Getting all attributes of an Item

[FloderCC]

Good afternoon,

I need to get all the attributes of an Item given its ASIN, but the 'attributes' value for the 'includedData' parameter is only available to the brand owner of the item.

I am using the query https://github.com/amzn/selling-partner-api-docs/blob/main/references/catalog-items-api/catalogItems_2020-12-01.md#getcatalogitem and It return the error: {'code': 'InvalidInput', 'message': 'FORBIDDEN', 'details': 'The includedData requested requires Brand Registry affiliation with the requested item. Remove the requested includedData item or register the brand of the item in Brand Registry with the seller.'}

Is there any other way to get all attributes for any Amazon listing given its ASIN?

Does summaries provide you with what you are looking for?

The attributes data set is only available to the brand owner of the ASIN. Are there specific data elements you are looking for that are not covered by the summaries or one of the other data sets?

Hello, first thank you for your attention,
Yes. I would like to obtain all the details of the product, just like when a product is uploaded, all the properties are specified in the form
...
"resolution": [
{
"language_tag": "en_US",
"value": "4K",
"marketplace_id": "ATVPDKIKX0DER"
}
],
...
I would like to be able to obtain all this information. Including quantity in stock, product dimensions etc.
I would like to do that at least with the products that I have for sale, including those that I am not the brand ower.

Ditto, I am performing migrations from mws to sp-api and getCatalogItem doesn't include the following data in summaries:

• authors and bindings for books (which is publicly available to view on the amazon store)
• product dimensions and weights (which is also publicly available through https://sellercentral.amazon.com/hz/fba/profitabilitycalculator/index?lang=en_US)

I was previously able to obtain all of these data with mws GetMatchingProduct

[teddy-codes]

Basically all of the data that was from GetMatchingProduct(ForID) has been hidden behind the attributes key now and that's going to make the migration basically impossible.

Hi, but the catalog item v0 can get attributes info. Why version 2020-12-01 abandon this logic？
It puzzled me.

As mention above we are unable to achieve the same functionality of GetMatchingProduct in SP API Catalog Version 2020-12-01.

MWS Flow:

1. Using SKU call GetMatchingProductForId.
2. Identify whether an item is a variant under an item group. If so, then obtain the ASIN of parent from the response of above GetMatchingProductForId API.
3. Make GetMatchingProduct with parent ASIN to get the parent details such as name, attributes.

Trying to achieve the same functionality in SP API:

1. Response received for CatalogAPI Version 2020-12-01 (without specifying includedData):
   {asin: "B00YT13T3Q", attributes: null, identifiers: null, images: null, productTypes: null, salesRanks: null, summaries: [{ marketplaceId: "ATVPDKIKX0DER", brandName: "SAMSUNG", browseNode: null, colorName: "Gold", itemName: "Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime GSM Cellphone - Gold", manufacturer: "Samsung", modelNumber: "Galaxy Grand Prime", sizeName: null, styleName: null }], , variations: null, vendorDetails: null }

Response received for CatalogAPI Version 2020-12-01 (specifying includedData):
{ "errors": [ { "code": "InvalidInput", "message": "FORBIDDEN", "details": "The includedData requested requires Brand Registry affiliation with the requested item. Remove the requested includedData item or register the brand of the item in Brand Registry with the seller." } ] }

As you can see we are unable to obtain parent information.

2. Making Catalog API V0:
   { "identifiers": { "marketplaceASIN": { "marketplaceId": "ATVPDKIKX0DER", "ASIN": "B00YT13T3Q" }, "skUIdentifier": null }, "attributeSets": { [{ "actor": null, "artist": null, "aspectRatio": null, "audienceRating": null, "author": null, "backFinding": null, "bandMaterialType": null, "binding": "Electronics", "blurayRegion": null, "brand": "SAMSUNG", "ceroAgeRating": null, "chainType": null, "claspType": null, "color": "Gold", "cpuManufacturer": null, "cpuSpeed": null, "cpuType": null, "creator": null, "department": "Unlocked cell phones are compatible with GSM carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile as well as with GSM SIM cards (e.g. H20, Straight Talk, and select prepaid carriers).

As you can see the V0 returns attributes and relationship information. Although that still remains ambiguous because there are unnecessary information sent under attributes. It is not clear which are the actual attributes of the variant.

[However this should be irrelevant with respect to the issue since this version anyway going to be deprecated. I'm just using this to point out the attribute info in present in V0 and not in Version 2020-12-01].

Requesting Amazon Team's assistance in this regard at the earliest.

Thanks in advance.

I have raised a case log for the same: Case ID 7224294572.

[chapmanjw]

We do have a backlog item to address the variation details, item/package dimensions, and additional identifying attributes in the next revision of this API.

While the current MWS Products API + Catalog V0 API operations do include more data in some cases, they are by no means comprehensive of all catalog data associated with an ASIN. The attributes for those include a snapshot of common identifying attributes from 10+ years ago.

The purpose of providing all of the attributes data for brand owners specifically is that is the role associated with fully managing the content for display on the detail pages. This attributes data is not intended for use outside the express purpose of managing the content (i.e. inspecting for correctness, submitting missing data, etc.).

The summaries and other data sections are intended for use by resellers, building search results pages, and other workflows for selling items on Amazon. For those use-cases, we are not providing "all" attributes data, rather we are providing specific data elements to serve these use-cases as needed. With that in mind, we are asking for which specific data elements are needed to serve your non-brand-owner use-cases. The 2020-12-01 version is a "starting" point for that. There will be another iteration prior to deprecating v0 + MWS operations with additional data elements, depending on public feedback.

So, knowing that you cannot blanketly have "all" data as a non-brand-owner, what data specific data elements are needed and what are those data elements needed for?

Hello,
Thank you very much for that valuable information!

In our case, we want to make our system allow downloading all the information of any product or at least of those that are for sale in the user's Amazon account. That would allow the user to manage the product information from our system through the Listings Items API. But to do that, we need to download all the data of the product of which the user is a reseller (or not), or at least those attributes that are required for the productType of that product, so that once our system imports a product have all the information necessary to put it on sale in the user's Amazon account, or if a product that the user already has for sale is imported, then the user can simply modify data in our system and our system has all the information to reflect that change in Amazon using the putListingsItem in endpoint.
Currently, there are specific data for each productType that is required when using the putListingsItem call and that we have not been able to obtain from Amazon.

[chapmanjw]

@FloderCC Would it be fair to summarize the use-case you are describing as a reseller creating/managing all of the product content for items that the owner of the brand have not themselves listed on Amazon (or at least are not themselves actively maintaining)?
