Developer Tools for ASA2
Inspect API responses, debug templates, and explore placeholder data — directly in your WordPress admin.
The Problem
Working with ASA2 templates and API data is a black box. You can't see what placeholder values are available, how the API responds, or why a template renders a certain way. Debugging means trial and error.
The Solution
ASA2 DevTools gives you inspection tools inside WordPress: search Amazon products, inspect placeholder data, view raw API responses, and preview templates in real time.
Key Features
Search Items
Test Amazon product searches with keywords across all marketplaces.
Template Preview
Preview how any product renders with a specific template.
Placeholder Inspector
Look up any ASIN and see all available template placeholders with their values.
API Response Viewer
View raw PA API and Creators API responses with syntax highlighting.
Tools in Detail
Each tool is accessible from the ASA2 > DevTools menu in your WordPress admin.
Search Items Tester
The starting point for all DevTools. Search Amazon products by keyword across any marketplace. Each result includes a context menu that lets you open the product directly in the Placeholder Inspector, API Response Viewer, or Template Preview — no need to copy ASINs manually.
Template Preview
Live preview of how a product renders with a specific template. Select an ASIN or product ID and a template, and see the rendered output. Supports responsive viewport testing to check how templates look at different screen sizes.
Placeholder Inspector
See every available placeholder for a given ASIN, including its value and data type. Enter an ASIN or product ID, and the inspector shows all placeholders that ASA2 makes available for templates. This removes the guesswork when building custom templates.
