The [**AAWP API**](https://getaawp.com/features/aawp-api/) is a standalone service that enables Amazon product data to be retrieved. It is based on infrastructure operated by us and can be used both **with the AAWP plugin** and **independently of it**. The provision of the AAWP API incurs **ongoing costs per user**, including infrastructure, data connection, and support. Therefore, access to the AAWP API is **subject to a fee** and must be **booked separately**. It is not automatically included in the plugin license. After purchase, you will receive a **personal AAWP API key**, which is stored in the plugin settings. No additional access data or technical configurations are required. AAWP API access is **not tied to an active plugin license**. Even if your plugin license expires, you can continue to use the AAWP API as long as you have an active API plan. ## What are the functions of the AAWP API? ### Retrieving Amazon product information Our API can retrieve product information about all Amazon products from all stores worldwide. This allows customers to use our plugin even if they don't have [access to the official Amazon Product Advertising API](https://getaawp.com/docs/article/amazon-product-advertising-api-credentials/) yet. If you don't need an already placed product anymore, we recommend removing it from the plugin's database so it won't get counted next month. Current technical restrictions: Bestsellers and new releases lists cannot be used. ![Aawp api plugin settings](https://getaawp.com/wp-content/uploads/aawp-api-plugin-settings-738x630.png) ## How many products can I retrieve with the AAWP API? The retrieval of Amazon products via the AAWP API is **quota-based**. Depending on the plan you have booked, you have a fixed product limit per month. The pricing structure is **flexible** and allows you to adjust your AAWP API access to your **actual needs** at any time. Both upgrades and downgrades are possible at any time. The following **AAWP API plans** are currently available: | **Products / Month** | **Price / Month** | | -------------------- | ----------------- | | 150 Products | $5 | | 250 Products | $9 | | 500 Products | $19 | | 750 Products | $29 | | 1.000 Products | $39 | **Get 1 month free** by selecting annual billing during checkout. **Looking for higher quotas or agency pricing?** [Contact us](https://getaawp.com/contact/) for a custom plan or more options. The product limit you have booked applies **per month** and is **automatically reset at the beginning of each month**. 👉 [**Click here to purchase AAWP API access**](https://getaawp.com/link/aawp-api-checkout/) After completing a purchase or plan change, the updated access is automatically set up in the background. This usually happens immediately, but no later than within 24 hours. ## Can I have access to the AAWP API with my expired plugin license? Yes. The **AAWP API can also be used with an expired AAWP plugin license**, provided that the plugin version installed on your website is **compatible with the AAWP API** ([version 4.4.0](https://getaawp.com/changelog/) or higher). Access to the AAWP API is **independent of the status of the plugin license**. Even without an active plugin license, you can purchase a **standalone AAWP API plan** and continue to retrieve product data. If your plugin license has expired **and** the installed plugin version **is too old** to work with the AAWP API, you should **at least once **[**renew**](https://getaawp.com/docs/article/license-renewals/) your plugin license to update to the current version of AAWP. After that, the AAWP API can be used again as usual. Please note that **no plugin updates** will be provided if your plugin license has expired. We therefore recommend keeping your plugin license active to receive security and feature updates. 👉 [**Click here to purchase AAWP API access**](https://getaawp.com/link/aawp-api-checkout/) The following **AAWP API plans** are currently available: | **Products / Month** | **Price / Month** | | -------------------- | ----------------- | | 150 Products | $7 | | 250 Products | $12 | | 500 Products | $24 | | 750 Products | $36 | | 1.000 Products | $48 | **Get 2 months free** by selecting annual billing during checkout. **Looking for higher quotas or agency pricing?** [Contact us](https://getaawp.com/contact/) for a custom plan or more options.

To upgrade your plan: - Log in to your **Freemius Account** - Open the **Licenses** section - Select your **AAWP API** - Click **Upgrade to** on the right-hand side - Choose the plan that matches your current needs Once the upgrade is completed, the new plan becomes effective immediately. You can continue using the AAWP API with the increased quota without making any changes to your plugin configuration. If your requirements change later, you can downgrade your plan in the same place using the same steps.
