Get on file with required attributes per Product Type?
Hi. Does anyone know how I could get one CSV or Excel file that contains all of the required attributes per Product Type? I know I can technically get this from an item setup template, but the format would not be ideal, and I would need to download many different files. I'm specifically interested in
- BUBBLE_MAKER
- FIGURINE
- NON_RIDING_TOY_VEHICLE
- TOYS_AND_GAMES
- TOY_FIGURE
- TOY_VEHICLE_SET
- ADVENT_CALENDAR
- PUSH_PULL_TOY
- TOY_BUILDING_BLOCK
I basically want a column with Product Type, and a column with attributes that are required. I believe this should be possible by somehow using the Product Type Definitions API but I don't have API access myself. https://developer-docs.amazon.com/sp-api/docs/product-type-definitions-api-v2020-09-01-reference
The file I would like is very similar to the hyperlink here under the title "June 2024 Listings Items API product type changes" but that file only shows recent changes. I want all required fields.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Good Evening @Seller_LB5lJhPwoO2jm,
The best path forward here is to leverage the newer Product Type Definition API, Listings Items API, and possibly the JSON_LISTINGS_FEED feed format.
We are migrating product types to these newer APIs and currently support ~600 product types in ~16 marketplaces. The Product Type Definitions API and PRODUCT_TYPE_DEFINITIONS_CHANGE notifications are the best way to keep up-to-date on the product types supported by these tools.
- Product Type Definitions API provides JSON Schemas that describe the requirements for a given product type (including seller-specific values, like shipping templates, upon request): https://developer-docs.amazon.com/sp-api/docs/product-type-api-use-case-guide
- PRODUCT_TYPE_DEFINITIONS_CHANGE notifications will send push notifications when new product types are launched on these APIs as well as when new versions of product type schemas are available: https://developer-docs.amazon.com/sp-api/docs/notifications-api-v1-use-case-guide#product_type_definitions_change
- Listings Items API handles reads and writes of individual listings using the format described by the JSON Schemas: https://developer-docs.amazon.com/sp-api/docs/listings-items-api-v2021-08-01-use-case-guide
- JSON_LISTINGS_FEED is a feed format for the Feeds API that accepts messages in bulk using the format described by the JSON Schemas: https://developer-docs.amazon.com/sp-api/docs/listings-feed-schema-v2
If you have any additional questions that may get a bit more technical and specific to your situation, please don't hesitate to contact Selling Partner API support.
Hope the information above helps. Have a terrific rest of your Tuesday and take care.
Cheers, Cooper_Amazon
P.S. Big thanks to my colleague @Daryl_Amazon for the assist with API guidance. 🙌
