Project Description
Amazon Book Linker is a Windows Live Writer plugin which makes use of Amazon's Product Advertising API to lookup a book's information and insert it within the content of your blog post.
The rendering of the information can be customized via HTML templates by using a multitude of available tokens to show the book's information you want.
Currently supported tokens are:
- {bookASIN} is used as a placeholder for the book's ASIN
- {bookAuthor} is used as a placeholder for the book's author's name
- {bookDetailsUrl} is used as a placeholder for the book's details URL
- {bookImageUrl} is used as a placeholder for the image URL (auto size)
- {bookISBN10} is used as a placeholder for the ISBN 10 digits
- {bookISBN13} is used as a placeholder for the ISBN 13 digits
- {bookNumberOfPages} is used as a placeholder for the number of pages
- {bookPublicationDate} is used as a placeholder for the publication date
- {bookPublisher} is used as a placeholder for the publisher name
- {bookPrice} is used as a placeholder for the book's price (based on locale)
- {bookRating} is used as a placeholder for the book's rating
- {bookTitle} is used as a placeholder for the book's title
- {bookDescription} is used as a placeholder for the book's description
The plugin also supports a few other features:
- It allows you to build a library of templates which for which you can use for specific purposes. You can imagine a community of people building and sharing templates with everyone. Hopefully this might bring peace in certain regions of the world.
- It allows to include your own Amazon Tag so that you make a commission of sales through your links.
- It gives us an option to select one of the supported Amazon regions for your specific accounts (i.e., Japan, Canada, United States, etc.)
