Updated: 2026-09-03

AIAdKing connects to Amazon only via the official Selling Partner and Advertising APIs over OAuth. No scraping, no headless browsers, no stored passwords.

The Amazon Selling Partner API (SP-API) is Amazon's only sanctioned interface for third-party seller tools. Tools that scrape Seller Central put your account at risk. AIAdKing uses the official SP-API and Advertising API for every read and write, scoped to the OAuth permissions you explicitly grant.

## FAQ

Q: What is the Amazon Selling Partner API (SP-API)?
A: The Selling Partner API (SP-API) is Amazon's official REST API for third-party seller tools — the only Amazon-sanctioned way for software to read and write seller data. Tools that scrape Seller Central instead can put your account at risk.

Q: How is the official API different from scraping?
A: The official API uses OAuth tokens and rate-limited, documented endpoints that Amazon explicitly supports. Scraping uses headless browsers or HTML parsing of Seller Central, which Amazon forbids in the seller agreement and bans accounts for at scale.

Q: Does AIAdKing use the official API exclusively?
A: Yes. Every Amazon read and write happens through the official Selling Partner API or Amazon Advertising API. AIAdKing never scrapes Seller Central, never uses headless browsers, and never collects or stores your Amazon password.

Q: What can AIAdKing do through the API?
A: It reads orders, inventory, returns, finances, listings and ads performance, and writes listing edits, ad bid changes, negative keywords, and budget caps — all scoped to the OAuth permissions you explicitly grant, and all logged.

Q: Can I revoke AIAdKing access?
A: Yes — one click in Seller Central under Apps & Services. On revocation we delete your data from production systems within a reasonable period, retaining only audit records we are required to keep under Amazon policy. You can also email privacy@aiadking.com to request deletion.
