Catalog Items API v2020-12-01 Use Case Guide

How to use the Catalog Items API.

API Version: 2020-12-01

What is the Catalog Items API?

Using the Selling Partner API for Catalog Items (Catalog Items API), you can retrieve information about items in the Amazon catalog. Refer to the Catalog Items API Reference for details about API operations and associated data types and schemas.

Key Features

Retrieve Detailed Item Information: The Catalog Items API provides details about items in the Amazon catalog, such as summarized item details, product identifiers, sales rankings, variations, and thumbnail images. Vendors can retrieve additional vendor-specific details and brand owners of items can retrieve additional attributes and image content.
Search for Items: The Catalog Items API allows you to search the Amazon catalog for existing items using keywords, including product identifiers.

Terminology

ASIN: Amazon Standard Identification Number that identifies an item in the Amazon catalog.
Variation: Every color or size for a catalog item represents a variation that is assigned a different ASIN. They are grouped together as variations of one parent ASIN.

🚧
Handling generic JSON schemas in client libraries
If you have generated a client library, it is important to note that Swagger Codegen generates types based on properties defined in the Swagger models, and that Swagger Codegen will produce empty or incomplete types when an object is defined with additionalProperties: true. To handle such objects, use the --import-mappings command-line parameter to map these objects to a generic JSON object type or a custom object type of your choosing.
Example Swagger Codegen input parameters:
C#: --import-mappings ItemAttributes=Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JObject
Java: --import-mappings ItemAttributes=com.google.gson.JsonObject

Paging in the response to a search for items in the Amazon catalog

When a call to the searchCatalogItems operation produces a response that exceeds the pageSize, pagination occurs. This means the response is divided into individual pages, where each page is returned in successive calls. To retrieve the next page or the previous page, you must pass the nextToken value or the previousToken value as the pageToken parameter in the next request.

You get the first page of results when you call the searchCatalogItems operation and provide no page token. You then iterate through the rest of the pages using the nextToken page token provided in successive responses.

Page tokens are special values that are decoded to determine which page is requested and how many pages are before or after.

If the next or previous page is not available, the corresponding page token attribute (nextToken or previousToken respectively) will not be present in the pagination object.

Examples:

When the response does not exceed the pageSize, there is no pagination, so there is no nextToken or previousToken:

"pagination": {
},

When the response exceeds the pageSize and pagination occurs:

For the first page, there is no previous page, so there is no previousToken:

"pagination": {
  "nextToken": "XXXXXX"
},

For the last page, there is no next page, so there is no nextToken:

"pagination": {
  "previousToken": "XXXXXX"
},

For all other pages:

"pagination": {
  "nextToken": "XXXXXX",
  "previousToken": "XXXXXX"
},

📘
Note
Even though there can be more than 1000 ASINs that match the search criteria, the maximum number of results that can be returned and paged through is limited to 1000. For example, if the caller sets the pageSize to 10, the maximum number of possible pages is 100.
