The Amazon Selling Partner API (SP-API) is the modern REST-based API that enables Amazon sellers, vendors, and third-party developers to programmatically access Seller Central data and operations including catalog management, orders, inventory, pricing, fulfillment, reports, finances, notifications, and advertising. SP-API uses Login with Amazon (LWA) OAuth 2.0 access tokens for authentication and replaces the legacy Amazon Marketplace Web Service (MWS).
