Orders API v0 Use Case Guide

API Version: v0

What is the Orders API?

Use the Orders API to programmatically retrieve and submit order information. This API is designed to help Selling Partners develop fast and flexible custom applications that facilitate order synchronization, order research, and demand-based decision support tools.

📘

Note

Orders more than two years old will not show in the API response, except for the SG, JP, and AU marketplaces, which support orders from 2016 and after.

For information on authentication and authorization, refer to Authorizing Selling Partner API Applications.

Key features

• Retrieve orders information with filtering criteria: The getOrders operation of the Orders API returns orders created or updated during the time frame or other filtering criteria indicated by the specified parameters. If NextToken is present, it is used to retrieve the orders instead of other criteria.
• Retrieve specified order information: The getOrder operation of the Orders API returns order information that you specify.
• Retrieve order item information for the specified order: The getOrderItems operation of the Orders API returns detailed order item information for the order that you specify. If NextToken is provided, it is used to retrieve the next page of order items.
• Confirm shipment for the specified order: The confirmShipment operation of the Orders API confirms the shipment status for a specified order. It can also be used to edit shipment details of orders that have been shipped.

Tutorial 1: Retrieve orders information with filtering criteria

The getOrders operation of the Orders API returns orders created or updated during the time frame or other filtering criteria indicated by the specified parameters. If NextToken is present, that will be used to retrieve the orders instead of other criteria.

🚧

The getOrders operation has a systematic delay in data retrieval. Most updated orders data will be available 2 minutes after an order is created or last updated. To ensure that you retrieve the latest orders data, call the operation 2 minutes after the order is created or updated.

Tutorial 4: Confirm a shipment

This tutorial shows you how to confirm a shipment with the confirmShipment operation after you receive a notification that your order is ready to be fulfilled. You will not need to confirm the shipment if you purchase a shipping label through the Shipping API or buy-shipping UI. The confirmShipment operation supports all use cases that were supported in the Order Fulfillment Feeds, including supporting multiple tracking IDs per order. To submit multiple package tracking IDs, you will need to send multiple requests with the same order ID but different package reference IDs.

Example:

The package reference ID supports any positive numerical value and is meant for the purpose of editing a shipment after you have confirmed a shipment. You can submit any numerical value as packageReferenceID and we will store the data. If you need to make an edit to the shipment, submit another confirmShipment operation with the same packageReferenceID. The other shipment details will be edited upon successful submission. If you do not put any ID when you submit, Amazon will automatically assign a packageReferenceID.

Prerequisites

To successfully complete this tutorial, you must have:

• Authorization from the selling partner for whom you are making calls. Refer to the Authorizing Selling Partner API applications for more information.
• Approval for the Inventory and Order Tracking role in your developer profile.
• The Inventory and Order Tracking role selected in the App registration page for your application.

If you have been approved for the Direct-to-Consumer Delivery (Restricted) role, you will have access to the confirmShipmentoperation.
