Searching Amazon.com from Tellico 1.3.x

20 Aug 2009

Amazon.com has changed their data API to require that all searches be signed with a secret key, unique to each user. The upcoming version of Tellico supports the new method. However, older versions (i.e. all versions of Tellico for KDE3) do not.

As a result, the Amazon searching no longer works for any version of Tellico released for KDE3. I don't plan to try to backport that support, either.

Sorry, folks. You'll just have to use a different search source.

By the way, Alexandria has hit the same issue. Books for Macos X hit it, too.
