AWS marketplace: Add regional and global endpoint formats for Discovery API

Service: marketplace · 2026-09-27 · Documentation low

File: marketplace/latest/developerguide/discovery-regions.md · Type: auth

Summary

Adds the regional endpoint format (discovery-marketplace.region.api.aws) and documents the global endpoint (discovery-marketplace.global.api.aws), noting that global endpoint requests must be signed with SigV4a and that pagination tokens aren't portable across Regions.

Security assessment

This is endpoint reference documentation that briefly restates the SigV4a authentication requirement for the global endpoint. It is security-adjacent (authentication) but contains no vulnerability-specific or incident-specific content.

Evidence

Requests to the global endpoint must be signed with AWS Signature Version 4A (SigV4a), and pagination tokens aren't portable across Regions.

+You can also call the Discovery API by using the global endpoint. The global endpoint routes each request to the nearest available AWS Region where the Discovery API is deployed, based on latency and availability health checks. Requests to the global endpoint must be signed with AWS Signature Version 4A (SigV4a), and pagination tokens aren't portable across Regions.
