Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.When displaying a book on the amazon.com site an ASIN number is listed which can successfully be used in the Test tab.
But when displaying book information on Amazon UK website no ASIN number is displayed, only ISBN numbers which do not work with the test tab (despite what the help says). Any advice on how to get ASIN numbers from Amazon UK books? (obviously you could see whether the same book exists on .com, but other than that?)--

eaton commentedHmm, that's an excellent point. ISBNs in the US version of the Amazon store are synonymous with ASINs in most cases. I'm not sure there's any good way to correct this. One of the reasons it's important to manage data from the different locales separately is that the ASIN for a product in the UK store is not ncessarily the same as the ASIN for the same product in the US store.
I can look into the possibility of doing searches by ISBN explicitly... Hmmm.

rfayAmazon typically uses the 10-digit ISBN for the ASIN on books.
On other items they show the ASIN in the product details area.
So in the URL http://www.amazon.co.uk/Using-Drupal-Angela-Byron/dp/0596515804/ref=sr_1...
I believe they're using the 10-digit ISBN for the ASIN: 0596515804. And you can find it in the same place in each URL, if I'm not mistaken.
