Show HN: BrowseNodes – Get unthrottled access to Amazon Product API

When I was building a price comparison site using Amazon Product Advertising API, I ran into this throttling error frequently: "You are submitting requests too quickly. Please retry your requests at a slower rate."

So, I built a shared cache, so that developers can hit the cache instead of hitting Amazon API every time. That's how I created BrowseNodes. Have you faced the same problem like me? Do you think this will solve the throttling problem for you?

Looking forward to your feedback!

If this just caches the requests, then couldn't you still be throttled?

This just moves the throttling problem to BrowserNode

According to the Amazon API docs, we shouldn't be sharing the API key. Do you store our API key in the cache?
