scrape ASIN from amazon URL using javascript

Question

Assuming I have an Amazon product URL like so

http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Wireless-Reading-Display-Generation/dp/B0015T963C/ref=amb_link_86123711_2?pf_rd_m=ATVP         


        

Answer 1

something like this should work (not tested)

var match = /\/dp\/(.*?)\/ref=amb_link/.exec(amazon_url);
var asin = match ? match[1] : '';
