Manual for Amazon Listing API

The Amazon APIs (Listings Items API and A+ API) provide programmatic access to selling partner listings and enhanced content on Amazon. 

Use 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.

Icecat SP API (Listings API) connection allows pushing the product content stored in Icecat catalog. This includes product images, technical specifications, marketing text, bullet points, and SEO keywords to a customer inventory catalog in both Amazon Vendor / Seller Central.

Icecat A+ API allows pushing the A+ Content created in Icecat Studio to Amazon VC and product detail pages.

To give permission to Icecat to act as a CSP (Content Service Provider) and perform data submissions to Amazon on behalf of a client, please strictly follow the website authorization flow below. We describe this step-by-step below.
