    This sucks pretty damn hard, but it's still possible to get around this. They supply you with a url to an iframe that's valid for 24 hours.

    All plugins (wprobot etc) must be updated, as of the 8th of November reviews will not be returned in the API response, only the iframe-url.

    If you still want to save reviews as comments etc. you can still do this, it just requires some additional work. I'm already working on scraping the HTML for the returned iframe. I guess it won't be a lot of trouble getting the iframe -> scraping/parsing the review data from the HTML -> saving it to a database.

    You might be able to work around this, but I wouldn't recommend it. Amazon is quite strict and they can use any tos violation to kick you out the door.

    Yes, the comments added to the posts in the database, but there is also a message in linktag single model, which leads directly to reviewspage on Amazon.
