Got the same issue. Using Python 2.7.9 on ubuntu 14.04

Turns out, it works for the DE and CN marketplaces/endpoints. I tried CA, CN, DE, ES, FR, IN, IT, JP, UK, and US, none of them worked except DE and CN. Lucky for me, I happen to need DE but this strikes me as super weird. Might this have something to do with the change of version-reference a few days ago? The constructed URL for the DE-Endpoint is (apart from the TLD) identical btw.

[MoorsTech]

Ah, fack, stupid... Didn't realize I need to specifically have access to other marketplaces. The only bug here is that this type of error should be handled properly/transparently.

[dlo]

Aha! So that's the issue. We need a better error message. If you write it up I'll merge immediately. Thanks.

[MoorsTech]

Prolly not gonna get around to it before the weekend, but will do.

@dlo and @MoorsTech I can confirm that is related to https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=238652&tstart=0 ?

Since Dec 17 I'm getting Error 400. I'm using the exact some code for months. Is anyone else having the same issue? I've tried to change my keys and nothing worked yet..

---------- UPDATE ----------

Problem fixed. It was the system clock that was wrong. Now everything is running fine again.

[transfluxus]

I'm trying all kinds of regions and still get a 400 only. Does it matter where i registered my affiliate-program... on .com not .de or anything? I'm in germany tho...

[GabrielRF]

@transfluxus I suggest you to try this first: http://webservices.amazon.com/scratchpad/index.html There you will be able to know if the problem is on your code/server or on Amazon configuration.

I have run into a strange issue with 400 errors. I run the same script from a mac and one from a Raspberry Pi. For some reason the raspberry pi will give HTTPError 400: bad request, whereas the mac one will run perfectly fine. I also used scratchpad to check the request, it worked fine there. File "SimpleTest.py", line 37, in <module> response = amazon.ItemLookup(ItemId='0521663962', ResponseGroup="Large") File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bottlenose/api.py", line 265, in __call__ {'api_url': api_url, 'cache_url': cache_url}) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bottlenose/api.py", line 226, in _call_api return urllib2.urlopen(api_request, timeout=self.Timeout) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 154, in urlopen return opener.open(url, data, timeout) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 437, in open response = meth(req, response) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 550, in http_response 'http', request, response, code, msg, hdrs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 475, in error return self._call_chain(*args) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 409, in _call_chain result = func(*args) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 558, in http_error_default raise HTTPError(req.get_full_url(), code, msg, hdrs, fp) urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 400: Bad Request

The Pi used to work fine, but for the past month it hasn't.

EDIT: Nevermind. Check your time stamps people. Somehow my rasp-pi had the wrong time.
