Title: Couldn’t Get It to Work – Error 429 Last modified: February 4, 2023 --- # Couldn’t Get It to Work – Error 429 * [macsopinion](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macsopinion/) * (@macsopinion) * [3 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/doesnt-work-error-429/) * **Error 429 Too many requests** * After installing the plugin and generating the API on the Amazon website and inputting the correct info but the Plugin and the Amazon API Scratpad give the error: Error 429 So far, I haven’t been able to make any successful requests. They always return the same error message: Error 429 – Too many requests.I sent a message to the HELP center at Amazon. Still, I’m doubtful they will remedy the problem judging by all of the other people having the same issues and nothing actually mentioned about a fix at all.Amazon’s excuse was that I didn’t have 3 sales which is BS because I have over 100 in the past two months. So Amazon is being a dick with Their API which I found out wasn’t an uncommon issue from a lot of Amazon Associates out there dealing with API problems. Before getting this plugin, I recommend that you test the API on the Amazon Scratchpad first. If you get errors there, this plugin will not work.I’ve stopped ripping my hair out dealing with Amazon Support and moved on to another ‘Working’ plugin with no API needed.Pissed off because I really wanted to use this one too. - This topic was modified 3 years, 4 months ago by [macsopinion](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macsopinion/).

If you look into the Amazon PA API, you’ll quickly find out that after you register, you first have to generate **three legitimate sales** through your links **before you even get access to the API**. As long as that is not the case, you will get this error from the API. **It’s not the plugin’s fault. ** * So I would be happy if you would take back your rating and submit it again later, when you have a working API account and thus a basis for rating. It would also be advisable to ask the plugin developers for an explanation before you submit your next bad review. 🙂 - This reply was modified 3 years, 3 months ago by [Timo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/worschtebrot/).
