# python-amazonify

The simplest way to build Amazon Affiliate links, in Python.

![amazonify](https://github.com/rdegges/python-amazonify/raw/master/assets/amazonify.jpg)

## Install

To install ``python-amazonify``, simply run

``pip install amazonify`` and you'll get the latest version installed

automatically.

## Usage

Using ``amazonify`` is really easy. All you do is pass it the Amazon URL you'd

like to make into an affiliate link, and your Amazon affiliate tag.

``` python

>>> from amazonify import amazonify

>>>

>>> # Your Amazon affiliate tag:

>>> affiliate_tag = 'rdegges-20'

>>>

>>> # Some non-affiliate Amazon URLs:

>>> urls = [

...     'http://www.amazon.com/Canon-21-1MP-Frame-Digital-Camera/dp/B001G5ZTLS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1337148615&sr=8-1',

...     'http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-Compact-Flash-Card-400X/dp/B002WE4H8I/ref=pd_bxgy_p_img_b',

...     'http://www.amazon.com/Canon-LP-E6-Battery-Digital-Cameras/dp/B001KELVS0/ref=pd_bxgy_e_img_b',

...     'http://www.amazon.com/Canon-50mm-1-8-Camera-Lens/dp/B00007E7JU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1337148688&sr=8-1',

...     'http://www.amazon.com/Canon-70-300mm-4-5-6-Lens-Cameras/dp/B0007Y794O/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1337148688&sr=8-3',

... ]

>>> affiliate_urls = [amazonify(u, affiliate_tag) for u in urls]

>>> affiliate_urls

[

    'http://www.amazon.com/Canon-21-1MP-Frame-Digital-Camera/dp/B001G5ZTLS/ref=sr_1_1?tag=rdegges-20',

    'http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-Compact-Flash-Card-400X/dp/B002WE4H8I/ref=pd_bxgy_p_img_b?tag=rdegges-20',

    'http://www.amazon.com/Canon-LP-E6-Battery-Digital-Cameras/dp/B001KELVS0/ref=pd_bxgy_e_img_b?tag=rdegges-20',

    'http://www.amazon.com/Canon-50mm-1-8-Camera-Lens/dp/B00007E7JU/ref=sr_1_1?tag=rdegges-20',

    'http://www.amazon.com/Canon-70-300mm-4-5-6-Lens-Cameras/dp/B0007Y794O/ref=sr_1_3?tag=rdegges-20'

]

```

**NOTE**: If the URL you try to ``amazonify`` is invalid, ``amazonify`` will return ``None``.
