VariationSummary Response Group
The VariationSummary response group provides the lowest price, highest price, lowest sale price, and
highest sale price for all child ASINs in a response.
Parent ASINs do not have offers; their children do. For example, you cannot buy a shirt (the parent ASIN).
You can, however, buy a shirt that is a certain color and size (the child ASIN).
Relevant Operations
Operations that can use this response group include:
•
ItemLookup (p. 189)
•
ItemSearch (p. 196)
•
SimilarityLookup (p. 206)
Variation Dimensions
A variation is a child ASIN. The parent ASIN is an abstraction of the children items. For example, Shirt
is a parent ASIN. Parent ASINs cannot be sold. A child ASIN of it would be a blue shirt, size 16, sold by
MyApparelStore. This child ASIN is one of potentially many variations. The ways in which variations differ
are called dimensions. In the preceding example, size and color are the dimensions. Parent ASINs
therefore return two related elements:
• VariationDimensions
• VariationDimension
For example,
<VariationDimensions>
<VariationDimension>ClothingSize</VariationDimension>
<VariationDimension>Color</VariationDimension>
</VariationDimensions>
The values returned by these elements are the dimensions listed in the child ASIN’s response, for example,
