Doesn't work since it doesn't use Amazon API #1

You are right, it just scrapes the Amazon website (no API access). It will not work for mass operation but should work for a few infrequent product calls (at least it did a year ago as I wrote the code).

Did you try it again? I did 1 search and got that. I wrote one that uses API if you're interested.

I must admit that I haven't used it for over a year now. If you have a version that uses the Amazon API feel free to leave a link here. Maybe it's also useful for other people stumbling upon here.
