Code Example (Python)
Here's a basic Python example of using the Amazon Product Lookup endpoint to check a product title for prohibited keywords:
import requests
def check_product_title(asin, marketplace_id, api_key):
url = f"https://sellermagnet-api.com/amazon-product-lookup?asin={asin}&marketplaceId={marketplace_id}&api_key={api_key}"
response = requests.get(url)
data = response.json()
if data['success']:
title = data['data']['productInfo']['title']
prohibited_keywords = ['prohibited', 'restricted', 'illegal']
for keyword in prohibited_keywords:
if keyword in title.lower():
print(f"Potential compliance violation: Prohibited keyword '{keyword}' found in product title.")
return
print("Product title appears to be compliant.")
else:
print("Error retrieving product information.")
# Replace with your actual values
asin = 'B08N5WRWNW'
marketplace_id = 'A1PA6795UKMFR9'
api_key = 'YOUR_API_KEY'
check_product_title(asin, marketplace_id, api_key)
