Amazon Associates - get access to PA API?

Amazon Associates - get access to PA API

Hey Guys,
I read here a lot, even though I am not that active. so first of all, if I am already posting, I'd like to say
-Thanks- for all the information you all provide. very appreciated!

Second, I'm sorry in advance for my English, as I'm not a native speaker...



OK, so... here my issue / question that i'd like your help / opinion / other thoughts.

I built a website in some niche, and thought of monetizing it through Amazon Affiliate eStore.
I built it with WordPress and Element Pro. The site has articles, product reviews, guides, and more...

The idea was to make all imports of products through " Wzone " plugin (has anyone tried it? Or other plugins that do about the same?)

My problem starts when I need to get access to PA API in order to start working with the plugin.
and in order to get the API I must:

• 
  - Have completed 3 qualifying sales in 180 days.
  - Have an approved associate account.
  - Comply with the associates program Operating Agreement.

The thing is, for me to get all these requests, I need the API... So I'm a little stuck at the moment.

Does anyone have experience with this? I remember that another ID of mine (which opened some year ago) didn't have to do all of these to get the API...

Am I missing something? Does anyone have any thoughts or opinions on this?
Or alternatively, how to get around it?

Any advice is welcome, Thanks a lot!

Why do you need their API to make some sales ? I am lost with that. Simply do not use their pictures and use something from the web or royalty free images, why else do you may need API for some simple website. Thanks to the god they didn't ban you for having other account.

you can use Amazon Associates site strip ..with that you can get link for text and image.. for image use that html

I needed it to use some plugin.
I just paid for Wzone and it solved my problem for the moment.

thanks for the assistants guys!
