let catToys = await a.find('cat toy')

// Returns an Item()
let firstToy = await catToys[0].get()

console.log(firstToy.full_link)

Getting an Item() using a link or product ID (asin)

const { Amazon, Item } = require('node-amzn')
// UK Amazon instance
const a = new Amazon('co.uk', {
  proxylist: 'C:/Dir/To/proxylist.txt',

})

// Get information on an item with the product ID (asin) of "B07W4CK8KR"
const nintendoSwitch = await new Item(a, 'B07W4CK8KR').get()

// OR

// Get info based on link. This will automatically translate the item to the listing available
// in the country specified in the Amazon() constructor if 'allowForeignProducts' is false.
//
// In this case, it will change the amazon.com item listing to the amazon.co.uk listing.
// If 'allowForeignProducts' was true, the amazon.com listing would stay as amazon.com
const nintendoSwitch = await new Item(a, 'https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Neon-Blue-Joy‑/dp/B07VGRJDFY/').get()
