Support for Product Advertising API

[aschulz90]

Describe the feature

Please add a service for the Product Advertising API to query products off of Amazon.

Is your feature request related to a problem?

The PAAPI documentation provides a Java SDK, but the latest version is only distributed as a zip and the last published version is from 2017 (Maven).
It would be great if the ProductAdvertisingAPI AWS service could directly be queried through this Kotlin SDK instead.

Proposed Solution

No response

Describe alternative solutions or features you've considered

Since the service is just signed HTTP requests, one can maintain the request and response models by themself; and then sign the request as described here.

Hello, thanks for submitting this request.

The PAAPI SDKs are maintained by the PAAPI team and the AWS SDK for Kotlin is unable to implement support for it in the way we do for AWS services. I've opened an internal feature request to their team (PAAPI-FR-172).

In the meantime, the PAAPI team does offer documentation on making requests without an SDK, and you've correctly identified how to sign SigV4 requests yourself using the AWS SDK for Kotlin's signer. I would recommend pursuing that route. Let me know if you have any questions with this process!
