What Sellers Use This For

Category placement audit. classifications returns the full browse path Amazon has on record for each ASIN. A product appearing in the wrong category affects discoverability and BSR calculation, so verifying this across your SKUs is a routine check worth automating.

Top level category tracking. parent shows the highest node in the browse tree. If a product is drifting between top level categories over time, it shows up here before you notice it in BSR or traffic.

Child category verification. displayName gives you the specific sub-category assigned to each ASIN. This is the category that determines which BSR ladder your product competes on.

Frequently
Asked Questions

Black upward arrow on white background

What is a Seller Central report?

Amazon generates structured data sets from your account activity. Each report covers a specific area: orders, inventory, settlements, fees, reimbursements, and more. The fields on each page show exactly what data that report contains and how it is labeled in Amazon's system.

Black upward arrow on white background

Where does Gorilla ROI get this data?

We pull directly from Amazon's Selling Partner API. No third-party intermediaries. No manual csv exports. The data comes from Amazon's own reporting infrastructure, the same source Seller Central uses to generate your reports.

How current is the data once it's connected?

Data refreshes automatically on a regular schedule. The exact cadence varies by report type based on how frequently Amazon makes that data available through the API.

Black upward arrow on white background

Do I need to download anything or export from Seller Central?

No. Once connected, your account data pulls automatically. There are no csv files to export, no manual steps, and no scheduled downloads to manage.

Black upward arrow on white background

Can I pull multiple reports at the same time?

Yes. Each report maps to a separate dataset. You can pull as many as your account supports and work with them side by side.

Black upward arrow on white background

What does the "API" column in the field table mean?

It identifies which Amazon SP-API endpoint provides that data. Different report types pull from different APIs: the Reports API, Orders API, FBA Inventory API, Product Pricing API, and others. This helps you understand the data source behind each field.

Black upward arrow on white background

Are all fields listed on each page actually available in my account?

Field availability depends on your seller account type and the marketplaces you sell in. FBA-specific fields, for example, are not available to FBM-only accounts. The fields listed reflect what Amazon exposes through the API for that report.
