Ask HN: How does the Shop app pull my Amazon orders?

1 pointdevstein2 comments

To my knowledge Amazon doesn’t have APIs for pulling orders. Does anyone know how the Shop app is able to continue pulling orders after I login to Amazon?

Did you give it access to your Gmail account? It might use the emails that Amazon sends to track your orders.

No, I logged into my Amazon account. I’m curious how they are storing my credentials or access token.
