How to get Amazon prices from API?

I would like to build an app that shows me the price history of products and notifies me when the price reaches a certain limit.

I know that some of these things already exist, but I'm also interested in learning how to build them and trying out some technologies.

This is my question:

how do I get access to the Amazon Product API without having a website?

Right now, there are two Amazon APIs:

  • The older one is called Amazon MWS. You find its documentation here.
  • The newer one is called SP-API (abbreviation for Selling Partner API). This is their main page.

The access to both is only possible after registering as a professional seller (sic!), which costs a monthly fee (about USD 40). After registering as a seller, you then have to additionally register as a developer within your seller account.

If you do not want to pay monthly fees or register, you could also try webscraping their website. Here I do not now, what their policy is.
