Pedias Updated for Amazon US.
If you are having trouble with the Amazon US returning no results for searches please update to the beta version of the Pedias. This will have the nice side effect of increasing the beta testing pool as well as let me know how many users roughly are having issue with the search. The beta version…

Changes to the Amazon API
Amazon is changing their API access requirements on August 31, 2012. It will be limited to associates only which means a personal associate ID will be required by all users accessing Amazon. For most users no action should be necessary since you should already have your own associate ID linked to your AWS account and…

Discogs’ API Developers
Although the internet is overflowing with deep data most of it is trapped in old APIs that make working with the data complicated. Wikipedia, one of the largest repositories of contributed information in several languages, still relies on an old MediaWiki API that is almost useless at any meaningful search. Sites have sprung up to…

Happy Birthday Bruji!
10 years ago today we released DVDpedia 1.0 into the wild. We never thought that this little program, which Conor initially wrote just to learn more about Cocoa and Xcode, would turn Bruji into our fulltime jobs and livelihood. But 5 people (unexpectedly) bought DVDpedia on that first day and we got a lot of…

Version 5.1.2 in the App Store (except DVDpedia)
Version 5.1.2 is ready for download in the App Store now as well, except for DVDpedia which for some reason was not granted the same expedited review process as the other three programs. This is the first time we’ve applied for an expedited review since the Amazon API issue is time sensitive (it comes into…

5.0.1 is out
This version mostly addresses smaller bug fixes that slipped past us with the initial 5.0 release (localization errors, fields not included in autofill) but also includes an important change to the new Amazon search sign up as you no longer need to enter an Amazon associate ID in version 5.0.1. If none is provided the…

Search 5.0
The search window is one of the features that has received a major make over with this new version, both in form and function. Let’s start by talking about the new UI a bit. The biggest change for most users will probably be the way the search sites are accessed now. Instead of a drop-down…

Unfruitful Discussions
We managed to talk with an Amazon representative over the phone about Pocketpedia2 and although thrilling to finally have a two-way conversation it proved to be neither enlightening nor productive. Amazon made it clear that they are not okay with Pocketpedia2, even though it censors their data. We were told that even the most common…

Bad News Day
Sadly, here we go again. Amazon has informed us this morning that we have to “cease displaying [Amazon’s] content and links to [Amazon’s] site on [our] mobile application and accessing the Product Advertising API through [our] mobile application.” Of course, once again there is no email address to respond to directly so our reply sent…
