Error! TooManyRequests

Question

Hi everyone,

"The request was denied due to request throttling. Please verify the number of requests made per second to the Amazon Product Advertising API."

I am getting this error even though requesting for only one item. Please help me to fix this issue

Thank you

Answer

We aren't able to see any of your code (or how you are communicating with the API) unless you open a technical support case with AWS Support Engineering. It's likely you believe you are requesting one item, but an unexpected loop might be affecting it. I recommend familiarizing yourself with concepts such as exponential back-off. This can be common with unrefined code in a Lambda function.

Answer

I too have the same question, I am trying the scratchpad API and even the first request shows me the same error. here is the sample payload sent.
{
 "Keywords": "Laptops",
 "Resources": [
  "Images.Primary.Small",
  "ItemInfo.Title",
  "Offers.Listings.Price",
  "Offers.Listings.SavingBasis",
  "Offers.Summaries.HighestPrice",
  "Offers.Summaries.LowestPrice"
 ],
 "SearchIndex": "Electronics",
 "PartnerTag": "mypartnertag",
 "PartnerType": "Associates",
 "Marketplace": "www.amazon.in",
 "Operation": "SearchItems"
}
This is what i get as response.
