New Releases

Whether it's the release of a new book or a new DVD, new releases are always popular with customers. Product Advertising API 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, as shown.
