I am unable to find any documentation on the MWS Orders API throttling rates.
Edit: The PDF files that used to be linked here seem to be gone. Links now go to the new HTML docs
The throttling algorithm is described in the MWS Developer Guide. The request quotas vary between APIs and calls.
The Products API has a separate page describing quotas:
MWS Products API Reference
All other APIs list quotas and recovery rates in their "Description" section of each call:
MWS Orders API Reference - Example ListOrders - Note there also is an older version of this API
MWS Sellers API Reference - Example ListMarketplaceParticipations
MWS Reports API Reference - Example RequestReport
MWS Feeds API Reference - Example SubmitFeed
MWS Inbound Shipment API Reference - Example GetInboundGuidanceForSKU
MWS Inventory API Reference - Example ListInventorySupply
MWS Outbound Shipment API Reference - Example GetFulfillmentPreview
MWS Finances API Reference - Example ListFinancialEventGroups
MWS Merchant Fulfillment API Reference - Example GetEligibleShippingServices
MWS Recommendations API Reference - Example GetLastUpdatedTimeForRecommendations
MWS Subscriptions API Reference - Example RegisterDestination
The throttling algorithm is described in the Orders API Documentation.
http://docs.developer.amazonservices.com/en_US/orders-2013-09-01/Orders_Overview.html
The request quotas vary between APIs and calls.
Here are some common calls and their relevant throttle limit as of December 2016.
The ListOrders and ListOrdersByNextToken operations together share a
maximum request quota of six and a restore rate of one request every
minute.
The GetOrder operation has a maximum request quota of six and a
restore rate of one request every minute.
The ListOrderItems and ListOrderItemsByNextToken operations together
share a maximum request quota of 30 and a restore rate of one request
every two seconds.

How can I update my subscription trial period for a monthly plan using rest API for react.
I have searched in the rest api section but didnt find any.
The Update Subscription API call allows patching the /plan/billing_cycles object. The details of what is possible are documented there so I'm not sure what your question is about.
We have a java client for downloading orders from Amazon MWS.
We use:
MaWSJavaClientLibrary-1.1.jar
MWSClientJavaRuntime-1.0.jar
MWSOrders_2013-09-01_v2020-10-20.jar
We download an xml with users data, with also shipping details (address, city, zipcode and so on...)
Begining from half 2020, we didn't receive customer name and address anymore. I mean that those 2 tags in xml were not passed anymore. We realized that something was changed in Amazon MWS for GDPR and security reasons.
We compiled a form online where we sent to amazon lots of informations about how we use those data.
However, we have not understand what we have to do in order to get those data again in xml.
Our client continues to work as usual, beu we continue to get xml without customer name and address.
Last email from amazon says:
Good morning,
thank you for your reply. As this issue is unrelated to your Developer Profile role assignments, we recommend that you review the information available in the links below for information on this topic.
Since the new API for Sales Partners (SP-API) is officially available, we are no longer issuing new credentials for MWS and are not updating existing MWS access roles. From now on, it is possible to develop applications in multiple regions with a single set of SP-API credentials.
More information on SP-API can be found here:
https://developer.amazonservices.it
SP-API documentation on GitHub: https://github.com/amzn/selling-partner-api-docs
If you still need assistance on this topic, you can submit a MWS or SP-API technical support request here: https://developer.amazonservices.it/gp/mws/contactus.html
Thank you for selling with Amazon.
is there anyone that had same problem and can help us to retrieve those information again please?
Thanks
in my current company we are using Salesforce and HubSpot, and we have synchronized Contacts and Leads.
HubSpot does around 7000-8000 daily api calls, but I do not know what is the frequency HubSpot connects to Salesforce, or if there are some ways to reduce this number.
Thanks.
