Amazon retired PA-API. Your product data doesn't have to die.
The Product Advertising API was deprecated on May 15, 2026. Its replacement, the Creators API, requires 10 qualifying sales every 30 days — locking out new sites, seasonal niches, and every project that hasn't converted yet. If your product boxes froze, your prices stopped updating, or your plugin's data source went dark, this page is for you: Amazon product data and ranked product search from a continuously refreshed warehouse. No Associates account. No sales quota. No approval process.
a maintained index, not a live scrape
refreshed continuously — 10 more marketplaces
shortly: DE · CA · JP · FR · IT · ES · IN · AU · MX · BR
— deterministic, no LLM in the path
Try it. Watch the response time.
Every search below hits our production endpoint as you click — nothing pre-rendered. Broad queries (try toothbrush) come back grouped by product category; specific ones (try graphics card) come back as Budget / Mid-range / Premium price tiers. The grouping is chosen algorithmically — no LLM, no live scraping, just the index.
Live responses from our production warehouse — observed snapshots, not Amazon's live feed. Demo is limited to 30 searches per hour per visitor and two products per group; the API itself returns more, with full facets and filters. Request a test key for unrestricted access.

}Two ways to replace what PA-API did for you.
- Product Search & Answers API Keyword in, ranked product shortlists out — grouped by category or price tier, accessory noise filtered, with images, prices, ratings, and links. The replacement for PA-API's SearchItems, with ranking built in. ~150ms typical response. US + UK live today; Germany, Canada, Japan, France, Italy, Spain, India, Australia, Mexico, and Brazil are next — shortly available.
- Per-ASIN product data The replacement for GetItems: title, brand, pricing, rating and review counts, images, availability, category, multi-seller offers, and optional price/BSR/seller-count history. Instant for products we track, on-demand fresh fetch when you need it. Full schema here.
vs. the Creators API.
| Our APIs | Amazon Creators API | |
|---|---|---|
| Eligibility | API key — that's it | 10 qualifying sales every 30 days, ongoing |
| Access revocation risk | None — commercial contract | Suspended the month you miss quota |
| Ranked / grouped search results | Yes — best per category / price tier | Raw search results only |
| Multi-seller offers & seller identity | Yes | Not available |
| Price / BSR / seller history | Yes — up to ~2 years | Not available |
| Rate limits | Scoped to your plan | Tied to sales volume |
| Data source | Our warehouse — observed snapshots, timestamped | Amazon live catalog |
Being honest about the trade: the Creators API is Amazon's live catalog and it's free — if you qualify and stay qualified, use it. We exist for everyone who can't, and for the capabilities it never had.
Who this is for.
- Affiliate & content sites below the sales quota New sites, seasonal niches, and dormant projects that lost API access. Keep product boxes, comparison tables, and "best of" pages rendering with current data while you rebuild toward eligibility.
- WordPress plugin & site-builder vendors Your users are locked out through no fault of yours. Offer a data backend that works for every customer from day one — white-label integration, predictable JSON schema, one key per install or pooled. We build for exactly this integration pattern.
- Deal, price-comparison & shopping apps Ranked results with price tiers and facets, fast enough for interactive UX. In-stock filtering built in.
- AI assistants, agents & MCP tools A deterministic product-search tool call that returns in ~150ms — no live scrape latency, no Amazon eligibility, structured for LLM consumption. Grouped shortlists, not raw dumps.
What you should know before you switch.
Our data is observed, not Amazon's live feed. Every record comes from our continuously refreshed warehouse and carries a timestamp. Best-selling products are refreshed most often; long-tail products less so. For purchase-moment accuracy on a specific ASIN, an on-demand fresh fetch is available.
Coverage is the products people actually buy. 3.5M+ products across amazon.com and amazon.co.uk, weighted toward best-sellers — not a mirror of Amazon's full catalog. For "best X" queries, comparison content, and discovery, that's the set that matters.
Associates program compliance stays your responsibility. Amazon's Associates policies govern how prices and availability may be displayed alongside affiliate links. Our data suits rankings, research, comparison content, product discovery, and non-Associates monetization; how you present it on an Associates-enrolled site is your call to make with the program terms in hand.
