PEAR::Services_Amazon

PEARでServices_Amazonって言うライブラリを発見．

これを使うと，AmazonのAPIをPHPで叩いて色々と面白いことが出来る様子．

たとえば，

< ?php
require_once(“Services/Amazon.php”);

$amazonObj = & new Services_Amazon($Token,$amazonID,$LOCALE,$BaseUrl);
$itemlist = $amazonObj->searchKeyword( “のだめカンタービレ” );
print_r( $itemlist );
?>

こうするだけで， 以下のように$itemlistの中に色んな結果が入ってきます．

何に使うんだと言われても困るんだけど，簡単にAmazonの結果を引っ掛けられて楽しいです．

良く見ると，PEAR::Web Servicesには色んなWebサービスをPHPから叩くためのライブラリがそろっている．
いったい何に使えばよいのやら．
