SP-API General FAQ

No. If you register as a developer in the Solution Provider Portal, you don't need a professional selling account to develop or integrate with the SP-API. For more information, refer to SP-API Registration Overview.

We recommend using the latest API version. Latest versions address previous technical issues and include improvements. Older versions are eventually deprecated.

You can use the interactive API references to get example requests and responses. In the left navigation bar, choose an SP-API operation; example requests and responses are located in the rightmost pane.

Refer to the Vendor Direct Fulfillment APIs Use Case Guide and the Vendor Retail Procurement Use Case Guide.

For the latest supported SDK versions and tutorials for integration, refer to SP-API SDKs.

SP-API uses the following GitHub repositories:

• selling-partner-api-models: Contains Swagger models that developers can use to create software that calls SP-APIs. Developers can use swagger codegen to generate client libraries from these models.
• selling-partner-api-samples: Contains sample code in various programming languages for use cases that are supported by SP-API.

You can find the status for all the SP-APIs in the SP-API Health Dashboard.

For all upcoming changes, updates, and deprecations SP-API publishes announcements.You can subscribe to the SP-API announcements RSS feed.
