Item management API requests

This table shows how the Item management API requests tie into the steps outlined in the overview workflow diagram, a short description of the API, call type, communication type, link to the API reference, and the API throttling limits.

These endpoints are throttled—if you submit too many feeds too quickly, you might hit Walmart’s rate limits and receive HTTP 429 responses. To learn more about throttling, refer to the Marketplace throttling documentation.
