New Releases

Whether it's the release of a new book or a new DVD, new releases are always popular with customers. Amazon Associates Web Service enables you to take advantage of that motivator with two response groups, NewReleases and CartNewReleases.

The NewReleases response group returns the ASIN and title of newly released items in a specified browse node. This response group works only in BrowseNodeLookup requests, for example,

http://ecs.amazonaws.com/onca/xml?
Service=AWSECommerceService&
AWSAccessKeyId=[AWS Access Key ID]&
Operation=BrowseNodeLookup&
BrowseNodeId=4229&
ResponseGroup=NewReleases

The response includes the new releases associated with browse node 4229.

<NewReleases>
  <NewRelease>
    <ASIN>0446578622</ASIN>
    <Title>The Notebook Girls</Title>
  </NewRelease>
</NewReleases>

To find the browse node ID of an item, use the BrowseNodes response group.
