What is your experience level with iOS and Objective-C programming? Or perhaps Swift programming?

You are looking into their Product Advertising API, which I don't think it does what you are looking for.

So I suggest you to take a few steps back, look for tutorials, learn the basics, practice and then think about building a full fledged app like this one.

You can find great tutorials here:

Be careful with tutorials on youtube, while some are pretty good, others are terrible.

Not ALL the tutorials, but tutorials covering basic programming, and then tutorials targeting the area you intend to develop for

You might look into the Pythonista app, which will run on iPhone & iPad. You can develop an app in that on your iDevice, then export it to Xcode. Best of both worlds!

Thanks a lot,
First i might get an api key from best buy which i think is more straight forward....rather than amazon
I want to develop and learn xcode thats my goal
