RelatedItems Response Group
The
RelatedItems
response group returns items related to an item specified in an
ItemLookup (p. 189)
request. .Related items could be, for example, all of the Unbox episodes in a TV season that are sold
separately, or, for example, all of the MP3Download tracks on a MP3 album.
The data returned for
RelatedItems
is limited to ASINs and ItemAttributes. This remains true even if
you add additional response groups, such as Large, that would otherwise return additional data.
The relationship between items is unidirectional. One item is the parent and one item is the child. Items,
however, can have multiple children or multiple parents for a given relationship type.
The way in which the items are related is specified by the
RelationshipType
parameter. This parameter
is required when you use the
RelatedItems
response group. Some values include Episode, Season,
Tracks, and Variation. For a list of all relationship types, go to the
ItemLookup (p. 189)
page.
The relationship type is usually named after the child item in the relationship. For example, an MP3 Track
is related to an MP3 album and the type of relationship is Tracks. In this relationship, the album is the
parent. If you did an
ItemLookup
for an MP3 Track and requested
RelatedItems
using Tracks as the
RelationshipType
, you would receive the parent album (or albums) for that Track. Conversely, looking
up an album using Tracks as the
RelationshipType
returns the list of Tracks on that album.
Each
ItemLookup
request can return, at most, ten related items. To return additional items, use the
RelateditemsPage
parameter. A value of 2, for example, returns the second set of ten related items.
