Do the Amazon web service APIs support barcode/UPC queries?

I skimmed through their documentation and found it a bit overwhelming at first. 开发者_开发问答I know you can search for items by entering a UPC (the number below a 1D barcode), but I couldn't find a word about it in the API.

What I want to do is perform a product lookup by doing a UPC search after scanning a barcode.

Here is a page from the https://webservices.amazon.com/paapi5/documentation/use-cases/search-with-external-identifiers.html which shows how you can use the ItemLookup method to find a specific product by UPC.

Note that default IdType for the ItemLookup is ASIN, but you can change it to something else like UPC if you need to

Be carefull if you want to use the Amazon web services API on a mobile device !

We've found this in the Amazon.com Product Advertising API License Agreement:

Any Ideas for an alternative ItemLookup method to find a specific product by UPC/Barcode ?

Yes sure, the Amazon web service APIs does support barcode/UPC queries. Any information / documentation are to be found here.

If you want to generate barcodes, maybe this helps?

Cheers, Tim

With IdType request parameters ( see documentation here ) not only for upc, but also support ean and isbn query
