jdfwarrior Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Just as the name implies, this workflow allows you to get search suggestions from Amazon.com. Actioning an item will open a search on Amazon for the suggested query. [Note: This workflow is no longer available, as the Amazon Suggest workflow is available in Alfred itself. Launch Alfred's preferences to the Workflows tab, click the [+] in the bottom left and choose Examples > Amazon Suggest to install the workflows.] drking and Weaselboy 2 Link to comment
GamerChase Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Looks great, as usual, David. Just wondering if there's a way to set it to search Amazon.ca instead? Link to comment
Andrew Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Looks great, as usual, David. Just wondering if there's a way to set it to search Amazon.ca instead? It uses Alfred's default amazon web searcher, so if you have your locale in Alfred's General preferences set to Canada, then it will load Amazon Canada. It's also worth noting that this and David's Google Suggest workflow will both be part of Alfred's default examples as they are, to me, essential workflows drking and Weaselboy 2 Link to comment

Can I set it to Amazon Germany manually? Link to comment
jdfwarrior Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 I live in Belgium, but there is no Amazon Belgium. Can I set it to Amazon Germany manually? This uses the built in Amazon Search in Alfred so whatever your location is set to in the prefs is what it attempts to use. Link to comment

stelephan Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Hi, access denied when trying to download this great stuff :/ could you give us another link please ? Link to comment
jdfwarrior Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 Hi, access denied when trying to download this great stuff :/ could you give us another link please ? Are you using HTTPS Everywhere? If so, disable it temporarily and try downloading again. Most of my workflows are stored on Droplr, which has determined that their CDN has issues with HTTPS Everywhere. If you are not using HTTPS Everywhere, let me know and I'll get another link posted.

mwaterfall Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Any chance you could support updating via the Alleyoop workflow? Link to comment

Very much respect phyllisstein, he makes some great stuff but I'm going to wait a bit before I start including support for things like this. There are so many people creating updaters, repos, sites, etc. I'd prefer to hold off a bit longer. Link to comment

enigma2k Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I really love the Amazon Suggest Workflow. The only issue I have with it is that I would like to specify which Amazon country I'd like to use, because I'm using different amazon sites in order to read reviews. How can I add amazon.co.uk and amazon.de to the current amazon.com ? Link to comment
shira Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 awesomesauce! I see all the questions about regional Amazon sites -- I have a slightly different snag. My Amazon account is now at smile.amazon.com (which as far as I can tell donates money to charity at zero cost to me), so when I run the workflow and go to the regular Amazon.com site, I get prompted to switch over to smile.amazon.com. Any way to fix this? A quick stab at replacing $url = "http://completion.amazon.com/search/complete? ... with $url = "http://completion.smile.amazon.com/search/complete? ... did not do the trick, but I haven't pursued it further yet.

Maeve Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Very helpful feature I must admit! I suffered so much from the lack of sources in college. I sometimes even had to pay to write essay since most of the books I needed were just not available. Improving this search process would help dramatically, but I just wanted to double check in which countries does it work properly. As far as I can see, there were issues with that alrea Link to comment

Vero Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 @buntonn This workflow is actually now bundled into Alfred Launch Alfred 3 to the Workflows tab, click the [+] in the bottom left, and choose Examples > Amazon Suggest. Once you've got this keyword in place, you may wish to disable to default search for Amazon or change its keyword. Cheers, Vero xilopaint and buntonn 2 Link to comment

kenanmike Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I live in Turkey which is where my Alfred location is set to which is great. But as a British citizen I'm also often searching Amazon UK when shopping for UK gifts, etc. Any easy way to do this for a non-technical person? Thanks very much! Link to comment
xilopaint Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Hey @vitor, I can see you're the workflow creator. Where's this API documented? Btw, I'm currently getting suggestions in multiple languages, including English, Spanish and my own language. Apart of that the suggestions I get with the workflow are different from the ones I get by searching the Amazon website of my country on the browser. Is it possible to make the API filter results in a specific language? Link to comment

The Workflows were modified from David’s PHP originals. Everything about the code (and some of the behaviour) changed, but I kept the API call. It’s clearly official, but all documentation I found is outdated or dead. Still, it works. Link to comment
