Yesterday saw the release of version 0.3 of the APaPi library. This PHP Wrapper of the Amazon Product Advertising API now supports the BrowseNodeLookup operation. In addition convenience methods have been implemented that allow for users to quickly perform product searches without having to set all required parameters.

For an example, if you wanted to lookup a book based on it’s ISBN would require a single line of code after configuring the library.

$result = $api->lookupByISBN( '0765326353' );

Searches can be performed similarity by calling searchBooks, searchDVD, and other category searches. In addition the library now supports JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format by providing the toJSON method on all objects. The full list of changes can be found on the product changelog.
