Overview

Amazon will shut down the Selling Partner API (SP‑API) Blog on July 31, 2024. After that date, the site’s tutorials, release notes, and troubleshooting articles will disappear from the current web address. Sellers and developers who depend on the blog for quick technical guidance must transition to the official SP‑API Documentation portal and the learning assets offered through Developer University.

Key Points

• Shutdown deadline — The blog will cease to exist after July 31, 2024, and any URL that previously displayed a post will now return a 404 error.
• Primary destination — Amazon advises users to rely on the SP‑API Documentation hub for the latest API specifications, integration guides, and version changelogs.
• Learning alternative — Developer University continues to host video lessons, interactive labs, and webinars that cover the same subjects formerly found on the blog.
• No bulk export — Amazon does not provide a tool to download or migrate blog content; each piece of information must be manually re‑found on the new platforms.
• Troubleshooting shift — The “Common Errors” series that lived on the blog is replaced by detailed error‑code reference tables inside the documentation site.

What’s Changing

1. Access termination — Once July 31 passes, attempts to open any blog link will display a standard “page not found” response. For example, a developer who bookmarked the “Getting Started with Orders API” article will be greeted by a 404 page instead of the tutorial.
2. Manual navigation to documentation — Amazon will not create automatic redirects from the old blog URLs to the new documentation pages. Users must go to the SP‑API Documentation portal (https://developer-docs.amazon.com/sp-api) and search for the relevant topic. A seller who previously clicked a “How to pull inventory levels” post will now need to locate the “Inventory API” section and read the corresponding guide within the new site.
3. Shift toward Developer University — Interactive content that once lived on the blog is now consolidated under Developer University’s curriculum. A developer seeking a step‑by‑step video on refreshing an OAuth token will find the material in the “Authentication” learning path rather than on the former blog page.
