Each of these accessories has an item ID, such as an ASIN, as shown in the following response snippet.
In this example, the main item, B00008OE6I, the camera, returned in the response comes with two
accessories, B00003G1RG, a compact flash card, and B00004WCCT, a leather camera case.

The following figure shows those items.
As you can see in this example, Amazon groups accessories with the main item for sale. Product
Advertising API makes it easy to retrieve all of the accessories associated with a main item by using the
Accessories response group in an
ItemLookup
or
ItemSearch
request. As you can see in the previous
response snippet, each accessory listed in the response includes the accessory's title and item identifier,
such as an ASIN.
Note
When you have the item ID of the main item, the Accessories response group returns the item's
accessories. The reverse, however, is not true, that is, if you have the item ID of an accessory,
you cannot use the Accessories response group to return the main item or the other accessories
associated with the main item.
