Its me again, after spending a couple of days playing with feedx I finally achieve what I wanted.
I managed to pull specific data and images from amazon using their API and using FeedX to process it.
I’m getting the output I wanted, I am only having some difficulties with optimizing some things in the template but haven’t gotten around it yet, if anyone has any pointers I appreciate it.
Lets say I am pulling CD’s and tracks for a given amazon CD.
Here’s part of the output:

As you can see, I am getting 3 CD’s each one with a number of tracks.
I though that the template would recursively look inside and get each CD and each track by itself, and it is not doing it. Instead it is only giving me 1 CD, and the first track. It is not recursively looping through each item, so I’ve had to code some unnecessary things in my templates, like:
[+DISC.NUMBER:ifnotempty=`<p><strong>Disc Number:</strong> [+DISC.NUMBER+]</p><ol>{{DISC(0)->tracks}}</ol>`+]
[+DISC.1.NUMBER:ifnotempty=`<p><strong>Disc Number:</strong> [+DISC.1.NUMBER+]</p><ol>{{DISC(1,1)->tracks}}</ol>`+]
[+DISC.2.NUMBER:ifnotempty=`<p><strong>Disc Number:</strong> [+DISC.2.NUMBER+]</p><ol>{{DISC(1,2)->tracks}}</ol>`+]
[+DISC.3.NUMBER:ifnotempty=`<p><strong>Disc Number:</strong> [+DISC.3.NUMBER+]</p><ol>{{DISC(1,3)->tracks}}</ol>`+]

[+DISC.5.NUMBER:ifnotempty=`<p><strong>Disc Number:</strong> [+DISC.5.NUMBER+]</p><ol>{{DISC(1,5)->tracks}}</ol>`+]
[+DISC.6.NUMBER:ifnotempty=`<p><strong>Disc Number:</strong> [+DISC.6.NUMBER+]</p><ol>{{DISC(1,6)->tracks}}</ol>`+]
[+DISC.7.NUMBER:ifnotempty=`<p><strong>Disc Number:</strong> [+DISC.7.NUMBER+]</p><ol>{{DISC(1,7)->tracks}}</ol>`+]
[+DISC.8.NUMBER:ifnotempty=`<p><strong>Disc Number:</strong> [+DISC.8.NUMBER+]</p><ol>{{DISC(1,8)->tracks}}</ol>`+]

[+TRACK.28:ifnotempty=`<li>[+TRACK.28+]</li>`+]
[+TRACK.29:ifnotempty=`<li>[+TRACK.29+]</li>`+]
So basically I’ve had to assume a maximum for each of the fields and just manually call each entry.
I though and from examples I’ve seen that each template goes through the list of items in its level, but for some reason, my application is not doing this.
Any pointer is greatly appreciated.
