Import Plugin Tutorial 2: Amazon Web Services

In the last tutorial we created an import plugin that took data which needed very little modification to import into the respository. The column names in the CSV file matched the names of metadata fields present in the repository. In this tutorial we'll look at importing data that needs some modification to be imported, needs more error checking and is obtained in a different way.

We'll be using Amazon's E-Commerce Webservice to import books from their website into our respository given a list of ASINs (Amazon Standard Identification Numbers).

Before You Start

Amazon Web Services

To use Amazon's web services you must first signup for an account here. Their site has extensive documentation on the services that they offer as well as example programs including some written in Perl.

Required Modules

To prepare for this tutorial you should make sure the LWP::UserAgent module is installed. The following command as root, or using sudo should work. 

cpan LWP::UserAgent

AWS.pm

package EPrints::Plugin::Import::MyPlugins::AWS;

use EPrints::Plugin::Import::TextFile;
