Hi,
I would like adding to my application the function of downloading covers of video games instead music from amazon.com. I have searched amarok source code and found these lines:

Code: Select all
...
// Static license Key. Thanks hydrogen ;-)
const QString LICENSE( "11ZKJS8X1ETSTJ6MT802" );
...
QString url;
url = "http://ecs.amazonaws." + tld
           + "/onca/xml?Service=AWSECommerceService&Version=2007-10-29&Operation=ItemSearch&AssociateTag=webservices-20&AWSAccessKeyId=" + LICENSE
           + "&Keywords=" + QUrl::toPercentEncoding( query, "/" )
           + "&SearchIndex=Music&ResponseGroup=Small,Images";
...


Now I have some questions?
1) Is the service free?
2) What is the LICENSE string? I have to be registered to amazon.com to get one or can I use that in the code?

Thanks,
Giuseppe

Hi,
first of all thanks for your answer and sorry if I'm late. I have visited your link but I can't find the right informations for my needs. However, if the service is free I can use the code above without modification, can't I?

Thanks
