Amazon MWS API Information

Amazon Marketplace Web Service (Amazon MWS) is an integrated Web service API that helps Amazon sellers programmatically exchange data on listings, orders, payments, reports, and more. XML data integration with Amazon enables higher levels of selling automation, which helps sellers grow their businesses. By using Amazon MWS, sellers can increase selling efficiency, reduce labour requirements, and improve response time to customers.

API

Description

Feeds

The Amazon MWS Feeds API section of the Amazon Marketplace Web Service API lets you upload inventory and order data to Amazon. You can also use the Amazon MWS Feeds API section to get information about the processing of feeds.

Finances

The Finances API section of Amazon Marketplace Web Service enables you to obtain financial information relevant to your business with Amazon. You can obtain financial events for a given order, financial event group, or date range without having to wait until a settlement period closes. You can also obtain financial event groups for a given date range.

Fulfillment Inbound Shipment

With the Fulfillment Inbound Shipment API section of Amazon Marketplace Web Service (Amazon MWS), you can create and update inbound shipments of inventory in the Amazon Fulfillment Network. You can also request lists of inbound shipments or inbound shipment items based on criteria that you specify. 

Fulfillment Inventory

The Fulfillment Inventory API section lets you see what is available in your inventory. It's a real-time reporting mechanism that returns your current or recently-changed inventory supply in the Amazon fulfillment network

Fulfillment Outbound Shipment

The Fulfillment Outbound Shipment API section is designed to help you integrate Fulfillment by Amazon with any payment processing application or inventory management system currently in use. The service does not receive any payment information from your sales. Rather, you use the Fulfillment Outbound Shipment API operations to tell the Amazon Fulfillment Network to ship a set of items to a recipient. Use the outbound section if you sell on a channel other than Amazon, or if you require fulfillment for something other than a sale (samples, gifts, or rewards).

Merchant Fulfillment

The Merchant Fulfillment API section of Amazon Marketplace Web Service provides programmatic access to Amazon’s fulfillment shipping services for sellers, including competitive rates with Amazon-partnered carriers. Sellers can find out what shipping services are available by submitting information about a proposed fulfillment shipment, such as package size and weight; shipment origin and destination; and delivery date requirements. Sellers can choose from the shipping service options returned by Amazon, and then receive shipping labels for fulfilling their orders.

Orders

The Orders API section of Amazon MWS helps you build simple applications that retrieve only the order information that you need. This enables you to develop fast, flexible, custom applications in areas like order synchronization, order research, and demand-based decision support tools.

Products

The Products API section of Amazon MWS helps you get information to match your products to existing product listings on Amazon Marketplace websites and to make sourcing and pricing decisions for listing those products on Amazon Marketplace websites. The Products API returns product attributes, current Marketplace pricing information, and a variety of other product and listing information.

Recommendations

The Recommendations API section of Amazon MWS enables you to programmatically retrieve Amazon Selling Coach recommendations by recommendation category. A recommendation is an actionable, timely, and personalized opportunity to increase your sales and performance. 

Reports

The Reports API section of the Amazon Marketplace Web Service (Amazon MWS) API lets you request various reports that help you manage your Sell on Amazon business. Report types are specified using the ReportTypes enumeration.

Sellers

The Sellers API section of Amazon MWS lets you list all the marketplaces that you participate in and provides detailed information about those marketplaces. This API section allows you to develop custom applications to manage participating in multiple marketplaces.

Subscriptions

The Amazon MWS Subscriptions API section enables you to subscribe to receive notifications that are relevant to your business with Amazon. With the operations in the Subscriptions API section, you can register to receive important information from Amazon without having to poll the Amazon MWS service.
