The "Pound a Day Movie Project" has been going for 353 days so.
I figured doing it for a year would be a nice round period of time.
Unfortunately with barely a couple of weeks left, Amazon have changed their
API in a tiny way that will nerf the project.
The change is that Amazon now limit their API searches to just 100
products. Which is fair enough - we don't want to overload them with
requests etc... The problem for me, though, is that typically when I search
for Blu-ray's I get around 200+ items. And they're sorted by price. But
the API includes market place prices in that sorting, so the first 100 items
are mostly market place items. Which aren't eligible for free shipping.
Bah. I'm going to have to scrutinise their docs to see if I can find a
way to filter out market place stuff or sort by actual price not the
stupidly low market place prices or something. I don't hold out much
hope.
