What is the Selling Partner API

AmazonSPAPI

The Selling Partner API (SP-API) is a REST-based API that helps Amazon selling partners programmatically access their data on orders, shipments, payments, and much more. Applications using the SP-API can increase selling efficiency, reduce labor requirements, and improve response time to customers, helping selling partners grow their businesses.

  • Set up an OAuth authorization workflow that selling partners initiate from the Amazon Partner Network detail page or from your own website.

  • Generate an SDK that can help you with LWA token exchange and authentication.

  • Test your applications by making calls to a sandbox environment.

You need only one set of developer credentials (your AWS access key ID and AWS secret access key) to make calls to any SP-API endpoint, as long as the endpoint is for the same region as the selling partner who authorized your application.
