Update: Listings Items API v2021-08-01 now supports previewing errors
January 31st, 2024 by JackE_Amazon
The putListingsItem and patchListingsItem operations of the Listings Items API v2021-08-01 will validate a listings item without persisting the data in the catalog when the request includes the mode=VALIDATION_PREVIEW query parameter.
You can use this feature to preview listing errors in production without creating listings. This feature is available to both vendors and sellers.
Note: Both the putListingsItem and patchListingsItem operations have a throttling rate of one request per second when mode is VALIDATION_PREVIEW.
To learn more about this change, refer to the Listings Items API v2021-08-01 reference and the Tutorial: Preview errors before creating or fully updating a listing.
