Guides · Amazon
Amazon's own product API is for its affiliates. The Product Advertising API 5.0 is deprecated and replaced by the Creators API, which Amazon opens to Associates with at least 10 qualifying sales in the past 30 days, starting at one request per second. The Selling Partner API is for sellers and vendors working with their own business data.

If you earn affiliate commission by linking to Amazon products, use the Creators API: it is built for that, its links carry your tag, and Amazon's policies tie showing ratings and reviews on your site to links obtained through it. If you sell on Amazon, the Selling Partner API covers your own orders, inventory, shipping and payments.
If you need to track prices, ranks or reviews across products you do not sell, without an affiliate business behind you, a product data API is the practical route.
Price, deal and Prime flags, stock, rating, best-sellers rank and seller for up to ten ASINs per call.
Search results where every hit is a full product card with its rank, price, rating and seller.
Customer review text, rating, date, verified purchase and helpful votes.
Amazon says PA-API 5.0 has been deprecated and replaced by the Creators API, and that applications still calling PA-API 5 receive an HTTP 403 response.
One request per second and 8,640 a day to start, then more as your shipped revenue grows, up to ten per second, per Amazon's API rates page as of October 2026.
Customer review text is not among the resources the Creators API reference lists. Here, the reviews operation returns review text, rating, date and verified-purchase flag.
