Checks whether there are active recommendations for each category for the given marketplace, and if there are, returns the time when recommendations were last updated for each category.
The GetLastUpdatedTimeForRecommendations operation enables you to check whether there are active recommendations for you in a given recommendation category, and if there are, to check when the recommendations for that category were last updated.
If the last updated timestamp returned for a category in this operation is newer than the last updated timestamp returned for a category when you last called this operation, then you should call the ListRecommendations operation again to get your latest recommendations for that category. Otherwise, there is no need to call the ListRecommendations operation because you already have the most current set of recommendations.
If a null last updated timestamp is returned for a given category, then there are no active recommendations for you in that category.
This operation is available in all marketplaces.
The FulfillmentRecommendationsLastUpdated and AdvertisingRecommendationsLastUpdated elements are used in all marketplaces except Brazil.
This operation has a maximum request quota of 8 and a restore rate of one request every two seconds. For definitions of throttling terminology and for a complete explanation of throttling, see Throttling: Limits to how often you can submit requests in the Amazon MWS Developer Guide.
