BrowseNodeInfo Response Group

Description

All products listed on Amazon's websites have been classified using a number of schemes such as product type (such as books, music, tools, apparel), brand, subject, genre, style, etc. This classification system is called browse. Each browse area (a unique classification area called a node) has been assigned an integer called a browse node ID.

The BrowseNodeInfo response group provides information about a browse node in the browse area.

Although the BrowseNodeInfo response group is similar to the BrowseNodes response group, the BrowseNodeInfo response group is intended for the BrowseNodeLookup operation. The BrowseNodes response group is intended for the ItemLookup and similar operations.
