			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>If you have happen to have a list of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Standard_Identification_Number">ASINs</a> and you want the product images from Amazon, it&#8217;s a lot easier than I expected to grab them.  Their consistent naming structure makes it easy to put together a list of URLs to their Amazon&#8217;s product images of different sizes. </p>
<p>All images are available at http://images.amazon.com/images/P/</p>
<p>Then, you tack on your ASIN, in this case, we&#8217;ll use B0018QUCL2 (the excellent <em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&#038;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FRome-1960-Olympics-Changed-World%2Fdp%2F1416534075&#038;tag=httpwwwpolico-20&#038;linkCode=ur2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325">Rome 1960: The Olympics That Changed the World</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=httpwwwpolico-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /></em>), a &#8220;.01&#8243; to designate the US country code, and one of these final suffixes:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Large size:</strong> _SL500_.jpg</li>
<li><strong>Medium size:</strong> ._SL160_.jpg</li>
<li><strong>Small size: </strong>._SL110_.jpg</li>
<li><strong>Thumbnail size:</strong> ._SL110_.jpg</li>
<li><strong>Tiny:</strong> ._SL75_.jpg</li>
<li><strong>Very small (swatch) size:</strong> _SL30_.jpg</li>
</ul>
<p>The final URL looks like this:<br />
<a href="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0018QUCL2.01_SL500_.jpg">http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0018QUCL2.01_SL500_.jpg</a></p>
<p>Once you get your list together, throw it into wget, and in minutes you&#8217;ll have the images you need for every single ASIN.  For bonus fun, to add a &#8220;30% off&#8221; (or any percentage) badge to an image, append &#8220;_PE30&#8243;  to the URL, right after the &#8220;.01.&#8221;  <a href="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0018QUCL2.01._PE99_SL500_.jpg">http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0018QUCL2.01._PE99_SL500_.jpg</a></p>
