# Amazon Product

Amazon Product is a [Nokogiri][1]-backed Ruby wrapper to the [Amazon
Product Advertising API] [2].

## Installation

Add to your Gemfile.

    gem 'amazon_product'

## Usage

Set up a request.

    require "amazon_product"

    req = AmazonProduct["us"]

    req.configure do |c|
      c.key    = AMAZON_KEY
      c.secret = AMAZON_SECRET
      c.tag    = AMAZON_ASSOCIATE_TAG
    end

Look up a product.

    req << { :operation' => 'ItemLookup',
             :item_id'   => '0679753354' }
    resp = request.get

[Or use a shorthand] [3].

    resp = req.find('0679753354')

Consume the entire response.

    resp.to_hash

Quickly drop down to a particular node.

    resp['Item']

[Please see the project page] [4] for further detail.

## Adapters

Amazon Product defaults to the Net::HTTP library but can be configured
to use Curb or EM-HTTP-Request.

## Branding is a delicate art

Amazon Product descends from [Sucker][5]. While I still like the vacuum
metaphor, the name felt tiring after a while.
