Example: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/1935703013/ref=olp_f_freeShipping?ie=UTF8&f_new=true

Best price is $7.45 including delivery.

amazon-product-api is return "Amount": [ "580" e.g $5.80 which then has $4 shipping when you goto the url.

client.itemLookup({
  idType: 'ISBN',
  itemId: '1935703013',
  condition: 'New',
  responseGroup: 'OfferFull'

This is weird, when I search the product by ISBN on amazon.com I got this result: screen shot 2016-03-22 at 08 29 38

But when I clicked on the result, I got a different offers: screen shot 2016-03-22 at 08 29 57

I think that Amazon display the Prime over the New offer in the search results, but display the real lowest New price on the product page.

Yes. But do you know how to get this price. I just want the total cheapest price (including postage)

The price will not include the shipping rates, probably because it depends on where you are 🌎. You can find information about the shipping rates in the here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=468520
