item_lookup(Agent,'B00004TN1Z',Item, _{'ResponseGroup':"Offers"}).

item_lookup(+Agent, +Asin:string, -Item)

Like item_lookup/4 with no arguments.

offer_inventory(+Item, ?Condition:atom, -Inventory:integer)

Find how many offers in Condition are available. Item is a value produced by item_lookup/3, which must include the response group "OfferSummary" (directly or indirectly).

Item is a value produced by item_lookup/3, which must include the response group "OfferSummary" (directly or indirectly).

Condition should be one of used, new or collectible. Leaving Condition unbound iterates all conditions on backtracking.
