# FBA Inventory API
Learn how to programmatically retrieve information about inventory in Amazon's fulfillment network.
You use the [Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) Inventory API](https://developer-docs.amazon.com/sp-api/reference/fba-inventory-v1) to retrieve information and track the real-time availability of your inventory in Amazon's fulfillment network at the marketplace level. You can get details such as listing condition and inventory quantities such as:
* **Fulfillable:** Inventory that can be picked, packed, and shipped.
* **Inbound:** Inventory that is on its way to Amazon's fulfillment network.
* **Reserved:** Inventory in Amazon's fulfillment network that is being picked, packed, and shipped; or is sidelined for measurement, sampling, or other internal processes.
* **Unfulfillable:** Inventory that cannot be sold.
* **Researching:** Inventory that is misplaced or warehouse damaged units that are actively being confirmed at an Amazon fulfillment center.
This API is available in all marketplaces.
