1.
Authentication: The application must authenticate using OAuth 2.0. Once the seller authorizes the app, a token is generated that grants access to the seller’s data.
2.
API Calls: The application can then make API calls to different endpoints based on the features it needs (e.g., orders, inventory, reports).
3.
Data Handling: API responses contain the requested data in JSON format, which the application can then process. It’s important to handle errors and rate limits properly to ensure smooth integration.
4.
Rate Limits and Throttling: SP-API has built-in throttling to prevent overuse. Developers must manage API calls efficiently to stay within rate limits and avoid disruptions.
