To find browse node IDs, the best way is to visit the "browse" area of the various product lines at Amazon.com. When you find a subject area that you would like to generate XML for, look at the web page URL. The browse ID should appear after the string "/tg/browse/-/". Here are some examples of URLs that contain browse IDs:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/browse/-/30 (In this example, the browse ID = 30)
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/browse/-/467970 (In this example, the browse ID = 467970)
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/browse/-/602314 (In this example, the browse ID = 60231
Please be aware that some nodes cannot be used with a BrowseNodeSearch. (The vast majority of them can, but you may run across a few that simply will not work). It is also important to point out that from time to time, some browse nodes are deprecated or are changed without notice.
The catalog to search in is specified in the mode parameter, typical values are books, music, classical or electronics.
