Is there an Amazon.com API to retrieve product reviews?

• Do any of the AWS APIs/Services provide access to the product reviews for items sold by Amazon? I'm interested in looking up reviews by (ASIN, user_id) tuple. I can see that the Product Advertising API returns a URL to a page (for embedding in an IFRAME) containing the URLs, but I am interested in a machine-readable format of the review data, if possible.

  Update: Maybe. I wrote the original answer below earlier. I don't have time to look into this right now because I'm no longer on a project concerned with Amazon reviews, but their webpage at https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/advertising/api/detail/main.html states "The Product Advertising API helps you advertise Amazon products using product search and look up capability, product information and features such as Customer Reviews..." as of 2011-12-08. So I hope someone looks into it and posts back here; feel free to edit this answer. Original: Nope. Here is an intersting forum discussion about the fact including theories as to why: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1932326 If I'm wrong, please post what you find. I'm interested in getting the reviews content, as well as allowing submitting reviews to Amazon, if possible. You might want to check this link: http://reviewazon.com/. I just stumbled across it and haven't looked into it, but I'm surprised I don't see any mention on their site about the update concerning the drop of Reviews from the Amazon Products Advertising API posted at: https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/advertising/api/detail/main.html
