ItemAttributes Response Group

The ItemAttributes response group provides information about each item in the response that is unique to the item's product category (Books, DVD, Electronics, Apparel, etc.)

For example, if an item is in the Computer product category, Amazon Web Services (AWS) will return BatteryType, CaseType, CdRwDescription, etc. (if these values are available for the item). If a response contains products that span product categories, this response group will return a different set of elements for each product in the response.
