Important Update

Cancellation of Third-Party Developer Selling Partner API (SP-API) Fees

Our developer community is incredibly important to us. We previously announced changes to developer fees related to SP-API usage, and we value your feedback on those planned changes. After careful consideration, we have decided that we will not move forward with the SP-API usage and annual fees at this time. Supporting your ability to innovate, build and grow is a top priority and we appreciate partnering together to provide high quality solutions for Amazon sellers.

In the coming weeks, we will be making updates to the Solution Provider Portal (SPP) to reflect this decision, such as removing the fee preview dashboard. If you previously provided a credit card, you can delete it now through this link in SPP.

We are committed to supporting you as you build the next generation of solutions for selling partners.

Thank you for being an important part of the Amazon Selling Partner developer community.

Understanding SP-API Metered and Unmetered Calls

When using Amazon's Selling Partner API (SP-API), your API calls fall into two categories: metered and unmetered. Understanding the difference is important for managing your API usage costs.

Metered calls are API requests that are tracked and counted for billing purposes, meaning they count toward your monthly API usage limits and will be subject to usage fees starting April 30, 2026.

Unmetered calls, on the other hand, are API requests that do not count toward your monthly usage or billing. These calls are free to use and are excluded from all fee calculations. These exclusions are designed to provide developers with flexibility and reduce unnecessary billing.

Below is an exclusion list of Unmetered GET Calls. Developers are encouraged to review this document to understand exactly which API calls will not contribute to their monthly usage calculations and potential overage fees.
