What AWS IAM permissions are needed for using the bottlenose API?

Question

I want to use the bottlenose API for building a price predictor for Amazon products. I understand that it's a wrapper. I have these questions:

1. Is it must to have the AWS Associate Tag to use bottlenose? Or can I query the product prices and such using only the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key?

2. While creating a user in AWS IAM, what permissions do I need to give it so that he is able to use the Bottlenose API programmatically?

Answer 1

A policy something like below. (note, the version must be 2012-10-17 not a current date)

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": "ProductAdvertisingAPI:*",
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}
