Amazon SP-API · getListingsRestrictions · GET /listings/2021-08-01/restrictions Account types: Seller Central only (Amazon rejects this endpoint for Vendor Central accounts with Unauthorized.) Returns list of restrictions with reasons and approval links. Use before attempting to create a listing for a new ASIN to verify eligibility. An empty data.restrictions means you may list the ASIN in that condition; otherwise follow reasons[].links[].resource to apply — no link means no self-service path.

## Arguments

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `store` | string | yes | the store ref `<store>-<CC>` (name-country, e.g. 'myStore-US') — one of get_user_context's store_refs, verbatim. |
| `asin` | string | yes | the ASIN (e.g. 'B0XXXXXXXX'). |
| `condition_type` | string |  | the offer condition to check. Default: 'new_new'. Allowed: new_new \| new_open_box \| new_oem \| refurbished_refurbished \| used_like_new \| used_very_good \| used_good \| used_acceptable \| collectible_like_new \| collectible_very_good \| collectible_good \| collectible_acceptable \| club_club. Allowed: new_new \| new_open_box \| new_oem \| refurbished_refurbished \| used_like_new \| used_very_good \| used_good \| used_acceptable \| collectible_like_new \| collectible_very_good \| collectible_good \| collectible_acceptable \| club_club. |
| `reason_locale` | string |  | Locale for reason text localization (e.g. 'en_US', 'fr_CA', 'fr_FR'). Defaults to the marketplace's primary language. Falls back to 'en_US' if the requested locale is unavailable. |
| `product_type` | string |  | Amazon product type of the item, e.g. 'SHIRT'. With it Amazon also evaluates GTIN-exemption restrictions for that product type; without it only brand restrictions (this tool takes no brand argument). Get the value from productTypeDefinitions_searchDefinitionsProductTypes or catalogItems_getCatalogItem. |

## Result

- `data.restrictions` — list of restriction objects, each with: - marketplaceId - conditionType (the condition the restriction applies to) - reasons[]: each has message, optional reasonCode ('APPROVAL_REQUIRED' | 'ASIN_NOT_FOUND' | 'NOT_ELIGIBLE'), and links[] (path-forward resources: resource URI, verb 'GET', title) — typically the approval/application link.
