How to access more than 10 products in Amazon mws via ListMatchingProducts API using node.js

Question

I am using node.js(Meteor) for calling Amazon MWS ListMatchingProducts API for getting all products of my seller account . Its running sucessfully and i am getting the response , but as the documentation said that only ten(10) products are returned at one time. So i just want to know how we get products more than 10 . In the doc Amazon also said that you can submit NextToken with a "ByNextToken" operation to request additional pages.But i am not getting any nextToken or related to that nextToken field on my response.So how do i get the nextToken from there side or how can i get more than 10 products from that API. As i also check on one post they said that we need to use Reports for that but i want to use ListMatchingProducts API for that and want result more than 10.

Please provide me any suggestion or guidance how can i achieve that.

Any help would be appriciated Thanks

You want to call the Reports API using the Inventory Report report type or one of the other Listing Report types. That is the way to go. The ListMatchingProductsoperation of the Products API is meant to be a search, based on a query. Yes, it only lists ten products but it does not give you a NextToken like some of the other operations. Knowing your Report Type and Marketplace ID, you can submit those to the Reports API with your credentials and get back all of your products all at once and there is no searching involved.

What I would also suggest is to use the Amazon Scratchpad to play around with your operations to make sure you get what you expect, then plug it into your node.js project.
