Net::Amazon::Request - Baseclass for requests to Amazon's web service
my $req = Net::Amazon::Request::XXX->new( [ type => 'heavy', ] [ page => $start_page, ] [ mode => $mode, ] [ offer => 'All', ] [ sort => $sort_type, ] );
Don't use this class directly, use derived classes (like Net::Amazon::Request::ASIN
, Net::Amazon::Request::Wishlist
etc.) instead to specify the type of request and its parameters.
However, there's a bunch of parameters to the constructor that all request types have in common, here they are:
Defaults to heavy
, but can be set to lite
if no reviews etc. on a product are wanted. Some fields (e.g. isbn
) are not going to be available in lite
mode, though.
Defaults to books
, but can be set to other catalog values.
Defaults to 1
, but can be set to a different number to start with a different result page. Used in conjunction with the max_pages
parameter of the Net::Amazon
object. page
is the offset, max_pages
is the maximum number of pages pulled in starting at page
.
Defaults to +salesrank
, but search results can be sorted in various ways, depending on the type of product returned by the search. Search results may be sorted by the following criteria:
Consult Net::Amazon::Request::Sort for details.
To receive values for the fields CollectibleCount
, NumberOfOfferings
, UsedCount
, specify offer => "All"
.
