NAME

Net::Amazon::Request - Baseclass for requests to Amazon's web service

SYNOPSIS

    my $req = Net::Amazon::Request::XXX->new(
                     [ type => 'lite', ]
                     [ page => $start_page, ]
                     [ mode => $mode, ]
    );

DESCRIPTION

Don't use this class directly, use derived classes (like Net::Amazon::Request::ASIN, Net::Amazon::Request::Wishlist etc.) instead to specify the type of request and its parameters.

However, there's a bunch of parameters to the constructor that all request types have in common, here they are:

type

Defaults to lite, but can be set to heavy if additional info on a product is wanted.

mode

Defaults to books, but can be set to other catalog values.

page

Defaults to 1, but can be set to a different number to start with a different result page. Used in conjunction with the max_pages parameter of the Net::Amazon object. page is the offset, max_pages is the maximum number of pages pulled in starting at page.
