Hi All,
We are making updates to the Amazon API Services Developer Agreement, Data Protection Policy (DPP), and Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). These updates will go into effect on August 22, 2022.

Starting September 12, 2022, we will accept books related listings only in the ABIS_BOOK product type. The following seven legacy book product types will be deprecated:

On July 21st, 2022, Amazon published the Selling Partner Reports API on the AWS Cloud Quick Start Deployment Guide for the Selling Partner API (SP-API). This QuickStart helps developers create an event-driven architecture in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud that automates the SP-API report creation and retrieval and implements a notifications mechanism for an optimized solution. The deployed architecture includes all the infrastructure required by the Notifications API in order to receive and process report processing finished notifications, as well as ten other notification types. The functionality is exposed via Amazon API Gateway endpoints that can be easily connected to the developers’ application, and includes security best practices for credential management that can be reused outside of the scope of the Quick Start too.

Amazon will only accept shipment confirmation that includes a CarrierCode value for all seller-fulfilled orders using Bulk feeds, APIs, or integrations. This change goes into effect for the following marketplaces on these dates:

Amazon Marketplace Web Service (MWS) will no longer be available starting December 31st, 2023 April 1st, 2024.

Effective August 31, 2022, we will be adjusting the rates across select API operations within the Catalog Items API, Product Fees API, and Product Pricing API. These adjustments will lower the rates of the 1x1 APIs. We encourage you to call the equivalent batch APIs for use cases requiring a higher volume of data.

As a reminder, effective June 15, 2022, the _GET_MERCHANT_LISTINGS_DEFECT_DATA_ and _LISTINGS_DEFECT_REPORT_XL_ reports will no longer be available in MWS or Selling Partner API. The replacement report _GET_MERCHANTS_LISTINGS_FYP_REPORT_ is currently available in MWS and SP-API. Please plan to move to this new report prior to June 15, 2022 if you wish to continue to access data about your suppressed listings.

Updated May 20, 2022 for minor correction to report type category

MWS and SP-API experienced anomalies on the notifications platform and the REPORT_PROCESSING_FINISHED notifications in the NA region may not have been delivered during 05/13 09:00 UTC to 05/13 12:15 UTC.

Developers with applications that use the Merchant Fulfillment API should be aware that DHL ship methods are now available to selling partners in the EU marketplace. Selling partners may contact developers for support to set up DHL ship methods for their Amazon business, especially for Seller Fulfilled Prime and Buy Shipping.
