Walmart quietly created something very useful for seller automation
Walmart Marketplace introduced Report Scheduler APIs on September 25 for its U.S. marketplace.
Reports can now be scheduled hourly, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly, including:
- inventory
- item performance
- promotions
- Buy Box
- listing quality
- content quality
- inventory recommendations
- SEM performance
- SEM search terms Walmart Developer
One day earlier Walmart added Seller Performance API endpoints covering returns, negative feedback, Item Not Received and late shipments.
This creates a potentially powerful architecture:
Walmart API → scheduled data → AI analysis → exceptions → recommended actions → seller approval
Instead of logging into Seller Center and manually downloading spreadsheets, a seller dashboard could eventually say:
“Three SKUs need attention today.”
NOTE: these particular APIs are currently documented for the U.S. Marketplace, not Walmart Canada.
