While we are more than willing to help those that are stuck, that doesn't mean that we are here to do it all for you! We can't do all the work, you are either getting paid for this, or it's part of your grades and it wouldn't be at all fair for us to do it all for you.

So we need you to do the work, and we will help you when you get stuck. That doesn't mean we will give you a step by step solution you can hand in!
Start by explaining where you are at the moment, and what the next step in the process is. Then tell us what you have tried to get that next step working, and what happened when you did.

Personally I would start looking at this from the end and work backwards to the start

1. what information do I need to save after looking up the barcode?
2. how can I look this up on amazon? does Amazon give the information required?
3. how is the going to be run? service? front end etc?
4. who is going to run this?

doing these sort of steps would in my opinion help chose the right tool for the job
