FBA Inventory API v1 Use Case Guide

The FBA Inventory API lets you track the real-time availability of your inventory in Amazon's fulfillment network at the marketplace level. You can get details such as listing condition and inventory quantities such as:

• Fulfillable
• Inbound
• Reserved
• Unfulfillable
• Researching

This API is available in all marketplaces.

Tutorial: Get inventory summaries

This tutorial describes how to use the getInventorySummaries operation to retrieve inventory summaries in three different ways:

• With all inventory summaries and all available detail
• With only the inventory summaries that have changed after the date and time specified
• With inventory summaries for only the specified seller SKUs.

Prerequisites

To complete this tutorial, you need:

• Approval for the Product Listing role in your developer profile.
• The Product Listing role selected on the App registration page for your application.

Step 1a. Get all available inventory summaries with all available detail

Call the getInventorySummaries operation of the FBA Inventory API without using the startDateTime or sellerSkus query parameters.

Step 1b. Get all available inventory summaries that have changed

Call the getInventorySummaries operation with the startDateTime parameter.

📘

Note

startDateTime is required to get the next page of inventory summaries that have changed after the date and time specified.

Note that the default value of the detail parameter in the request is false, which causes the response to omit additional summarized inventory details.

Step 1c. Get inventory summaries for the specified seller SKUs

Call the getInventorySummaries operation with the sellerSkus query parameter populated with a list of up to 50 SKUs for which you want to retrieve details.
