All amazon api calls have certain limitation, throttling and restore rate. Throttling mean how many requests to amazon api could be performed in the time range. Restore rate is the speed of restoring a number of performed request.

Important limitations:

  • Send, QTY/Price Update — maximum 30 requests in one hour, restore rate is 1 request in 2 minutes. This means that you can do no more than 30 requests for making the connection between PrestaShop and Amazon Items. Due to this limitation, it makes sense export in one call as much products is possible.
  • Orders Import — restoring speed of 1 request in the minute, maximum request in a stack is 6. So after doing 6 requests to download amazon orders, it will be needed to wait at least 1 minute before next request. And after 6 minutes possibility of making requests will be fully restored. It’s also important that in single api request to download orders module can obtain oldest 20 orders and on next request following 20 orders.
  • Amazon Inventory download — not more than 60 requests an hour. The maximum number of request 15 and then restore speed is 1 request minute.
  • ASIN search by UPC/EAN code — 18000 request an hour.
