Interested in using the Product Advertising API, but…

I just signed up for an Amazon Affiliates account, with the intention of using the amazon products API. I am building a website that I want to pull images, descriptions and prices.

But in order to access the API I need be approved first, which includes making 3x sales with your affiliate link.

I would rather skip this and start developing with the API, Is there anyway to get around this?

Thanks in advance!
