Product Advertising API
In our service, we use programmatic access to Amazon’s product database. But each call to this database has to be personalized. That's why you need to join the Amazon Product Advertising API to obtain your personal access keys.
Go to your Amazon associates account and in the main menu choose Tools > Product Advertising API
On the next screen press Join.You will receive a pair of an Access Key and a Secret Key. These two keys work only together and can't be used separately.
Note: Your Secret Key is only visible immediately after creating a new Access Key pair. For security purposes, it cannot be retrieved once you leave the page. Please ensure you securely save both your Access Key and the corresponding Secret Key right away. If you lose or forget either key, you will need to generate a brand-new pair.
You will use these keys along with your Amazon associates ID (Store ID) in the Amazon Feeds generator.
