Amazon Selling Partner (SP-API) authentication

Amazon Sellers can use SP-API to set up private integrations and build solutions exclusively for their Amazon store. Private app is available only to your organization and is self-authorized. A private developer builds application(s) that integrate their own company with Amazon APIs. [API reference]

Perform the following steps to authenticate calls using Amazon SP-API Private app:

Once your developer account is approved, login to your account, visit developer console and click Add new app client button to create a Private app:
Continue by naming your application in the App name field, choose SP API as API Type, and select the Roles for your app (i.e. permissions):
Once you do that, click View link in LWA credentials column to copy Client identifier and Client secret (we will use them later):
Now it's time to Authorize your app:
Finish authorizing it by presing Authorize app button:
Finally, copy the Refresh Token (we will use it in the next step):
Now go to SSIS package or ODBC data source and use Private app authentication configuration:
- In the ClientId field paste the Client identifier value you copied in the previous step.
- In the ClientSecret field paste the Client secret value you copied in the previous step.
- Leave the default value in the TokenUrl field.
- In the Refresh Token field paste the Refresh Token value you copied in the previous step.
Click Test Connection to confirm the connection is working.
