# Amazon Product Advertising API vs Social Fetch — which should I use?

Use Amazon PA-API when you need official ASIN catalogs, advertising, or seller integrations they offer for your account. Use Social Fetch when you need a public creator Shop page as JSON without Amazon partner credentials — especially next to TikTok Shop and other storefronts on one key.
