getOrderBuyerInfo replacement: migration guide and scanner checklist
getOrderBuyerInfo replacement explains what replaces getOrderBuyerInfo, the removal date, the migration risks to validate, and how API Migration Guard detects the pattern.
- Target keyword: getOrderBuyerInfo replacement
- Removed: getOrderBuyerInfo
- Replacement: getOrder with includedData=BUYER
- Removal date: March 27, 2027
TL;DR
| Deprecated item | Removal date | Replacement | Migration risk | Scanner detection |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| getOrderBuyerInfo | March 27, 2027 | getOrder with includedData=BUYER | Buyer fields can be missing because of role approval, includedData, eligibility or redaction. | AMZ-ORD-OPERATION-001 |
Official status
Amazon documentation lists getOrderBuyerInfo as in-scope for this migration. Use the official source before code freeze because deadlines and replacement details can change.

Production Orders validation plan
Orders migrations need same-order parity checks because the v2026 model consolidates data that v0 teams often fetched through separate buyer, address and item calls. Treat each finding as a prompt to validate a captured order before code freeze.
| Validation area | Production proof to collect |
|---|---|
| includedData | Record which paths require BUYER, RECIPIENT and ITEMS and confirm role approval for each marketplace. |
| Payload parity | Compare one shipped, one unshipped and one cancelled order against the legacy consumer contract. |
| Pagination | Exercise paginationToken with the original search filters and confirm retry behavior for expired tokens. |
| Downstream jobs | Re-run tax, fulfillment, notification and support workflows that consume order fields. |
Buyer PII access matrix
getOrderBuyerInfo migrations fail when teams request includedData=BUYER but never prove each buyer field is eligible for the seller, marketplace, fulfillment channel and order status. Build the test around field-level expectations, not a single buyer object.
| Field to verify | Request shape | Access or eligibility gate | Parity expectation |
|---|---|---|---|
| buyer.buyerEmail | getOrder or searchOrders with includedData=BUYER | Direct-to-Consumer Delivery role, merchant fulfillment and eligible order status | Missing email is a role or eligibility finding, not a parser bug. |
| buyer.buyerName | getOrder or searchOrders with includedData=BUYER | Tax or shipping restricted roles plus marketplace-specific availability | Document expected redaction for US, Japan and Singapore before closing the ticket. |
| buyer.buyerPurchaseOrderNumber | getOrder or searchOrders with includedData=BUYER | Amazon Business order identified by programs=AMAZON_BUSINESS | Absent PO number on a consumer order should not fail parity. |
Removed resource and replacement
| Old resource | Replacement | Deadline | Validation outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| getOrderBuyerInfo | getOrder with includedData=BUYER | March 27, 2027 | Buyer fields can be missing because of role approval, includedData, eligibility or redaction. |
What breaks
| Area | Breakage |
|---|---|
| Code pattern | Legacy Orders v0 call or endpoint usage for getOrderBuyerInfo. |
| Payload or schema | v2026 responses use changed field names, includedData sections and different enum semantics. |
| Permission or data access | Buyer and recipient PII require approved roles and includedData, not an old RDT workflow. |
| Pagination, status or field mapping | NextToken becomes paginationToken and can expire after 24 hours; status and fulfillment values need parity checks. |
Before/after example
The example is intentionally small so the migration shape is visible in a code review.
Before:
const buyer = await client.getOrderBuyerInfo(orderId);
After:
const order = await client.getOrder({ orderId, includedData: ['BUYER'] });Scanner detection
| Rule ID | Severity | Evidence pattern | False positive condition | Validation step |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AMZ-ORD-OPERATION-001 | BLOCKER or HIGH depending on evidence type | getOrderBuyerInfo | Documentation, comments, generated clients or test fixtures can require manual review. | Confirm the code path is production runtime, not only docs, comments or generated vendor output. |
Migration checklist
- Confirm the code path is production runtime, not only docs, comments or generated vendor output.
- Replace the legacy operation with the v2026 operation and required includedData.
- Compare same-order v0 and v2026 payloads in the Orders Payload Parity Validator.
- Re-scan and confirm Orders rule IDs are fixed or explicitly accepted as manual risk.
Common mistakes
- Treating includedData as a search filter instead of response data selection.
- Assuming RDT migration alone restores buyer or recipient fields.
- Stopping pagination or mapping enums without comparing representative order payloads.

FAQ
What is the replacement for getOrderBuyerInfo replacement?
getOrder with includedData=BUYER
Does API Migration Guard call Amazon?
No. It statically scans source and validates pasted samples without Amazon credentials.
What proves the migration is safe?
A re-scan with no blocking Orders findings plus same-order payload parity for buyer, recipient, item, status and fulfillment fields.
