Amazon AWS Signed Search Requests in Objective-C
Developer — 18 Jun 2009 07:27 — 236 days ago

I got a notice from Amazon telling me to change my Album Artwork Assistant application within 60 days so that it signs its search requests to the Amazon AWS product information web service. I use this service to find album artwork images.

Amazon provides some notes and examples for Java, Perl and C#, but not for Objective-C. I wrapped my signed request URL generation in a class that other Cocoa developers can reuse. It’s available here:

SignedAwsSearchRequest.h and SignedAwsSearchRequest.m

Example usage can be seen in the unit test file TestSignedAwsSearchRequest.m

Hi Marc, Googling about open finder window in terminal got me here and got me to discover your great Album Artwork Assistant. Congrats for such a nice app. I have one suggestion for it. Could you make it work with files from a playlist, not exclusively with files from the music "root" library? Would be very usefull to work in companion large music libraries and "Find iTunes songs without artwork" scripts.

Congrats again!
