Will Vacuum support the Product Advertising API 5.0? #77
Comments
Oh, damn and they don't even provide official ruby sdk. That's an 'amazing' news and not that much time to update... I will surely be working on migrating to version 5. :-/ |
I wasn’t even aware they launched a new API version. I’ll check this out. |
Here is a documentation for new api. |
@hakanensari I'd be happy to help you out with this migration. I just started to look into this, but it seems like your ahead of me on this. If you already have a plan for migration - would be great to talk/discuss how we can proceed. |
@skatkov To be honest, I don't have a particular plan other than finding some spare time in the coming weeks and rewriting the library. If you want to have a go at this, please do go ahead, and I can try to be of help over a pull request. |
@kingpalethe Could you point me to any online post announcing when the older version will be disabled? |
I didn't found any announcements. But seems like associate support confirms that change is underway. https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=309730&tstart=0 |
This is what my client received, he's using Vacuum so I'm looking for a solution as well. Step 1: You will have to update your AWS account to a Product Advertising API account, if you have not done it already. If you have already done this, you can go to Step 2. |
Just an update on my side. I took a stab at rewriting this library for my own project. It's hard to say, if this is a same vacuum/jeff library -- it was really hard to keep similar API, since v5 is a complete rewrite. My version is not full featured:
I'll try to polish things and publish a PR for discussion within couple of days. Hopefully this would be a good starting point. |
Hey @skatkov , on that photo it says the deadline is now 14th January 2019 (not 2020) - is that a mistake? Is there any other info about the deadline being postponed? |
Oh, probably mistake :) I don't have any 'official info' on this, but I have another similar rumor from a long term partner of Amazon that builds on top of Product Advertising API. |
I also saw it on the AWS forums, from the same source (munich event), so hopefully this is true! |
@skatkov thanks for making this happen |
@hakanensari @skatkov is anything required for 5.0 support other than updating the gem to version 3.0? |
@hakanensari likewise! It was a pleasure working with you on this. @turner-btp unfortunately, PA-API v5 is not compatible with previous version, so is this gem. New vacuum gem has a spirit/design that closely resembles previous version. But it's completely incompatible, we don't even have a migration path that we would recommend. |
From what I can tell, Vacuum will cease to function once Amazon disables API 4.0, which seems to be scheduled for the end of October, 2019.

Any plans to update Vacuum to use new the API?
