A valid Wishlist item - i.e. "Buy this as a gift for someone" has the URL

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B015EJMV76/ref=wl_it_dp_v_nS_ttl? _encoding=UTF8&colid=13GFCFR2B2IX4&coliid=INLKGRXMA20E4

It's that coliid which makes Amazon say "send this as a gift".

The coliid changes for every item.

id=HIOT27YDKDXW&tld=co.jp gives

Corsair Gaming K95 RGB MX Red Keyboard �ú�{�ê�L�[�{�[�h �Q�[�~���O�L�[�{�[�h KB298 CH-9000082-JP

Should be

Corsair Gaming K95 RGB MX Red Keyboard � 日本語キーボード ゲーミングキーボード KB298 CH-9000082-JP

Suspect problem with multibyte UTF-8 in phpquery.php.

The XML generated is invalid.

Proposal

• Add new ?format=XML to generate valid XML.
• Keep old version for legacy compatibility. Still accessed by ?format=xml

Convert the wishlist into an RSS feed.

id=1HCKFSCVFG2UW&tld=in gives

[new-price] => <span style="text-decoration: inherit; white-space: nowrap;"><span class="currencyINR">  </span><span class="currencyINRFallback" style="display:none">Rs. </span>276.00</span>

So if you need to build a simple text link to a specific item on Amazon.co.uk, here is the link format you need to use:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/ASIN/ref=nosim?tag=YOURASSOCIATEID

e.g. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00U7EXH72/ref=nosim?tag=shkspr-21

According to https://affiliate-program.amazon.co.uk/gp/associates/help/t50

To create an Associates tagged link, simply add your Associates tag after the “=” sign at the end of the URL: http://amzn.com/B00154JDAI/tag=

This doesn't work for the UK. Replacing com with co.uk results in an error.

Ideally the date-added would be a normal timestamp.

At the moment is is Added October 24, 2015 in English, or Hinzugefügt '2. November 2015' in German.

It's trivial to remove "Added" in the English versions - but a bit more work to replace the various foreign words.

The date still needs converting to a timestamp.

Coming through like:

<title> <span class="a-offscreen">£4.49</span><span aria-hidden="true"><span class="a-price-symbol">£</span><span class="a-price-whole">4<span class="a-price-decimal">.</span></span><span class="a-price-fraction">49</span></span></title>

Don't always need hundreds of items returned. Slows things down.

Hi

i am unable to retrieve any wishlist item using the wishlist id

it seems like it is due to a robot check by amazon as per issue raised on justin's github page?

doitlikejustin#28

would adding different ip address to the API that rotates be enough to bypass the robot check?

appreciate any advice!

Thanks!
