Question 1

Which Amazon marketplace is supported?

Accepted Answer

Amazon US (amazon.com). All prices are returned in USD.

Question 2

How fresh is the data?

Accepted Answer

Product details, prices, search results and keyword rankings are retrieved from Amazon in real time, at the moment you make the request. Data that changes slowly, such as reviews, Best Sellers lists and categories, may be served from cache for faster responses. Every response tells you whether the data is live or cached, and when it was retrieved.

Question 3

What can I use to look up a product?

Accepted Answer

An ASIN (e.g. B09B8V1LZ3) or a full Amazon product URL. If you only have a barcode, the lookup endpoint finds the ASIN from a UPC, EAN, ISBN or GTIN.

Question 4

Why is the price sometimes null?

Accepted Answer

When a product is out of stock or has no featured offer, Amazon doesn’t show a buy box price. The availability status explains why, for example out_of_stock or no_featured_offer.

Question 5

How are requests counted?

Accepted Answer

Every call to any endpoint counts as one request against your plan.

Question 6

Can I fetch many products at once?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The batch endpoint returns up to 10 products in a single call. For larger lists, the async batch endpoint accepts up to 50 ASINs and returns a job ID you can check for results.

Question 7

What happens if a request fails?

Accepted Answer

Every error comes with a clear error code and a retryable flag that tells you whether trying again makes sense. Each response also has a unique request ID. Include it when contacting support so we can trace the request.

Question 8

Are sponsored products included in search results?

Accepted Answer

No. Search returns the organic results Amazon shows for your keyword. Sponsored ad placements are left out.
