Amazon Listings APIs | Simply explained

Listings APIs

The Listings APIs is a modern suite of selling partner APIs designed for vendors, sellers, and third-party catalog service providers to automate listing workflows on Amazon. These APIs help efficiently manage product listings, reduce errors in catalog management, and enhance business performance by providing building block functionalities.

Key Features

  • Product Type Definitions API: Allows retrieval of Amazon product type definitions, outlining necessary attributes and data for catalog items.
  • Listings Items API: Supports creation, editing, and deletion of Amazon listings, managing product details and sales terms.
  • Catalog Items API: Fetches information about items in the Amazon catalog, including ASIN data, item identifiers, and product types.
  • Notifications API: Allows subscription to notifications about changes in product statuses or type definitions.

The APIs support direct integration or use via catalog service providers. Direct integration offers greater customization but requires technical resources and ongoing maintenance. Providers may simplify the process by handling integration and updates in exchange for service fees.

Implemented across all Amazon stores worldwide, excluding books and media, these APIs empower vendors to streamline processes and maintain compliance with Amazon’s standards.
