# Bestseller (Lists)

By using the shortcode attribute *bestseller* you can display an automated list of the best selling products of a specific product category.

### What do I need?

- Search terms (keywords)
- ~~alternatively a browse node (see [Use Browse Nodes](https://getaawp.com/docs/article/browse-nodes/))~~

 **Important note**: Due to the new Amazon API v5 it is currently not possible to use a Browse Node ID. As soon as Amazon extends its API, we will be able to implement the function again. More information about the new Amazon API can be found [here](https://getaawp.com/docs/article/amazon-product-advertising-api-v5/).

Here you can find [all product groups available for Bestsellers](https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers/zgbs/ref=as_li_ss_tl?&linkCode=ll2&tag=getaawp-20&linkId=c56af36234573c5a66145f1cd5662073).

## Displaying a bestseller list

### Using keywords

**Shortcode**

```
[amazon bestseller="4k monitor" items="2"]
```

**Output**

**Note**: This is an exemplary screenshot. No real-time data. [Live demonstration can be found here](https://getaawp.com/demo/).

 By adding the attribute "items" you can specify the amount of products to be displayed. The default amount is 10.

### Using browse nodes

```
[amazon bestseller="BROWSE_NODE_ID" items="2"]
```

 When using a browse node, Amazon's API returns a maximum amount of 10 products. Main groups e.g. "Music" must be more specified, by using at least the first group child e.g. "Music - Pop"

The shortcodes above can be extended by adding further "attributes". We prepared an [overview of all shortcodes and adjustments](https://getaawp.com/docs/article/shortcodes/) for the Amazon Affiliate WordPress plugin.
