Just shipped `amazon-catalog-cli` v1.3.0 - the free CLI tool for auditing Amazon Category Listing Reports.
What's New
Marketplace Detection
```bash
$ catalog scan my-clr.xlsx --format json
{
"marketplace": "CA",
"is_us_marketplace": false,
...
}
```
Auto-detects marketplace from CLR metadata. Supports: US, CA, UK, DE, FR, IT, ES, JP, AU, IN, MX, BR. Future Updates for marketplace specific.
Bullet Awareness Checks (Query #12)
New `bullet-awareness` query flags soft violations that can hurt conversion:
All caps at beginning:
```
❌ "PREMIUM QUALITY FORMULA delivers..."
✅ "Premium quality formula delivers..."
```
Excessive caps (>30%):**
```
❌ "POWERFUL CLEANING ACTION for MAXIMUM RESULTS"
✅ "Powerful cleaning action for maximum results"
```
Problematic special chars:
- Unusual quotes: ", ", «, »
- Math symbols: ×, ÷, ≈
- Arrows: →, ←, ↑, ↓
*Note: Smart punctuation (em-dash —, en-dash –) explicitly allowed.*
Why This Matters
- Multi-marketplace workflows:Know which market you're auditing
- Soft violations: Amazon won't reject these, but they hurt conversion
- 12 queries total: Still zero cost, still MIT licensed
Install
```bash
pip install --upgrade amazon-catalog-cli
```
Quick Test
```bash
# Check marketplace
catalog scan clr.xlsx --format json | jq '.marketplace'
Run new bullet check
catalog check bullet-awareness clr.xlsx
```
