Amazon API rental info - amazon-web-services

Is it possible to get rental info from the Amazon book API?I can't find anything in the Amazon API documentation.
This page contains all the ResponseGroups: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSECommerceService/latest/DG/CHAP_ResponseGroupsList.html

Mentioned a few times on Amazon web services forums that this is currently not available
Rental Book Prices?
Is there a way to get rental book pricing from the API yet? I'm unable
to find any documentation on this. For example:
http://www.amazon.com/Accounting-Information-Systems-Marshall-Romney/dp/0132552620
Also, what about buyback pricing? This would be helpful too.
None of this is possible in PA-API (and unlikely to be in the near
future with features being removed rather than added), sorry to
disappoint.

How to get book rental prices via the Product Advertising API?
Hi, I can see a number of websites (gettextbooks.com, bigwords.com)
showing book rental prices. However there is no mention in the API
docs how to retrieve the rental prices. Any idea how to fetch them?
Using the API, as mentioned, you can't. The only other way is scraping
... which I don't recommend.

I know this is old but I wanted to correct this with some updated information. It is possible to retrieve "Buy back" pricing from Amazon. Those details are contained within the ItemAttributes section under "TradeInValue". Further details can be found here

Does Google Dialogflow have intent recommendation?

I'm switching from IBM Watson Assistant to Google Dialogflow. In WA there's a feature called intent recommendation, which taps into live instances, detects the topics/intents that users want, and groups them together into new recommended intents. You can also upload utterances in spreadsheets and intent recommendation does the same thing. Does Dialogflow have something similar?
Likely the closest to your needs is the GCP Product called Contact Center AI Insights. If we look at this documentation page:
https://cloud.google.com/contact-center/insights/docs/topic-modeling-overview
we find that this product has a feature called "Topic Modeling". This allows us to examine the current and historic conversation transcriptions and, from that:
Monitoring topic trends to keep your agents updated.
Supporting agent
training as new topics are observed.
Using topics and their
distribution to help define Dialogflow intents.
You can also deploy your created topic model to infer topics on new conversations, allowing you to continually classify incoming conversations.

Is there a Google Places API return field for restaurant dining options (ie. Dine-In, Takeout, Delivery)?

During the pandemic around March, Google started allowing business owners to tag their restaurants with the dining option they offer in light of the pandemic.
Here is an example of these tags
I was wondering if the Places API (or any other Google API) has the ability to return these dining types. I've checked the docs for the Places API and it seems to only be capable of returning the business' business_status which only includes OPERATIONAL, CLOSED_TEMPORARILY, CLOSED_PERMANENTLY and not the fields I am looking for.
Would the only other way to obtain these tags be by web scraping a search result?
I just spoke with Google support and they said no. There is also no plan in the future to add these data points to the JSON.
They gave me some workaround ideas but nothing realistic. Let me know if you find a workaround! I am trying to gather this data as well.

Amazon AWS / Rakuten API - Inventory Management

I am sure this question may seem a bit lacking, but I literally do not know where to begin with. I want to develop a solution that will allow me to manage ALL of my Amazon and Rakuten/Buy.com inventory from my own website.
My main concern is keeping the inventory in sync, so the process would be as follows:
1.Fetch Orders sold today
a.Subtract the respective quantities
2.Fetch Rakuten orders sold
a.Subtract the respective quantities
3.Update Internal DB of products
a.Send out updated feeds to Amazon and Rakuten.
Again, I apologize if this question may seem a bit lacking, but I am having trouble understanding how exactly to implement this, any tips would be appreciated
For the Amazon part look at https://developer.amazonservices.com/
Rakuten, I think you will be able to do what you want with it via the FTP access, I'm still researching this. If I find more I'll respond with a better answer.
In order to process orders, you'll need to use be registered with Rakuten in order to get an authorisation token. For the API doc etc... try sending an email to support#rakuten.co.uk.
Incidentally, to send out updated feeds, you'll need to use the inventory API in order to update stock quantities (given that you'll be selling the same item Amazon etc..).

get personal Amazon purchase history and simiar titles

I'm writing my own service to track my growing library and notify me of when books become available. I'm in the middle of 5 series waiting for the next book to come out. I also pick some up locally and would like to grab similar titles from amazon. How can I get my purchase history and similar titles? Is there an API for these? I haven't found anything from searches.
I don't think Amazon exposes an API for order history.
The closest thing seems to be the product advertising API: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSECommerceService/latest/DG/Welcome.html
That would allow you to search for items, for example using ItemSearch:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSECommerceService/latest/DG/ItemSearch.html
Alternatively, you probably could write a script scrape the data by navigating through the order history page, or to help you capture each page of results as you manually navigate your order history. You're on your own for this option, though.

Amazon Advanced FPS programming tutorial

I'm struggling to find any good library for Amazon FPS for Ruby language, and so
I'm looking for a suggestion on a good explanation (other than amazon docs) or perhaps a tutorial to get me up to speed quickly with Amazon FPS.
What I am looking for is information on how to set up user registration form and do recurring payments which vary in amount charged to the user.
I've already wasted 4 hours going through amazon docs and received a lot of errors when sticking to their information, and the only result I got is getting hungry.
As a side note, I've set up sandbox business account and Amazon keeps notifying me that I did not set up sandbox business account.
Could someone possibly please redirect me to some insightful resources on using Amazon FPS but different than crappy sample FPS apps, and twisted amazon documentation ?
There's a Ruby Library called Remit for working with Amazon Flexible Payment Service (FPS) and a blog post with someone's experiences working with it and some samples. I'm new to Stack Overflow and not allowed to use hyperlinks yet :) but if you search RubyForge for "remit" and google for the string "Software as a Service with Amazon FPS using Remit for Ruby" you should be able to find them. Find it here.
