Amazon Training Update
In my previous post https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/phil1944/blog/has-amazon-really-done-this, I said that I would create training for Amazon's new way of obtaining images and other information for links to affiliate products.
Well, I'm part way through creating the training video, but have run into a problem.
Whenever I enter my credentials and search parameters into a PA-API call, instead of producing the searched-for item (such as a large image) and the corresponding code, I get a message "Error: Too Many Requests", even though I've only made one.

I raised a support ticket with Amazon and around 12 hours later their emailed response was to tell me to read the documentation.
So I repeated the call, this time using the exact example shown in the documentation and, of course, got exactly the same result.
But this time, I took screenshots to illustrate the process.
Raised another support ticket but discovered there was no facility to attach screenshots.
So in addition to that support ticket, I've replied to their support email with the screenshots embedded.
No response yet.
So this is really just to let you know I'm persevering.
I WILL get this sorted out, complete the video training and let you all know when it's available.
