Get started

You must register as a Selling Partner API developer before you can register your Selling Partner API application. For a demo of developer registration and a walkthrough of Seller Central, refer to the Register as an SP-API Developer video on SP-API Developer University.

The procedure for registering as a developer varies slightly depending on the type of application that you plan to create:
Private seller applications: Applications for sellers that are available only to your organization, and are self-authorized.
Private vendor applications: Vendor applications that are available only to your organization, and are self-authorized.
Public seller and vendor applications: Applications that are publicly available and are authorized by sellers or by vendors using OAuth. In accordance with the Amazon Services API Developer Agreement, public developers must list their app in the Amazon Selling Partner Appstore.
