The Zend Framework makes the item search capabilities quite easy. You just need a web service key to be able to search against Amazon's massive item database. The real trick in all of this is figuring out how to tune your searches against Amazon as well as caching the results. Once you get that working, it's quite smooth sailing.

The only problem i see against this really isn't an issue of the Zend Framework, but a problem with Amazon's policy of only allowing a single query per IP address per second. While I understand the reason, I hope one day that they'll eventually lower this requirement. At least the number of queries is no longer monitored, unlike other web services.]]> Sat, 05 Apr 2008 13:26:05 -0600 http://www.keithwatanabe.net/blogs/2008/4/5/31948c386812b988bc4ac7302a341961.html
