Hey-

Love the plugin, and have been using it for some time. Earlier this week, I checked in to my site to find that amazon had ‘throttled’ my access to the API. Upon sending in a support request, i was told that “this was done because you are currently using a Selleer version of the PA-API (Product Advertising API) which will no longer work after August 31st. In the meantime you’ll need to move to the Amazon Associate version of PA-API which will remain active” and that more info could be found at https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/advertising/api/detail/main.html

I’m assuming that this means that you’ll need to migrate the plugin’s API calls, so I thought i’d let you know that this is coming!

What have you done to solve the problem on your site?

The Plugin shows me that it is not ready yet. It worked fine till today. I get this error: RequestThrottled: Request from blacklist_A272W5KXAP9MFM is throttled.

My installations work fine and I do not get an error. This is why I did not realize this issue yet. Some other users get the same error and I checked the Amazon forums, eg this topic: https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?messageID=371831

I will check this out the next days and provide an update if neccessary.

I summarized all information I could gather about this issue in a new blog post:
