Use FeedProcessingFinishedNotification when submitting a feed

When submitting a feed, Amazon recommends using the FeedProcessingFinishedNotification notification to find out when feed processing is complete. This eliminates the need to repeatedly poll the GetFeedSubmissionList operation to find out when feed processing is complete.

To submit a feed

  1. Subscribe to the FeedProcessingFinishedNotification notification.

    This is a one-time task. The FeedProcessingFinishedNotification notification tells you when feed processing is complete. For information about subscribing to this notification, see What you should know about Amazon MWS push notifications.

  2. Call the SubmitFeed operation to submit a feed.
    Note: If you are subscribed to the FeedProcessingFinishedNotification notification in multiple marketplaces and you specify one or more of those marketplaces with a call to the SubmitFeed operation, you will receive a notification for each marketplace that you specify.
  3. Wait for the FeedProcessingFinishedNotification notification.

    When feed processing is complete, Amazon sends you the FeedProcessingFinishedNotification notification with the FeedProcessingStatus element set to one of the following values:

    • DONE - The feed was successfully submitted. Use the FeedSubmissionId value included in the notification as input for the GetFeedSubmissionResult operation in Step 4.
    • CANCELLED - The feed was cancelled by the seller or by Amazon.
  4. Call the GetFeedSubmissionResult operation, specifying the FeedSubmissionId value from the FeedProcessingFinishedNotification notification that you received in Step 3.

    Amazon returns a processing report that describes which records in the feed were successful and which records generated errors.

    Note: You have to set up a stream that Amazon MWS uses to write out the processing report when you submit the GetFeedSubmissionResult operation. Use the Amazon MWS Feeds API section client library code for the GetFeedSubmissionResult operation to create the stream.
  5. Analyze the processing report, correct any errors in the file or transmission, and resubmit the feed using the SubmitFeed operation. Repeat the process until there are no errors in the processing report. When the processing report is error free, the transmission is complete.
