About Amazon Advertising
The Amazon Advertising API (Amazon Ads API) enables agencies, tool vendors, and large advertisers to programmatically create, manage, and optimize ad campaigns across Amazon's sponsored products, sponsored brands, sponsored display, and DSP inventory. Unlike the Selling Partner API, the Advertising API remains free to access (no developer subscription fee as of 2026), though it requires a formal application and approval. It is primarily used to build custom dashboards, automated bid/keyword management tools, and attribution analytics for advertising on Amazon and its publisher network.
