News in search of products and API!

Hi! My name is Dirceu and as a boo-box ninja I’ve come to announce some big news:

It is now possible to use more than one tag in our product search system. This was already possible with the widget on the fixed list, but now the function is available both in the virtual shopping window and directly through the API. The tags need to be separated by commas, for example:

wii, lcd tv 52

Our API now has the limit parameter to define the maximum number of products that will be returned. The new URLs for API access look like this:

http://boo-box.com/api/format:json/aff:amazonid/uid:boobo-20/tags:book+javascript/limit:6

Or, for use with jQuery JSONP:

http://boo-box.com/api/format:json/aff:amazonid/uid:boobo-20/tags:book+javascript/jsonp:jsonp123/limit:6

In the event that this parameter is not defined, the pattern will be for 6 products. Our API users please note: update your applications.

Recently the widgets also underwent some changes. Back when we launched, the search product happened simultaneously in the same script call and would end up slowing down the entire page’s loading. Now the product search is asynchronous, and therefore should no longer interfere with loading and annoy the users on your website.

We hope that with these innovations it will be easier to use our tools to increase your profits and offer increasingly better recommendations for your users!
