I've been using the Amazon Product API in Python via this client.
However, I want to get the "landing price" for a given product - the price that Amazon displays prominently, the most competitive price when taking into account both the base price and delivery price. For example if a product has 2 offers such as $1 + $5 delivery vs $3 Free delivery, the landing price would be the $3 and be shown prominently by Amazon as it's the most competitive.
If I use the OfferSummary ResponseGroup of the Amazon Product API, doing response = amazon.lookup(ItemId=asin, ResponseGroup='OfferSummary')
, then I get a response like
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Item xmlns="http://webservices.amazon.com/AWSECommerceService/2013-08-01">
<ASIN>B072KHRPLF</ASIN>
<ParentASIN>B07CJ6DNF4</ParentASIN>
<OfferSummary>
<LowestNewPrice>
<Amount>7723</Amount>
<CurrencyCode>GBP</CurrencyCode>
<FormattedPrice>£77.23</FormattedPrice>
</LowestNewPrice>
<TotalNew>2</TotalNew>
<TotalUsed>0</TotalUsed>
<TotalCollectible>0</TotalCollectible>
<TotalRefurbished>0</TotalRefurbished>
</OfferSummary>
</Item>
for this product, which has a landing price of £92.08 Free delivery and another offer price of £77.23 + £17.50 delivery (£94.73 in total, and hence not the most competitive and not the landing price, despite having the lowest base price)
As far as I can tell I'd need to use the Amazon MWS API and call the GetCompetitivePricingForASIN
endpoint perhaps, but I believe this needs a $40/month seller account.
Is there any other way to get the landing price? or anyway to do it via the Product API?
