Querying Amazon - iphone

Is is possible to querying Amazon for items. Regarding their prices, discounts, category etc?
If yes then how can we access it and get results on iphone.
Any help would be appreciated.

Possibly you're looking for Amazon Web Services, specifically the Amazon Associates Web Service (A2S)? According to the wiki article you can use it to browse their catalog and retrieve product information etc etc.

You need the Product Advertising API

Use the ItemLookup operation to find the item in question. Depending on what ResponseGroup you choose, you can get just about every piece of information about a product.

Does Amazon have an API to access "Customers Also Viewed" for any given product?

I've found an API labeled aws-ecomm-customers-who-viewed-x-also-viewed but I can't figure out if it's for any product or only works for products on your own store.
The reason I ask is because, it seems that the Amazon website no longer displays "Customers Also Viewed" for any products at all.
Amazon Personalize trains ML models to provide recommendations based on your data only. These models are private to your AWS environment and do not include data from Amazon.com or any other source outside of what you provide.

Are any of the columns in the Tableau Server sites or users customizable?

I haven't come across any documentation provided by Tableau in asking this question but I'd like to ask if anyone knows whether the info columns in the Sites or Users section are customizable for anyone with Server Administrator privileges. Mainly these columns show site/user metrics but I'm not sure if you can add your own columns to that list to track your own metrics.
Unfortunately, no. Even Admins do not have the ability to add/sort/change columns on these pages (or any other pages, I believe.)
You can always make this suggestion on the Tableau Ideas Forum though. Others can vote your idea up and Tableau will see it.
You can create your own custom admin views of information stored in the Tableau server repository. See this link. https://onlinehelp.tableau.com/current/server/en-us/adminview_postgres.htm
You could also use the server's Rest API to query information and display however you like. https://onlinehelp.tableau.com/current/api/rest_api/en-us/REST/rest_api.htm
If you're working in Python, there is an open source library that makes using the Rest API more convenient

Is Schema.org Store appropriate for online stores?

I have an online store and I have added a Schema.org Website entity to its JSON-LD structured data. The store also has a brick and mortar store. So I was wondering whether it would be also appropriate to add a Store entity to the structured data?
Can the Website and the Store entity co-exist and would it be beneficial?
Additionally, Please add LocalBusiness schema - this will work better ;). As for Website, please check information about website enhancements.
Also, I would go to Google for schema docs, as not all structured data gives any result. Structured data influences on how your website looks like in search results. (Or how Search Engine shows information in the snippets).
Please check information for LocalBusiness at Google Developers portal. And it will be awesome if you add schemas for your products in the store, this will have a huge impact, I think.

async autocomplete service

Call me crazy, but I'm looking for a service that will deliver autocomplete functionality similar to Google, Twitter, etc. After searching around for 20 min I thought to ask the geniuses here. Ideas?
I don't mind paying, but it would great if free.. Also is there a top notch NLP service that I can submit strings to and get back states, cities, currencies, company names, establishments, etc. Basically I need to take unstructured data (generic search string) and pull out key information with relevant meta-data.
Big challenge, I know.
Sharing solutions I found after further research.

If you dont want to implement it yourself, you can use this service called 'Autocomplete as a Service' which is specifically written for these purposes. You can access it here - www.aaas.io.
you can add metadata with each record and it returns metadata along with the matching results. Do check out demo put up on the home page. It has got a very simple API specifically written for autocomplete search
It does support large datasets and you can apply filters as well while searching.
Its usage is simple - Add your data and use the API URL as autocomplete data source.
Disclaimer: I am founder of it. I will be happy to provide this service to you.

Query the AppStore?

How do sites like Apptism and Appbeacon build their list of apps from the AppStore? Is there some way to query the store and get information such as title, author, ratings, etc.?
They screen-scrape the html. This article may be helpful for you.
Several websites (such as Pinch) use this data to provide RSS feeds of different application categories and their associated information. Depending on your needs this may be an easier option.
There are also XML feeds of the App Store which includes category, release date, etc.
Here's an article that describes what's available and how to get at it.
Your View into the App Store
Some companies specialized in ASO services provide access to their underlying architecture. They scrape the stores to generate data for their SAAS products or consulting services. And they provide access to the data with API's (for a fee).
