Simplify Your AWS Marketplace Catalog API (CAPI) Integration with Strongly-Typed API Schemas

This post announces a new GitHub library that hosts strongly-typed API schemas for the "DetailsDocument" used in StartChangeSet, DescribeChangeSet, and DescribeEntity APIs in the AWS Marketplace Catalog API (CAPI). This library aims to simplify the integration process for developers working with CAPI.

Specifically, the article covers:

• Previously, developers had to manually construct the API request structure and experiment to understand the "DetailsDocument" schema
• The new library allows importing Java and Python libraries to create strongly-typed responses for the "DetailsDocument", without referring to documentation or experimenting with JSON structure
• This saves time and reduces the risk of errors during integration testing and implementation
• If the "DetailsDocument" schema changes, developers can download the new library version and update their code accordingly
• The new functionality exists alongside the existing option of sending and receiving a string object in the "Details" attribute
• Newly onboarding sellers and those onboarding new API actions are advised to use the schema library for faster integration with CAPI
• Instructions on how to download and use the shape library are provided in the linked API documentation
