Any rules about grabbing Amazon products for my page and converting the links to my affiliate links?

Any tips in doing this? As long as I can use get file contents replacing the strings should be pretty easy.

Amazon has a Product Advertising API that you can try: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSECommerceService/latest/DG/Welcome.html

Amazon has changed their rules for providing API - they need at least three affiliate link purchases and then you have to send them link to your site to evaluate it. As far as I know this new rule only for US version of amazon

Amazon API rules change time, if you write your own script you need to watch the change every time. If you miss the update then it will mess your site.
