Finding Customer Information

Topics

  • CustomerContentSearch
  • CustomerContentLookup

Amazon's customers can enter a great deal of information into the Amazon community, such as reviews of items, and lists of items they'd like as presents. Product Advertising API does not provide operations that enable customers to input this information. Product Advertising API does, however, provide two operations that enable you to retrieve this information.

Getting customer information

1 Use CustomerContentSearch to determine a customer ID.
2 Use CustomerContentLookup to return customer information.
