FileMaker does not have a native function for reading XML, so a plugin or a good custom function is needed in order to easily make and read any XML that is sent or received from the API. Once a successful request has been made, an XML-encoded response will be returned. To send a request to the API, you will need to use the Insert from URL script step with FileMaker cURL options.
The authentication process can be quite tricky, so I highly recommend taking a look under the hood of the example file we have provided. The signature string is an encrypted combination of all parameters passed in the request in alphabetical order. The main goal of the signature is to make sure the signature string matches what the API expects. Please reference the documentation on signing requests. Amazon requires you to add a signature to all of your requests to authenticate your requests. Once you have your API information, you will need to authenticate your solution with the Amazon MWS API. These are important for our integration and should be kept safe and secret. When you finish the process, you will then see your Seller ID (Merchant ID), Marketplace ID, AWS Access Key ID, and Secret Key. Click on the Register as a Developer button and follow the instructions. If you have what you need to register as a developer, then you will need to log in and go to your User Permissions page.
If you do not have a seller account, you will need to create one by registering at Amazon Services.
You can get all the information you need and more in the Amazon MWS Documentation. There are a few prerequisites that you will need to meet first before you can continue.
