PA-API 5 Deprecation Notice
The Amazon Product Advertising API 5.0 (PA-API 5) has been deprecated and is being replaced by the Creators API. New and existing integrations should move to the Creators API to continue accessing Amazon's product catalog.
What this means
PA-API 5 is no longer the recommended way to access Amazon's product catalog.
The Creators API is the supported successor and receives all new features and ongoing improvements.
If your application still calls PA-API 5, plan your migration to the Creators API to avoid disruption.
What you'll see if you still call PA-API 5
Applications that continue to call PA-API 5 receive an HTTP 403 Forbidden response with an AccessDeniedException:
HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
{
"__type": "com.amazon.paapi5#AccessDeniedException",
"Errors": [
{
"Code": "AccessDenied",
"Message": "Product Advertising API is deprecated. Please migrate to Creators API using the migration guide at https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/creatorsapi/docs/en-us/migrating-to-creatorsapi-from-paapi."
}
]
}If you see this response, your integration is calling the deprecated PA-API 5 endpoint and must be migrated to the Creators API.
