January 2023 SP-API Release Announcement

[hudalexa]

Introducing the Product Pricing v2022-05-01 API

The new getFeaturedOfferExpectedPriceBatch API operation helps sellers compete to become the Featured Offer. This operation is available in the following marketplaces: France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Sweden, Poland, Netherlands, Belgium.

The Featured Offer is an offer for a product that Amazon displays on the product detail page with an Add to Cart button. This API returns the Featured Offer Expected Price (FOEP), which is a computed listing price at or below which the Seller can expect to become the Featured Offer. Featured Offer placement is not guaranteed, because competing offers may change, and different offers may be featured based on other factors, including fulfillment capabilities to a specific customer based on their location. Key features of this API include:

• Response data: Responses include the FOEP, competing Featured Offer, and current Featured Offer. Sellers can use this information as an additional way to compete for Featured Offer placement.
• FOEP status: Responses include a status that indicates whether a valid FOEP exists.
• Batched requests: The getFeaturedOfferExpectedPriceBatch operation of the Product Pricing API lets sellers receive the FOEP data for up to 40 SKUs, provided that the items are in new condition and ship nationwide.
• Dynamic usage plan: This API implements a dynamic usage plan, which is one that is automatically adjusted to each selling partner based on the current and historical business needs for that business. Refer to Usage Plans and Rate Limits in the SP-API for more information.
