Amazon Product Advertising API search error - 'itemsearcherrorresponse' with no additional error information

Suddenly, today, I could not continue to perform ItemSearch queries on the Amazon Product Advertising API.

This is the complete XML error response I get.

<element '{http:="" ecs.amazonaws.com="" doc="" 2005-10-05="" }itemsearcherrorresponse'="" at="" 0x7f58cc173138=""></element>

Error responses usually come with additional information in a Code field, that helps understand the cause of the error. But not on this case.

Have I been blocked? or Does this mean the service is down momentarily?

Solution

  • As per I have understood, Amazon has suspended access to the Product Advertising API since the beginning of July.

    You can ask for a restoration of your access, but owing to what I have been able to read on the web there are very few exceptions.
