sure what purpose it serves when the associate ID is already specified in the settings and tied to the Product Advertising API there.

Let me know if I’m overlooking a use case. And thanks for using ScrapeAZon!

James

It’s wherever you signed up for the Product Advertising API. If you did it through your UK affiliate account (in the affiliate portal), you should be good to go. If you did it through a link to the US site, you might not have an associate ID that is connected to your Product Advertising API account.

If you know you signed up for an associate ID and the product advertising API from the same region, I’d recommend reaching out to Amazon support to ensure the two are connected. Your affiliate ID must be associated with the same product advertising API account you’re using to make queries.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Hi, Wajiha.

The 400 Bad Request error typically indicates that something about your configuration is not correct. This can happen if you signed up for your associate/AWS credentials on the US site instead of the UK site, for example. It can also happen if you are using IAM credentials instead of the root credentials for the associated AWS account.

Hope that helps. Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

James

Hello, Wajiha.

The ScrapeAZon iframe on the page you reference is showing a blank SRC field. This indicates that the plugin was not able to retrieve the reviews from Amazon. Do you see reviews for anything when you visit the “Test” tab on the ScrapeAZon settings page? If so, can you post the shortcode you are using so that I can test it on my end?

Thanks for using ScrapeAZon!

James

Hello.

The 400 Bad Request error typically indicates one of the following:

* incorrect API credentials
* incorrect Associate ID in use with API credentials
* incorrect country selected based on where you established credentials

As far as I know, nothing has changed regarding the API that would affect ScrapeAZon.

Thanks and let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Hi, soundreality.

Thanks for using ScrapeAZon! Unfortunately, I know of no way to automatically adjust the iframe to the size of the content. It’s something I’ve researched in the past, but for which I have never found a satisfactory solution. If there’s a way to do it, it would be a great feature for a future version.

Thanks again and let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Hi, stonylake.

There’s no known issue with ScrapeAZon that would cause this. My suggestion would be to ensure that there are no other plugins or style changes that might conflict with ScrapeAZon (anything that might set an iframe style to display:none, for example). You might also want to verify that your Amazon associate account is still active.

Thanks for using ScrapeAZon and let me know if I can be of further assistance.

James

Hi, Sean.

There’s nothing you can do about Amazon’s terms in this situation. The point of the affiliates program is to generate sales on Amazon that the associate then gets credit for. These sales are generated by ads or by click-throughs on Buy buttons that include links with your associate ID as generated in your Amazon associates account. It is the role of this plugin to aid that effort by using the Amazon Advertising API to display product reviews.

Hope that helps.

James

Hi, Sean.

The iframe on your page has nothing in the SRC field, which might mean either that the plugin is not correctly configured or that there’s an error in the shortcode you’re using. The missing Amazon API SRC url is the reason you aren’t seeing reviews. Can you post the shortcode you’re using for that page?

Thanks! And thanks for trying ScrapeAZon.

James

Hi, Jessica

You can alter the height of the iframe by issuing the shortcode with the height parameter. The value can be in either pixels or percent. For example:

[scrapeazon asin='xxxxxxxxxx' height='500px']

Thanks for using ScrapeAZon and let me know if I can be of further assistance.
