What is the Amazon API?

This API provides access to Amazon Seller Central Forums through 2 endpoints, returning discussion summaries and full thread content including replies. The search_discussions endpoint supports free-text search, date range filtering, sort order, and cursor-based pagination. The get_thread endpoint returns the original post body, reply objects with vote counts, view count, author usernames, and Amazon staff reply indicators for any thread UUID.

Python SDK · recommended

Typed, relational, agent-ready

A generated client with real types, enums, and the links between objects — the structure a flat JSON response can't carry. Autocompletes in your editor and reads cleanly to coding agents.

  • Objects link to objects
  • Typed errors & pagination

Typed Python client. Set up the SDK in your uv project, then pull this API’s typed client:

About the Amazon API

Endpoints

The search_discussions endpoint returns a paginated list of forum discussion summaries. You can pass a search_term to filter by keyword (e.g., 'FBA shipping'), a date_range to scope results to a time window, a sort_by value to control ordering, and a replies_filter to narrow by reply status. Each response includes a discussions array, a total_count (which may be approximate), and a next_page_token string you pass unchanged to fetch the next page. Pages return up to 50 results when limit is set to its maximum.

Thread Detail

The get_thread endpoint takes a thread_id UUID — obtained from search_discussions results — and returns the full thread. Response fields include title, author, content (HTML), created_at (Unix timestamp in milliseconds), up_votes, down_votes, view_count, and a tags array. The replies array covers top-level replies from the initial page, each carrying post_id, content, author, created_at, up_votes, down_votes, reply_count, is_amazon_replied, and reply_to_id.

Reply Depth and Pagination

The get_thread endpoint returns approximately 8 top-level replies per call, reflecting the first page of replies as loaded for a given thread. Nested replies (children of top-level replies) are indicated via reply_to_id and reply_count fields but are not recursively fetched by this endpoint. The is_amazon_replied field on each reply object flags whether an Amazon staff member contributed to that branch of the thread.

Reliability & maintenanceVerified

The Amazon API is a managed, monitored endpoint for sellercentral.amazon.com — not a raw scraper you maintain. Every endpoint is automatically health-checked on a schedule, and when sellercentral.amazon.com changes and a check fails, the API is automatically queued for repair and re-verified. It is built to keep working as the site underneath it changes.

This isn't an official sellercentral.amazon.com API — it's an independent, maintained REST wrapper over public data. Where the source has no official API (or only a limited one), Parse gives you a stable contract over a source that never promised one, and keeps it current. Need a new endpoint or field? You can revise it yourself in plain English and the agent rebuilds it against the live site in minutes — contributing the change back to the shared API is free.

Maintenance
Monitored & self-healing
Will this API break when the source site changes?+
It's built not to. Every endpoint is health-checked on a schedule with automated test probes. When the source site changes and a check fails, the API is automatically queued for repair and re-verified — that's the self-healing layer. Each API page shows when its endpoints were last verified. And because marketplace APIs are shared, any fix reaches everyone using it.
Is this an official API from the source site?+
No — Parse APIs are independent, managed REST wrappers over publicly available data. That is the point: where a site has no official API (or only a limited one), Parse gives you a maintained, monitored endpoint for that data and keeps it working as the site changes — so you get a stable contract over a source that never promised one.
Can I fix or extend this API myself if I need a new endpoint or field?+
Yes — and you don't have to wait on us. This API was generated by the Parse agent, which stays attached. Describe the change in plain English ("add an endpoint that returns reviews", "fix the price field") in the revise box on the API page or via the revise_api MCP tool, and the agent rebuilds it against the live site in minutes. Contributing the change back to the public API is free.
What happens if I call an endpoint that has an issue?+
Errors are machine-readable: a bad call returns a clean status with the list of available endpoints and a repair hint, so an agent (or you) can recover or trigger a fix instead of failing silently. Confirmed failures feed the automatic repair queue.
Common use cases
  • Monitor seller community discussions about FBA policy changes using search_term and date_range filters
  • Identify threads with no replies using replies_filter to find unanswered seller questions
  • Track which forum threads have received Amazon staff responses via the is_amazon_replied field
  • Aggregate vote data (up_votes, down_votes) across threads to surface the most contested seller topics
  • Build a digest of high-view_count threads to surface trending seller concerns
  • Extract thread tags arrays to categorize discussions by topic area for content analysis
  • Feed seller troubleshooting content into internal knowledge bases using content fields from get_thread

Frequently asked questions
Does Amazon Seller Central have an official developer API for forum data?+
Amazon provides the Selling Partner API (SP-API) at developer.amazonservices.com for marketplace operations like orders, inventory, and listings, but it does not expose Seller Central Forums discussion data. This API covers that gap.
What does `get_thread` return for replies, and are nested replies included?+
The get_thread endpoint returns up to approximately 8 top-level replies from the first page of a thread. Each reply object includes content, author, created_at, up_votes, down_votes, reply_count, is_amazon_replied, and reply_to_id. Nested replies (children of top-level replies) are not recursively fetched; reply_count and reply_to_id indicate their presence but the content is not included in the response.
Does the API support paginating through all replies in a long thread?+
Not currently. The get_thread endpoint returns only the first page of replies, roughly 8 top-level items. Cursor-based pagination is available in search_discussions via next_page_token, but reply pagination within a thread is not exposed. You can fork the API on Parse and revise it to add a replies-pagination endpoint.
How current is the forum data returned by `search_discussions`?+
The date_range filter lets you scope results to recent windows such as the past year, but there is no documented real-time freshness guarantee. The total_count field in search results may also be approximate rather than exact.
Can I retrieve seller profile pages or reputation data for forum authors?+
Not currently. The API returns the author username string in both discussion summaries and reply objects, but no further profile data — badges, post history, or account standing — is exposed. You can fork the API on Parse and revise it to add a seller profile endpoint.
