New PartnerCentral Selling APIs
2025-12-02
What’s this one all about then ?
Its re:Invent season so we must have heaps of new things - and we got some more. AWS has just released a heap of new APIs for PartnerCentral Selling interaction - the PartnerCentral Selling API
This will be interesting because its a bit of a cross-over into the older ACE (CRM) APIs and maybe some Marketplace stuff (??). Lets take a look.
Opening the box
Here’s what we got:
Candidate 5 version of the AWS Partner Central API released. ... Enhanced Selling API engagement actions to support lead management workflow.
... Enhanced Selling API documentation for Engagement management with Lead context.
And the details ? We got all these methods, re-organized the alphabetical list into logical groups:
Unsurprisingly, the fundamentals for opportunities are here, which means these can be managed outside of the older ACE CRM API context:
- ListOpportunities
- GetOpportunity
- GetAwsOpportunitySummary
- AssignOpportunity
- AssociateOpportunity
- CreateOpportunity
- SubmitOpportunity
- UpdateOpportunity
- DisassociateOpportunity
- ListOpportunityFromEngagementTasks
- StartOpportunityFromEngagementTask
A group about engagement, which is really the word AWS uses for co-sell collaboration:
- ListEngagements
- CreateEngagement
- GetEngagement
- GetEngagementInvitation
- CreateEngagementContext
- CreateEngagementInvitation
- AcceptEngagementInvitation
- RejectEngagementInvitation
- UpdateEngagementContext
- ListEngagementByAcceptingInvitationTasks
- ListEngagementFromOpportunityTasks
- ListEngagementInvitations
- ListEngagementMembers
- ListEngagementResourceAssociations
- StartEngagementByAcceptingInvitationTask
- StartEngagementFromOpportunityTask
A bunch associated with resources:
- ListResourceSnapshots
- GetResourceSnapshot
- CreateResourceSnapshot
- ListResourceSnapshotJobs
- GetResourceSnapshotJob
- CreateResourceSnapshotJob
- StartResourceSnapshotJob
- StopResourceSnapshotJob
- DeleteResourceSnapshotJob
A couple of loose ends:
- GetSellingSystemSettings
- PutSellingSystemSettings
A real loner, about solutions. (You know, we thought they might finally release an API for managing solutions, but no, not yet):
- ListSolutions
And the obligatory “tag this” method collection:
- ListTagsForResource
- TagResource
- UntagResource
The wrap up
Thats quite a lot, but really focused on opportunities and engagement. We’ll drill down into specific aspects of the Selling API over the next few weeks as we work with partners to share and progress their opportunities with AWS.
