API Deprecation Reminder May 2024

1P Supplier API Deprecation

Walmart is deprecating the following API’s in May 2024. This means that API requests may be subject to failure and cause a business disruption. Please ensure your API’s are aligned with the newest standards

Digital Signature Authentication for All 1P Suppliers API’s

1P Supplier APIs transitioned to OAuth standard token-based authentication starting in July 2023. All API requests using the digital signature-based authentication process, which involves using the consumer ID private key values to generate a digital signature, will be subject to failure.

Transform all API’s to use Token Based Authentication.

Item Management API’s – Deprecation Announcement

Walmart will no longer be supporting the category based “Supplier_Full_Item” and “Supplier_Product” bulk Item Setup and Maintenance submissions. Walmart will be transitioning to Product Type Setup and Maintenance to drive item content quality and enhance the shopping experience.

The updated Feedtypes that should be used for Item Setup and Maintenance Requests are as follows:

  • Item Setup and Maintenance by Product Type: https://api-gateway.walmart.com/v3/feeds

    • Setup: Physical Items for sale on eCommerce channels 

      * OMNI_DSV_ITEM: drop ship vending (DSV) * OMNI_ONLINE_ITEM or sold directly to Walmart for Walmart.com

    • Maintenance: Maintain any 1P item (store or e-commerce items) 

      * OMNI_MAINTENANCE

DSV Inventory API’s – Deprecation Announcement

Walmart is transitioning all DSV Inventory updates to be made using the GTIN-14 as the primary Product Identifier (productId) to align to retail industry standards and a consistent product identifier for all items. As part of this transition inventory updates using SKU as an identifier will no longer be accepted.
