Tokens API v2021-03-01 Reference

Call the Tokens API to get a Restricted Data Token (RDT) for restricted resources.

Overview

The Selling Partner API for Tokens provides a secure way to access a customer's PII (Personally Identifiable Information). You can call the Tokens API to get a Restricted Data Token (RDT) for one or more restricted resources that you specify. The RDT authorizes subsequent calls to restricted operations that correspond to the restricted resources that you specified.

For more information, see the Tokens API Use Case Guide.

Operation: createRestrictedDataToken

Description

Returns a Restricted Data Token (RDT) for one or more restricted resources that you specify. A restricted resource is the HTTP method and path from a restricted operation that returns Personally Identifiable Information (PII), plus a dataElements value that indicates the type of PII requested. See the Tokens API Use Case Guide for a list of restricted operations. Use the RDT returned here as the access token in subsequent calls to the corresponding restricted operations.

Usage Plan:

The x-amzn-RateLimit-Limit response header returns the usage plan rate limits that were applied to the requested operation, when available. The table above indicates the default rate and burst values for this operation. Selling partners whose business demands require higher throughput may see higher rate and burst values than those shown here. For more information, see Usage Plans and Rate Limits in the Selling Partner API.
