The ItemAttributes response group returns a potentially large number of attributes that describe an item. For example, an item in the Camera and Photo search index might return the attributes, height, width, weight, title, UPC, price, manufacture, zoom ratio, number of megapixels, and carrying case.
All search indices can return all item attributes. The number of item attributes returned, however, varies by ASIN. Typically, ASINs within the same search index return the same item attributes. For example, you would expect the item attributes returned for an item in the "Books" search index to be different from those returned for an item in the "Camera and Photo" search index. But all items within a single search index do not necessarily return the same attributes. For that reason, it is impossible to predict exactly which item attributes will be returned in a response.
