A+ Content API Use Case Guide

Create and edit A+ content.

API Version: 2020-11-01

What is the A+ Content API?

The Selling Partner API for A+ Content (A+ Content API) helps you build applications that enable selling partners to create and edit A+ content. This provides buyers with rich, high-quality content to help them make purchasing decisions.

Tutorial: Create and edit A+ content and publish it to your ASINs

This tutorial shows you how to create a new content document, add ASINs to the content document, and get the content document approved for publication.

Prerequisites

To complete this tutorial, you must have the following:

  • Authorization from the selling partner for whom you are making calls. Refer to Authorizing Selling Partner API applications for more information.
  • The Product Listing role assigned to your developer profile.
  • The Product Listing role selected in the App registration page for your application.
  • One or more ASINs to which you would like to publish content.
  • Content that you want to publish.

Check existing A+ content

Before creating and publishing new A+ content, you can get information about the content documents that a selling partner has already created and published.

Tasks

  1. Find out which content documents are published to an ASIN
  2. Get all of the content documents created by the selling partner

Find out which content documents are published to an ASIN

Call the searchContentPublishRecords operation to get a list of publishing records for content documents that the selling partner has already published to an ASIN. The selling partner can use this information to decide if they want to publish a new content document to that ASIN.

  1. Call the searchContentPublishRecords operation, passing the following parameters:

Query parameters:

ParameterDescriptionRequired
asin

The Amazon Standard Identification Number (ASIN).

Type: string

Yes
marketplaceId

The identifier for the marketplace where the A+ content is published.

Type: string

Yes

Request example:

GET https://sellingpartnerapi-na.amazon.com/aplus/2020-11-01/contentPublishRecords?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&asin=ZZZZZZZZZZ

Response

NameDescription
publishRecordListThe list of A+ content publishing records.

Type: PublishRecordList
warningsA set of messages to the user, such as warnings or comments.

Type: MessageSet

Type: string

Response example:

{
  "warnings": [],
  "nextPageToken": null,
  "publishRecordList": [{
      "marketplaceId": "ATVPDKIKX0DER",

Create a content document

Creating a content document is a multi-step process that begins with constructing a content document.

Tasks

  1. Construct a JSON content document
  2. Create upload destinations for images
  3. Upload images
  4. Submit the content document for validation
  5. Create a content document
  6. Add ASINs to the content document

Construct a JSON content document

Construct a JSON content document, based on the ContentDocument definition in the A+ Content API reference. Refer to Content document example in the "A+ Content Examples" guide for an example of a content document and examples of content modules.

Content documents are composed of one or more content modules. Content documents for selling partners can contain up to seven modules, while content documents for vendors can contain up to five content modules.

ContentDocument definition:

NameDescriptionSchema
name
required		The A+ Content document name.
minLength : 1
maxLength : 100		string
contentType
required		The A+ Content document type.ContentType
contentSubType
optional		The A+ Content document subtype. This represents a special-purpose type of an A+ Content document. Not every A+ Content document type will have a subtype, and subtypes can change at any time.ContentSubType
locale
required		The IETF language tag. This only supports the primary language subtag with one secondary language subtag. The secondary language subtag is almost always a regional designation. This does not support additional subtags beyond the primary and secondary subtags.
Pattern: ^[a-z]{2,}-[A-Z0-9]{2,}$		LanguageTag
contentModuleList
required		A list of A+ content modules.ContentModuleList

}

Check for errors. If you receive an error, correct the error and retry. Repeat until you receive no errors.

📘

Note

A 200 status code in the response means that Amazon ran a validation on your content document, not that your content document passed validation. Your content document has passed validation when the validateContentDocumentAsinRelations operation returns no errors.

Get the ASINs that are related to a content document

If you need to find out which ASINs are related to a content document for the purposes of evaluating, adding, or removing ASINs from the content document, use the listContentDocumentAsinRelations operation. To get metadata for the purpose of sorting and evaluating ASINs, specify includedDataSet=METADATA. To reduce processing time when the list of ASINs is known (for example, to check ASIN status for potential errors after publishing content documents), specify the ASINs using the asinSet parameter.

  1. Call the listContentDocumentAsinRelations, passing in the following parameters:

Path parameter:

ParameterDescriptionRequired
contentReferenceKey

The unique reference key for the A+ Content document. A content reference key cannot form a permalink and can change in the future. A content reference key is not guaranteed to match any A+ content identifier. Get this value from Task 5. Create a content document.

Add or remove ASINs from a content document

Call the postContentDocumentAsinRelations operation to add or remove ASINs from a content document.
