Add a single product via ASIN

[zird0t]

HI! Thanks for what you did. I was wondering: is it possible to completely exclude category searches, but add products directly via ASIN? I have readers who are only interested in a very narrow niche of products. Personally, I would add the ASIN list once a week, but there should be a method to schedule the posts.

Hi, No at the moment only category searching is supported. However, it is possible to modify the bot so that it searches for asin from a predefined list. It shouldn't be too complicated. You could use a function like this to send the request for specific asins:

def search_items_by_asin(access_key, secret_key, partner_tag, host, region, asin):

    item_property_dict = {}
    default_api = DefaultApi(access_key=access_key, secret_key=secret_key, host=host, region=region)
    item_ids = asin

    get_items_resource = [
