  • Did you solve this problem?

    Please ensure you’re using Product Advertising API 5.0 this is going to be a requirement after Oct 2019.

    Note: You need to have some sales through Amazon’s affiliate program in order to use the Product Advertising API. If you don’t have sales then it’s likely that you aren’t able to make any (or many) requests through the Product Advertising API.

    Additionally, you need to have an Amazon Associates tracking ID in your settings as well to perform searches.

    Amazon doesn’t surface the best error messages for keys and you can use this to find an error message that may more specifically point to what the issue is:

    Click the “SearchItems” link on the left hand sidebar and then enter your access key, secret access key and amazon associates tracking ID:
