What is the easiest way to use the Amazon Product API on the Google App Engine? How do you work around the socket limitations of Google App Engine?
Are you using the REST API ? If it's purely a REST API, you should be able to make calls using the urlfetch service.
What have you tried so far, and what errors has it given you?
Also, are you using the Java or Python version of App Engine?
I'm using this library together with Beautiful Soup on App Engine. Had no problems so far.
This basic Amazon Product API module is compatible with Google App Engine.

As i get to know that GAE has lot of limitations.
Please suggest me for the structure design of an Enterprise project with

Google APIs does not require your application to be running on Google App Engine unless of course you’re trying to use an App Engine specific API like this.
If you’re seeking suggestions on how to structure your project using Google App Engine, you may want to do so in official App Engine Google Group as such questions can be considered too broad on stackoverflow.
I've started developing for GAE (Google App Engine) and I want to build a REST API using Google Cloud SQL. I currently have a web app in App Engine that works well with Google Cloud SQL but I need to build an API to provide REST services for Android and iOS or any other technology capable of consume web-services.
I've read many docs in Google about Mobile Backend Starter, Endpoints, etc. I'm not pretty sure how to integrate with my existing Cloud SQL Database. I think I'm almost near to get what I need.
If someone knows a tutorial or documentation to achieve what I need, please share it in here.
Thanks!
I've found what I needed!
If anyone tries to implement Google Cloud Endpoints using Google Cloud SQL, Python with Django, please follow this tutorial You will be able to build a RESTful API with your existing Django Models.
Also, here's a Youtube Video from GDL which explains very well how to use ProtoRPC for Python and build your Google Cloud Enpoints APIs. ProtoRPC is a framework for implementing HTTP-based remote procedure call (RPC) service.
I am trying Python quickstart project (https://developers.google.com/glass/develop/mirror/quickstart/python) and it is implemented on GAE, however, looking at the code it does not seem that there is much dependency on App Engine itself (code is kind of complicated and I still do not understand it all though).
Is this required to host Mirror-based glassware on App Engine?
Is this required to host Mirror-based glassware on App Engine?
No, it is not required. What you really need is ability to use Google API's and Mirror API is just one of them.
Java quick start, for example does not run on top of GAE.
Is there more comprehensive sample of creating Google App Engine App using GData Python Library to interact with Picasa Web Album, other than google guide from GAE here: http://code.google.com/apis/picasaweb/docs/1.0/developers_guide_python.html
For getting started with GAE and GData, you can take a look at:
http://code.google.com/appengine/articles/python/retrieving_gdata_feeds.html
You should be able to update the samples code there to use PhotosService instead of DocClient.
I've been wondering: does Google uses AppEngine for its own products?
Yes.
Google's app engine is a consumer-facing front-end for the same server resources that google uses internally.
None of the major world-facing google products DIRECTLY use app engine through the API, but many internal tools built by googlers for googlers do use it, including all the limitations that are placed on the public.
Run corporate applications on Google App Engine? Yes [they] do.
