Are you web scraping the html or are you using Amazon's API[1] with an AWS developer access key?

Don't you need to be an affiliate bringing them a decent amount of sales before you get access to that. Usually there is a rate limit that makes it impossible to keep up with all their prices. How did you get around that?
