Release of source code for my ASIN to EAN, and EAN to ASIN converter!

Following this post, you were many to ask me for the source code of my ASIN to EAN and EAN to ASIN converter, I have decided to make it publicly available. I only dare ask you to do the same if you improve it or add new functionalities, such as a mass conversion (which is still on my roadmap, but if you do it before I’ll be glad not having to do it).

There are basically 4 files that are doing the job: 1 for the processing (+1 to send the requests), 1 for the UI structure, and 1 for CSS styles.

1. processing.php. There are two functions that make REST requests to Amazon’s servers. For this you’ll need to put your own KeyID (or subscription ID) and Secret Access Key at the beginning of this file.

<?php
include("aws_signed_request.php");
/* CUSTOM VARIABLES */
define('AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID','0KWABHXFYEKBE4692D02'); // Put your own KeyID (or Subscription ID) instead of "MyKeyID". You need an Amazon developer account for that.
define('AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY','YourSecretKeyHere');
/* END CUSTOM VARIABLES */

$tag_fr = "fondation-21";
$tag_uk = "key0c-21";
$tag_de = "fondation01-21";
$tag_it = "key21-21";
$tag_es = "key06-21";
$tag_com = "key0c-20";

extract($_POST);
$items = explode(";",$ItemId);
if (count((array) $items) > 1) {
	echo "<em>Batch request</em><br />";
}
foreach ((array) $items as $key => $item) {
	if (count((array) $items) > 1) echo $item . "\t";
	switch($locale) {
		case 'fr':
			$assoc_tag = $tag_fr;

	}
	switch ($mode) {

			break;
		case "EAN2ASIN":
			EANItemLookup($item, $locale, $SearchIndex, $assoc_tag);

	}
	if ($key < count((array) $items)-1) {
		echo "\n<br />";
	}
	ob_flush();
	flush();
}

function ASINItemLookup($ItemId, $locale, $SearchIndex, $assoc_tag){
	$parsed_xml = aws_signed_request($locale, array("AssociateTag"=>$assoc_tag, "Operation"=>"ItemLookup", "ItemId"=>$ItemId, "IdType"=>"ASIN", "ResponseGroup"=>"ItemAttributes"), AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, $assoc_tag);

			echo "<b>Error code</b>: ".$parsed_xml->Items->Request->Errors->Error->Code."<br />";
			echo "<b>Description</b>: ".$parsed_xml->Items->Request->Errors->Error->Message;
		}
		else {
			print($parsed_xml->Items->Item->ItemAttributes->EAN);
		}
	}
}

function EANItemLookup($ItemId, $locale, $SearchIndex, $assoc_tag){
	$parsed_xml = aws_signed_request($locale, array("AssociateTag"=>$assoc_tag,"Operation"=>"ItemLookup","ItemId"=>$ItemId,"IdType"=>"EAN","ResponseGroup"=>"ItemAttributes","SearchIndex"=>$SearchIndex), AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, $assoc_tag);
	if ($parsed_xml === False)
	{

			echo "<b>Description</b>: ".$parsed_xml->Items->Request->Errors->Error->Message;
		}
		else {
			print($parsed_xml->Items->Item->ASIN);
		}
	}
}

    Greetings,

    Thanks for releasing this code! I have to convert a large number of ASIN as Amazon canceled my account (since the account is based in Colorado).
