How to use Python Amazon Simple Product API to get price of a product

amazon-product-api, amazon-web-services, python

Solution

It was happening because the product I mentioned in the example was no longer available hence it was showing price as `None`

 >>> from amazon.api import AmazonAPI
 >>> amazon = AmazonAPI(AMAZON_ACCESS_KEY, AMAZON_SECRET_KEY, AMAZON_ASSOC_TAG)
 >>> product = amazon.lookup(ItemId='B00EOE0WKQ')
 >>> product.title
 'Amazon Fire Phone, 32GB (AT&T)'
 >>> product.price_and_currency
 (199.0, 'USD')
 >>> product.ean
 '0848719035209'
 >>> product.large_image_url
 'http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51BrZzpkWrL.jpg'

Problem

I can't seem to get this library working. I got my access key, secret and associate tag. And I am following exact same thing as explained in the `README`, however I am getting `(None, None)` instead of price and currency. I don't understand what I am doing wrong. Is it because I signed up on amazon.in? ``` >>> from amazon.api import AmazonAPI >>> amazon = AmazonAPI(AMAZON_ACCESS_KEY, AMAZON_SECRET_KEY, AMAZON_ASSOC_TAG) >>> product = amazon.lookup(ItemId='B0051QVF7A') >>> product.title 'Kindle, Wi-Fi, 6" E Ink Display - for international shipment' >>> product.price_and_currency (None, None) ```