Salesforce limits its API calls with the edition and licenses you have see this link
(https://help.salesforce.com/HTViewHelpDoc?id=integrate_api_rate_limiting.htm)
and for reducing the api calls from Hubspot end follow this link
(http://knowledge.hubspot.com/salesforce-integration-user-guide/how-to-adjust-your- salesforce-api-call-limit)
If you go over you're API call quota, Salesforce will send you an automated email letting you know of the overage.
The usage limit for the lowest edition of Salesforce is 15,000. If you're currently at 8k/day, I wouldn't worry yet.
I intend to develop a client for Amazon's Marketplace webservices (MWS). My requirements would be to update the order, synchronize the order status, get the order details using the APIs they have.
However, I could not find a Sandbox environment to test these scenarios. Amazon has a payment Sandbox I understand, but is there a sandbox available to test these web-services? If not, are there any pointers on how to go about testing the above mentioned scenarios with Amazon MWS?
UPDATE
As seen in the comments to this post, Amazon no longer provides a staging / test environment.
I just had a conversation via sellercentral ticket with an amazon employee.
They said:
We can provide you with a free Seller Central test account to be used in ungated categories only, which are the Amazon categories that do not require approval to sell in. For a list of ungated categories, please scroll down to the middle of the page here: http://www.amazonservices.com/content/sell-on-amazon.htm.
For orders:
After you’ve logged into the staging site, you then need to log into a real Amazon buyer account (not your staging account) to buy items. Then, navigate to the offers you’ve created. If you want to buy anything from your staging account (in order to test MWS order functionality) you will be using real credit card data, so make sure your offers are priced at only one cent, and your shipping is also set to one cent. These offers will not be visible on Amazon .com. Do not buy from any other sellers on the staging site.
So (conclusion): Just file a ticket** and tell them you want a seller central test account like this!
First register** for an account that you can access seller central with (please note, that some kind of accounts have a monthly fee, so choose a "per sale" plan. This fee won't be charged with your test account), then you can file the ticket (click the link above).
All resources about the MWS API are here.
** Replace ".com" with your local Domain for the Amazon Site you want a test (staging) account for.
You can use the scratchpad of Amazon:

good luck
I'm trying to automate the addition to and management of our products on Amazon. Looking at the API documentation for the MWS API it doesn't look like there's a way to determine if a product has already been added to Amazon by another seller and if so what its attributes are.
We are building a new product database for all the products we sell and have a table specifically for Amazon attribute data fields (ASIN, etc.). If Product information is already on Amazon, we'd like to pull that data via API and store it to our own database as well.
If you attempt to add a product via CSV and that product already exists on Amazon (and your attributes are in any way different ("m" != "medium") you'll receive and error. In that case you can just piggy back that existing product information and just upload a CSV with your price and quantity for a particular ASIN/SKU/UPC. We'd like to do away with uploading CSV files and again, have our own product table for Amazon attributes.
Will I need to also leverage Amazon's Product Advertising API to determine this or can it be done via MWS?
The documentation for Amazon's APIs aren't exactly fantastic and it's been slow going trying to sort through it all.
We're working with Ruby.
Amazon's Merchant Web Services API is limited to your Merchant account. So the answer to your question is that yes you will need to use Amazon's Product Advertising API to get information about products that aren't already listed.
That being said you should be aware that there are new restrictions being placed on the Product Advertising API that will limit the number of calls that you can make on a daily basis to 2,000. In addition to this you will have to get an Associate ID that will be tied to your account and needs to be sent with any request.
Also, I find that the information collected using the Product Advertising API is sometimes out of sync with the site and have resorted to scraping the info from the site itself. This has more overhead but you can be assured that the data is current. Of course this is only useful if you already have an ASIN or are dealing strictly with books (which use the ISBN as an ASIN) or Music CDs (which I believe use the UPC as an ASIN).
The MWS Products API is where you will find this functionality. Specifically the GetMatchingProductForId operation.
http://docs.developer.amazonservices.com/en_US/products/Products_GetMatchingProductForId.html
(This API probably wasn't available at the time of the original question)
