Important Update

SP-API Fees Implementation Delayed

Since announcing our SP-API pricing structure on November 3, 2025, and introducing the Advanced Tier on February 11, 2026, we have continued to hear from Solution Providers about the complexity this fee structure creates for your business planning and forecasting.

Supporting your ability to grow, innovate, and build high-quality solutions for Amazon sellers is important to us, and we understand your concerns and continue to evaluate your feedback. With that in mind, we are delaying the fee implementation and will share updated timelines with you in the fall.

Thank you for your continued partnership and for building best-in-class solutions for selling partners.

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.
