If you run an ecommerce site, and need to check up on the prices of things over on Amazon (just to compare, of course...), there's a tool out there that just might help making integration with your site as easy as pie. Thanks to this new article from DevArticles, you too can grab the Amazon content and use mold it to your needs.

In Hunting the Web Services at Amazon, the author shows you how to take a standard PHP class (the NuSOAP class), and use it to create an interface between your site and the Amazon web services that will let you search for anything and everything through their API.

Things like these web services are a wonderful idea, but companies need to be careful how much information they share. Amazon does just about everything except let you order through the API, but loads of people still use it, because they have something everyone wants: all the products you can imagine, right at your fingertips.
