ProductAdvertisingAPI 5.0 Python SDK

Product Advertising API 5.0 SDK for Python (v1)

About This Package

This repository contains the official Product Advertising API 5.0 Python SDK called paapi5-python-sdk that allows you to access the Product Advertising API.

The code in this package was written entirely by Amazon.com. Based on the original documentation, it appears that Amazon originally intended to make this package available via pip; however, it appears that either (a) that never happened or (b) they removed it. We created this package to correct that.

The only changes we made to Amazon's original package were:

1. Modifying this README file to reflect the correct pip package information
2. Modifying the setup.py file

Documentation and Original SDK
