Connecting to the Selling Partner API Using a Generated Java SDK

How to connect to the SP-API using a generated Java SDK.

Before your application can connect to the Selling Partner API, you must register it, and it must be authorized by a selling partner. Refer to Registering your application and Authorizing Selling Partner API applications.

These instructions show you how to use a generated Java SDK to make calls. The SDK exposes classes for configuring your Login with Amazon (LWA) credentials and uses them to generate LWA tokens and sign requests for you. For more information, refer to Generating a Java SDK with LWA token exchange.

Step 1. Configure your LWA credentials

Create an instance of LWAAuthorizationCredentials, using the following parameters:

NameDescriptionRequired
clientIdYour LWA client identifier. For more information, refer to Viewing your developer information.Yes
clientSecretYour LWA client secret. For more information, refer to Viewing your developer information.Yes
refreshTokenThe LWA refresh token. Get this value when the selling partner authorizes your application. For more information, refer to Authorizing Selling Partner API applications.

No. Include refreshToken if the operation that you call in the following step requires selling partner authorization. All operations that are not grantless operations require selling partner authorization. If you include refreshToken, do not include withScopes.

withScopes

The scope of the LWA authorization grant. Takes the value ScopeNotificationsAPI for the Notifications API.

No. Include withScopes if the operation that you call in the following step is a grantless operation. If you include withScopes, do not include refreshToken.
endpointThe LWA authentication server URI.Yes

Example for calling operations that require selling partner authorization:

import com.amazon.SellingPartnerAPIAA.LWAAuthorizationCredentials;

LWAAuthorizationCredentials lwaAuthorizationCredentials = LWAAuthorizationCredentials.builder()
  .clientId("myClientId")
  .clientSecret("myClientSecret")
  .refreshToken("Aztr|...")
  .endpoint("https://api.amazon.com/auth/o2/token")
  .build();

Example for calling grantless operations:

import com.amazon.SellingPartnerAPIAA.LWAAuthorizationCredentials;
import static com.amazon.SellingPartnerAPIAA.ScopeConstants.SCOPE_NOTIFICATIONS_API;
import static com.amazon.SellingPartnerAPIAA.ScopeConstants.SCOPE_MIGRATION_API;

LWAAuthorizationCredentials lwaAuthorizationCredentials =
  LWAAuthorizationCredentials.builder()
  .clientId("myClientId")
  .clientSecret("myClientSecret")
  .withScopes(SCOPE_NOTIFICATIONS_API, SCOPE_MIGRATION_API)
  .endpoint("https://api.amazon.com/auth/o2/token")
  .build();

Step 2. Create an instance of the Sellers API and call an operation

With your LWAAuthorizationCredentials instances configured you can create an instance of SellersApi and call an operation.

Example:

SellersApi sellersApi = new SellersApi.Builder()
  .lwaAuthorizationCredentials(lwaAuthorizationCredentials)
  .endpoint("https://sellingpartnerapi-na.amazon.com")
  .build();
