We have to add the Credentials in Web.Config file present in the root directory.

<add key="ServiceURL" value="https://mws.amazonservices.com" />
<add key="SellerId" value="seller-id" />
<add key="MarketplaceID" value="marketplace-id" />
<add key="AccessKeyID" value="access-key" />
<add key="SecretKey" value="secret-key" />

Finally, the code which makes us possible to call through the API

using MarketplaceWebServiceProducts;
using MarketplaceWebServiceProducts.Model;
using System;
using System.Configuration;
using System.IO;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using System.Xml;
