Determining if you're in the "BuyBox" or a Featured Merchant via API
Is there a way to determine if we are the (or a) "featured merchant" for a given product? Preferably with the MWS API vice the Advertising API.

I know this is doable via the Product Advertising API but the most products you can check in a given request is 10 and the throttling limits for that API seem somewhat strict (especially if you have 50,000+ ASINs). 

We've used a "re-pricing" service to handle this (but would like to roll the functionality into our own application for managing our products) so I know it's possible to get the data for high volumes of products in a timely manner but I can't figure out how.


**Aside:**

As I understand it Amazon tightened down the Advertising API due to a lot of abuse without any real sales. I figured there might be a way to accomplish this via MWS without the restrictions given MWS actually makes Amazon money.
