your-first-report

Note that this is sandbox. If you have not registered profiles in sandbox you 
will need to do so prior to making these calls. You will also need at least 
one campaign, ad group, and keyword before you see anything in the report. 
While in sandbox, we will return “dummy” data so that you can see how an actual 
report would look.
 
To make it look nicer, I always export my access token prior to making calls. 
You could do the same for API-Scope (profile Id) if you wish. Make sure to use 
quotes around the access token if it isn’t URL encoded. It has a | (pipe) 
symbol and your shell won’t like it.
 
$ export AUTH="MY_ACCESS_TOKEN"
 
 
1) Request the report:
 
$ curl \
  -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: bearer $AUTH" \
  -H "Amazon-Advertising-API-Scope: ABC1234567890" \
  -d '{"reportDate": "20161010", "campaignType": "sponsoredProducts", "metrics": "impressions,clicks,cost", "segment": "query"}' \
  https://advertising-api-test.amazon.com/v1/keywords/report
 
Response:
{
  "reportId":"amzn1.clicksAPI.v1.m1.580149D6.c7aa92c1-ca5b-435d-bb8b-51cb26ad5731",
  "recordType":"keyword",
  "status":"IN_PROGRESS",
  "statusDetails":"Report is being generated."
}
 
 
2) Get the report (actually getting the location for downloading):
 
$ curl \
  -H "Authorization: bearer $AUTH" \
  -H "Amazon-Advertising-API-Scope: ABC1234567890" \
  https://advertising-api-test.amazon.com/v1/reports/amzn1.clicksAPI.v1.m1.580149D6.c7aa92c1-ca5b-435d-bb8b-51cb26ad5731
 
Response:
{
  "reportId":"amzn1.clicksAPI.v1.m1.580149D6.c7aa92c1-ca5b-435d-bb8b-51cb26ad5731",
  "status":"SUCCESS",
  "statusDetails":"Report has been generated successfully. Pending publish to S3.",
  "location":"https://advertising-api-test.amazon.com/v1/reports/amzn1.clicksAPI.v1.m1.580149D6.c7aa92c1-ca5b-435d-bb8b-51cb26ad5731/download",
  "fileSize":236
}
 
 
3) Get the download location to S3. This is returned in the header. The file 
is also gzipped. Notice the use of the -v flag so CURL will show headers.
 
$ curl -v \
  -H "Authorization: bearer $AUTH" \
  -H "Amazon-Advertising-API-Scope: ABC1234567890" \
  https://advertising-api-test.amazon.com/v1/reports/amzn1.clicksAPI.v1.m1.580149D6.c7aa92c1-ca5b-435d-bb8b-51cb26ad5731/download

4) “Location” is the S3 location where the report can be downloaded. You 
don’t have to send authorization headers to get this. You can get it just 
by visiting the URL. It will expire very quickly so be sure you get it ASAP. 
You will probably need to put quotes around it as the URL contains characters 
such as & that the shell will interpret as you trying to background the process, 
which we don’t want.
 
$ curl -o /tmp/report.json.gz "https://sandboxreports.s3.amazonaws.com/amzn1.clicksAPI.v1.m1.580149D6.c7aa92c1-ca5b-435d-bb8b-51cb26ad5731?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAIKLHNT32USZOWVRA&Expires=1476479900&Signature=I%2F2Gd%2B8TbcPbXbBUM6ix%2BSVP3qA%3D"
 
 
5) Profit:
 
$ less /tmp/report.json.gz

Hi there,

There's no any other way to download reports from advertising API. I understand your concern. The maximum report generation time is 15 mins and you should not make API requests synchronously which means you should use queue for report or snapshot functions.

Hi, I'm having a problem at this point:

$ curl -v
-H "Authorization: bearer $AUTH"
-H "Amazon-Advertising-API-Scope: ABC1234567890"
https://advertising-api-test.amazon.com/v1/reports/amzn1.clicksAPI.v1.m1.580149D6.c7aa92c1-ca5b-435d-bb8b-51cb26ad5731/download

When I make my request I get a response body that looks like this: "only one auth mechanism allowed; only the X-Amz-Algorithm query parameter…”
Does anyone know what is going on? Looks like the request is getting 2 authorization, but I'm only using the bearer Auth and the amazon-advertisign-API-scope

Hi Everyone,
I would like to download report like this
curl -o /tmp/report.json.gz "https://-------------------b26ad5731/download"

How to setup curl -o in php. I am newbie
Please help me
thanks

@lucarigo did you manage to resolve your issue with "only one auth mechanism allowed; only the X-Amz-Algorithm query parameter…” as I seem to be getting the same issue when trying to download the report.

Hi Everyone,

Is there any way to get the total spending and total sales of the campaign without generating a report? Reports usually take a lot of time to generate and process.

Thanks
