Amazon Large Pic Import Script

facts · Post by **facts** » 2003-04-08 07:00:05

Hello, i'm new to the forums, and never have written anything in pascal, but here is my first go at it. This should import pictures from amazon, the nice large ones

, and it stores them internally. It could be buggy, dunno, but it has worked so far for me, enjoy.

Thanks

I removed it from your first post so the script is not repeated several times on the page

WhiteRabbit · Post by **WhiteRabbit** » 2003-06-02 08:09:16

Your Script is great!

But i need the Big Pics from the german Site www.amazon.de
I've tried to change your script, but i failed.
It seems to me that the index part of the search url don't work on the german site.
How can i explorer the syntax of the search url from amazon.de?
If i use the web "frontend", i can't see the syntax.

I hope someone can help me.

PS: Sorry about my evil englich but i'm only a kraut
