Got access to the Amazon PA API but always get Error 429 Too many requests

Question

Hi there,

I just recently got access to the Amazon PA API, and generated my secret keys.

I was experimenting on my Node.JS environment and trying to send my first request.

But I only got the error: `Error 429 - Too many requests`.

So I though I was doing something wrong and went to ScratchPad.

And on ScratchPad I also got the same error: `Error 429 - Too many requests`.

So far, I haven't been able to make any successful request. They always come back with the same error message:

`Error 429 - Too many requests`.

I feels like I'm out of quota, but if I just got access to it, shouldn't I at least have some initial quota/limit to do some requests?

PS: My website generates referred sales regularly, around 30-40 sales each month.

Answer

If this is in regards to the Product Advertising (PA) API. You will want to reach out to that support team following this documentation: https://webservices.amazon.com/paapi5/documentation/contact-us.html

Unfortunately that service is not under AWS.
