Over one million Amazon Sellers worldwide use apps built with Selling Partner APIs to automate their businesses. Join the growing community of developers using our API to power their Amazon applications
What is Selling Partner API (SP-API)?
The Selling Partner API (SP-API) is a REST-based API that helps Amazon selling partners programmatically access their data on orders, shipments, payments, and much more. Applications using the SP-API can increase selling efficiency, reduce labor requirements, and improve response time to customers, helping selling partners grow their businesses.
Amazon's Selling Partner API can be used for both Selling Partners and Vendors, and is designed to improve efficiency and aid in accelerating growth.
SP-API brings substantial time savings to the organization. Before SP-API, [managing] product data or price and inventory was a manual Excel file drag and drop.
