My company is currently using the Amazon MWS Feeds API to make price updates to merchandise via SubmitFeed. Our issue is with the current throttling, we can only make price changes 4 times / hour. We received a tip from another organization that suggests we can use the Subscription API to update our pricing 2 times / second. Is this possible? What enumeration would we use to do this via Subscription API? From what I can see, you cannot "send" data using Subscription API, only GET pretty much. I do see where you can UpdateSubscription but it looks like that is only for enabling/disabling the subscription? Any help would be much appreciated! I am not a developer, just doing some R&D to help improve our tool, but I can do my best to provide any follow up details. Thank you!

The AnyOfferChanged is the enumeration from the Subscriptions API, but yes, that is read only. You'll get your price changes sent to Amazon SQS in near-real time and in response to those, you can update MWS using a feed and the SubmitFeed operation. The SubmitFeed link shows you ways to maximize performance but you should be able to make more than 4 price changes an hour. I update anywhere from 10 SKU's to a few hundred every 5 minutes around the clock.
