PHP
Description:



HostRocket.Com - 1000MB - $4.99



I need a PHP program that quickly grabs 100.000+ products from Amazon using the
Amazon Web Services (AWS) API.
This information will then be stored in a MySQL database on a Linux platform.
Here is a list of useful URLs:
AWS API:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html/ref=sws_aws_/002-8182866-8964820?node=34353
61
BrowseNodes.com: http://www.browsenodes.com/
PHP Curl Functions: http://us2.php.net/curl
This program should import products from Amazon.com and store the product
information in a MySQL database. The program should import product information
as quickly as possible, with a minimum of 1000 products imported per hour. The
program should also avoid duplicating product information in the database, even
if run multiple times.
The program should probably generate this information using the Amazon.com
browse node information at http://www.browsenodes.com - although I am not set on
this if you have a better solution. I will not be providing a list of ISBN
numbers or UPC codes to start from. I will provide a list of popular keyword
searches to use, but your database should not be based entirely on this list.
Using Amazon.com's browse nodes will enable you to grab products from
Amazon.com's "New Releases" and "Top Sellers" categories. Your program should
make sure to get both Amazon's most popular products and products from our list
of popular keyword searches.
For each product, you will need to assign a unique product id. You will also
need to store the following information in the database:
product name
description
image url
product category
price
brand (brand/manufacturer)
upc
product_type (book/music/video/other)
the editorial review for each product (when it exists)
the keywords returned by Amazon.com
additional info needed for books/music/video:
books: isbn, format(paperback/hardcover/audiobook/ebook), author, publisher
music: artist,format(cd/tape,vinyl/mp3/itunes/ogg/wma),release_date, track
titles for each cd
video: format(dvd/vhs),director,release_date,starring,rating(G/PG/PG-13/R/NR)
The stuff we don't want to store is:
- accessories
- shopping cart info
- customer info
- customer reviews
- transaction details
You will be responsible for providing a MySQL database schema, as well as
program files needed to populate the database.
Here is a list of useful URLs:
AWS API:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html/ref=sws_aws_/002-8182866-8964820?node=34353

BrowseNodes.com: http://www.browsenodes.com/
PHP Curl Functions: http://us2.php.net/curl
