Manual for Amazon Listing API

The Selling Partner API for Listings Items (Listings Items API) provides programmatic access to selling partner listings on Amazon. Use this Amazon Listing API in collaboration with the Selling Partner API for Product Type Definitions. This you can use to retrieve the information about Amazon product types needed to use the Listings Items API.
