Create a shortened URL for products that use the Amazon Advertising API

I am using Amazon API to browse some products and I would like to create an affiliate link for some of them.

I know I can get a normal affiliate link from the field DetailPageURL

in the response (and that I can create it manually after the affiliate link format), but I would like to find an automatic way to generate a shortened URL for the product containing my tag.

2 technical notes:

  • URL shortening are the ones Amazon provides which looks like amzn.to/12345
  • I know I create them manually through the associates panel, but I am looking for a way to get them using the API.

Thank!

Apparently this can be done using the bit.y API, since every Amazon URL shortened by the .ly bit will get the format amzn.to/ {unique_id}.
