Who has experience with eBay/Amazon APIs?

Hey fellow devs, I'm looking for some help with properly using eBay and Amazon Shopping APIs. I basically want to search for products in my own web app and get the data with my affiliate links.

For both eBay and Amazon I have been unable to successfully test it out with their Node.js packages. For Amazon I get unauthorized errors even though I followed their docs. For eBay I get these CORS errors.

The one thing I've been able to do is use cors-proxy Heroku app to get some eBay API responses using regular node fetch calls in my React app. So that's technically working quite well, but the docs are so confusing I feel like I'm not getting the right results even though I'm entering the correct filters as params.

If anyone has experience with these, I would greatly appreciate some guidance! Thanks a bunch =]

    I'm not sure if you still need this, almost 4 years later - but for Amazon - I've used ASIN Data API successfully in the past.

    If you're also trying to pull user shopping history on Amazon, you should try out Gandalf [Gandalf dot network]. Full disclosure - I founded Gandalf.

    PS: I'm not allowed to post links yet, hence the complete lack of them.
