Troubleshooting

Common Errors

Error:ReconnectRequired -> Amazon has retired the Product Advertising API for your account. To keep this task running, create a Creators API credential in Associates Central (Tools > Creators API) and reconnect your Amazon account in Botize.

Amazon is shutting down the Product Advertising API — the one this connection uses — and replacing it with the new Creators API. Amazon is doing this account by account, so your tasks may have been working fine until today and stopped from one day to the next.

It is not a Botize problem and there is nothing wrong with your Amazon account: your current credentials simply no longer give access. To keep your tasks running you have to create a Creators API credential and reconnect.

How to fix it:

Sign in to Associates Central with your Amazon Associates account (or your country's site, e.g. afiliados.amazon.es).
Go to Tools → Creators API and click Create credential.
Copy the three values Amazon shows you: credential ID, credential secret and version.
In Botize, add an Amazon Associates connection and paste those three values along with your marketplace and your Partner Tag.
Use exactly the same Partner Tag you were using before. The connection then replaces the old one and your existing tasks keep working with no further changes. If you use a different Partner Tag you get a second, separate connection and you would have to edit every task to point at it.

Error:ReconnectRequired -> Your Amazon credentials are no longer valid. Amazon now uses Login with Amazon to access the Creators API. Please create a new credential in Associates Central (Tools > Creators API) and reconnect your Amazon account in Botize.

Botize tried to sign in to Amazon with the credentials saved in this connection and Amazon rejected them.

The usual cause is that Amazon changed how the Creators API is accessed: it now uses Login with Amazon instead of the previous system, and credentials issued under the old system stopped working. It can also happen if the credential was deleted or regenerated in Associates Central.

How to fix it:

Sign in to Associates Central with your Amazon Associates account (or your country's site, e.g. afiliados.amazon.es).
Go to Tools → Creators API and click Create credential.
Copy the three values Amazon shows you: credential ID, credential secret and version.
In Botize, add an Amazon Associates connection and paste those three values along with your marketplace and your Partner Tag.
Use exactly the same Partner Tag you were using before. The connection then replaces the old one and your existing tasks keep working with no further changes. If you use a different Partner Tag you get a second, separate connection and you would have to edit every task to point at it.

The technical detail of the rejection (for example HTTP 400: invalid_client) is shown after the | at the end of the error message.
