Long story short

It all started as a pet project, I know you understand me.

But rapidly it became more like a developer need: to have something that works as you want it to, something you could share with other developers and be proud of it because, damn, you’ve just became part of an amazing ecosystem called Open Source!

I was finding myself in the need of using the plain JS SDK of Amazon’s Product Advertising API, link here, but it was barely usable, with a lot of conventions, zero explicitness and a whole set of unreadable code.

Maybe it’s just me but in the past year I’ve started to appreciate when you jump into a project and you can understand easily how things get passed around. I needed Typescript.

There was little to no libraries as I expect them to be and finally I came to one conclusion: I needed to do it myself.

And I did it! 👇⭐️

Pigotz / paapi5-typescript-sdk

TypeScript SDK for Product Advertising API 5.0

paapi5-typescript-sdk

Unofficial TypeScript SDK for Product Advertising API 5.0

Installation

In order to install this SDK, you just have to run you well-known npm or yarn scripts:

npm i -S paapi5-typescript-sdk

yarn add paapi5-typescript-sdk

And there you go! Enjoy 😎

API

Everything is exported from the SDK: requests' classes, models, utility types, helper and so on..

If you want to import everything

import * as SDK from 'paapi5-typescript-sdk';

And use what you need later

const request = new SDK.SearchItemsRequest(/* ... */);

You can refer to the Amazon Product Advertising API 5.0 for further details about every request

Auth

In order to validate all the requests against the APIs, I've implemented almost from scratch the AWS V4 signing process, creating the SignHelper class.
