How to add Amazon Images using the API ( No Paid Tools Needed )

From December 2023 the Amazon affiliate program site stripe will no longer be available.
Without paying for a tool like Lasso ( Which I use ) you can still use images from Amazon by using their API.
In this tutorial, I'll show you how to do that step-by-step
You can also use a theme like Popcorntheme for WordPress to get better product boxes that convert better.
🔥 Get 15% off this theme by using the code CARL15 at the checkout

Or
Use a tool like Lasso like I do which pulls the image automatically using the API
Here is my affiliate link : getlasso.co?ref=mtzjzgy

    Your screen shows 00:23 "We've updated the Product Advertising API policy to reduce usage limits for accounts which are not driving revenue..." Does this mean we only get limited usage of the API or that it throttles or charges us if we use this and are not bringing in enough revenue?

    You can't really unless you just copy and paste the image and dont make it clickable. But i still think that breaks TOC. Just do all you can to get three sales. Send emails out, be active in facebook groups. push one of your sales post to people. Whatever it takes to get three sales

    WooZone is bloated and slows your website because of constant API calls and redirects. If you do a few products, it may be OK, but it takes up a lot of resources if you're doing hundreds of products. And the development team seems to have stopped working on it. I'd stay away, just my opinion.

    Hi hear you there, but, (and I could be mistaken), if you take a look at the image URL of a given product and compare it to the code you generate using the API, it seems like its the same link, just with additional html wrapped around it. the HTML is certainly not necessary, and there's no way for them to track the use of the API generated snippet since there's no javascript. Again, I may be mistaken, but yeah.@@CarlBroadbent

Maybe they want to kill the affiliate program or be able to turn it off/on whenever they like? Or is there some kind of spamming going on and they want to tighten the ship? And the process seems a lot more complicated now.

    @@CarlBroadbent It's definitely crazy. It's getting harder and harder to figure out. It would be interesting to know what percentage of all of their sales are generated by affiliate sales. I wonder if it's possible that it's so small that they are fazing it out. It stinks for folks getting into the game late. And if companies start cutting back on advertising...scary times ahead.
