How can I add a product in amazon using the amazon API?

Question

I'm doing a project using ebay and amazon api.

I've uploaded products to ebay sandbox using the api.

But I searched for api to add products in amazon api.

Is there any documentation or reference to do it?

You have to use the Amazon MWS API (it's not the same as AWS product API) in order to upload your products to Amazon. Here you can read everything you need to know about MWS.

For your particular problem, you'll have to submit a feed which contains the product data you want to upload. Here is the documentation about Amazon's feed mechanism and feed submit operation.

UPDATE:

There are the feed client libraries, with the code samples, for C#, Java and PHP. For example, if you download the Java client library, you'll find a great example within the file on the path: src\com\amazonaws\mws\samples\SubmitFeedSample.java, etc.

If you are using another language, you'll have to write your own code, but the approach should be straightforward: you have a WS end-point (i.e. https://mws.amazonservices.com) and you have to execute the SubmitFeed operation against it.

Thanks, but is there any sample code to start?. because, I studied all. but still don't know how to implement it. – Justness

@Fridlund is there any sample of how to write the feedContent? – Grad

@Grad did you find any yet? – Cranford

@Grad Sorry, I missed your question. If I got it, you need an XML sample of the feed content? I updated the answer. – Fridlund

@Cranford The answer has been updated with the feed content sample. – Fridlund

@Grad in meantime i found some other samples in the internet, but i cannot find a definition from Amazon, how do they know the XML format? – Cranford

@Cranford The link behind the "feed content example" text (the bottom of the answer) doesn't help you? There is an XML format provided by the Amazon, please have a look. – Fridlund

no not really, but i found this : images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/rainier/help/… – Cranford

@Cranford I have find some XSD available, images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/rainier/help/xsd/… , we can get all other related XSD from it's hierarchy. – Grad

Can We Use this Api to create a website which shows our products and create orders which will then be handled by amazon – Seymour
