question

I would like to implement an in-app functionality to 1- Search through Amazon products 2- Get an affiliate link to Amazon website As far as I understand (correct me if I'm wrong), this feature only work on Android devices with Amazon Client, which need to be installed from a downloaded apk apart from Google Play. More specifically : - search() is a method of ShoppingService, and getShoppingService() require Amazon Client. - openRetailPage() is a method of LinkService, which could be run on any Android device without Amazon Client. To summarise: I'm looking for an in-app product search functionality which is "Amazon Client" agnostic. My question is: could we run Amazon Product Advertising API on a server backend, run searches based on in-app queries, and send back results to mobile app ? I understand that Product Advertising forbid to use results on mobile, but since Mobile Associate allow it, is there a kind of legal "transitivity" if our app is accepted in Mobile Associate Program ? If not possible yet, does Amazon has a plan to implement or allow it ? I should also precise that the app is not for shopping intent, and I'll be happy to share existing iOS appstore and Google Play links to Amazon team. Any advises and insights would be greatly appreciated !
