BananaSlug and Amazon APIs
Between more content-rich posts (as if?), I'll use this space as the chronicle of BananaSlug updates and progress.
It seems that the Amazon v3.0 APIs feeding the Amazon similar book explorer function stopped working, and the Amazon lookup with every BananaSlug search was slowing down the BananaSlug results, so I turned off the Amazon book result and the link to the similar book explorer. Over the weekend I wrote a book lookup function in Perl using SOAP::Lite and the Amazon 4.0 APIs. It's a stopgap, and the lookup is by-request-only with a button at the bottom of the BananaSlug results page.
