I have recently released a new version of the Amazon Import Plugin For WordPress. This release sees a major re-write of the plugin adding functionality, features for usability and some changes to comply with the Amazon API Terms of use.
The Amazon import plugin started off life as a very simple copy of the datafeed import plugin for WordPress, it allowed you to create a search on amazon and import amazon products that match that search and create WordPress blog posts from them. The plugin had limitations that meant you could only import 500 products from each search and only have one template.
With Version 2.0 of the Amazon Import Plugin for WordPress you can now have many search imports and templates for each search term and the plugin will import all the matching products for your search term no matter how many there are.
The plugin now gives you a progress indicator in the WordPress admin area showing you how the import is going, it will make one request per second for the data required to complete your import, it will also print a time stamp against all prices obtained from the Amazon API, this is to comply with the Amazon API TOS.
This release is a significant step forward for the Amazon import plugin and brings it in line with the datafeed import plugin for WordPress in terms of its functionality.
