Hi there,

Can you advise whether the Create Plugin will offer integration with the new Amazon Creators API in the near future? With the old PA-API being deprecated in the coming months, I hope this plugin will offer Amazon access via the new API.

Thanks,

Rachel

Hi @rrodda75!

Great question! The answer is yes: Create will be integrating with the new Creators API before the PA-API is deprecated.

That’s great to hear – thanks. Is there a timeframe yet for this to occur?

@rrodda75 not a specific timeline, but it should be out by early March, to give plenty of time for converting credentials before the April 30th deprecation. 🙂

hey, hopping in since i went through the same question on my own side. if youre still watching this thread and the create plugin update hasnt shipped yet, a few things worth knowing:
- old pa-api v5 keys still work for now. amazons published timeline has two dates – apr 30 is the deprecation date and amazons recommended migration cutoff (docs stop being maintained), and may 15 is when the v5 endpoint itself retires. so dont trash the old creds even if you start migrating, you have til mid-may on the actual endpoint
- the new creators api uses oauth 2.0 and the credentials come from the associates central creators api portal, not aws iam. so its a fresh app registration process
- amazon also tightened the access requirements – 10 qualifying sales in the last 30 days in the marketplace you want api access for. if youre under that, you can keep using pa-api v5 keys you already have, but you cant get fresh creators api access until you hit the threshold
longer breakdown with the exact timeline: https://paapiplugin.com/amazon-is-retiring-pa-api-v5-is-your-affiliate-plugin-ready/?utm_source=wporg-forums&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=pa-api-migration

i maintain a free wp plugin (PaapiPlugin) that supports both auth methods if you need something to lean on while create ships their update. https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/paapi-product-search-for-amazon/

@rrodda75 @paapiplugin thank you! Create’s latest versions do have support for both PAAPI and Creators API, though 🙂

As long as you have Create >2.4.0, you can follow this guide for setting up the Creators API credentials in Create: https://www.wizardshot.com/tutorials/51132-set-up-amazon-creators-api-in-create
