Hi Ray, thanks for that PHP example. I will be using PHP so that will be useful. <br />
I'm not really familiar with the concept of APIs and web services. Even if I had a small number (approx 100) of random images of items I will be happy with that.

OK, I don't know where APIs and web services fit into this equation. &nbsp;But I am sure that Amazon has millions of images. &nbsp;The key to success may be whether you have permission to use Amazon's images.

I'm not too familiar with web design. I want to set up a simple website (offline) that displays random images (one at a time) from the Amazon catolog. Is this to do for free?

Web Development

A Web service is a method of communication between two electronic devices over a network. It is a software function provided at a network address over the Web with the service always on as in the concept of utility computing. A web service has an interface described in Web Services Description Language (WSDL). Other systems interact with the Web service in a manner prescribed by its description using SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) messages. There are two major classes of Web services: REST-compliant web services, and Arbitrary web services.
