SP-API – retrieving minimum purchase quantity for listing approval

[CCROWHURST1963]

We are using the Selling Partner API getListingsRestrictions operation to determine whether our seller account is eligible to list an ASIN.

For example, for ASIN B09BCKKZ2P in marketplace A1F83G8C2ARO7P, the API correctly returns:

reasonCode: APPROVAL_REQUIRED

message: You need approval to list this brand.

It also returns the Seller Central approval URL.

When we follow that approval URL in Seller Central, the application requirements state that the invoice must “show the combined purchase of at least 100 units.”

However, we cannot find the required quantity (100) anywhere in the response from getListingsRestrictions.

Is there an SP-API operation, response field, or other supported API that allows an authorised seller application to retrieve the minimum purchase/invoice quantity required for an approval application?

We are specifically trying to retrieve the requirement displayed in Seller Central programmatically, rather than automate or scrape the Seller Central webpage.

If this information is not currently exposed through SP-API, could you please confirm that?

Hi @CCROWHURST1963,

The Listings Restrictions API currently tells you whether there is a restriction or not with the seller central link to the application if any require approval. It doesn't state the exact application requirements. There is also no other data source vending this information today.

How often do you encounter such requirements? and what would be an example API response that would solve this?

Thank you for the feedback. I will take it for internal discussion with our Listings API product teams.

Best,
