Overview

You need obtain your own credentials with Amazon that may include an amazon developer account and access as seller or vendor. Please view the checklist of Amazon Ads API onboarding overview

Code Credentials

You can use your credentials as follows passing it to the client as a dict. Please review the full documentation to see all posibilities to include your credentials.

from ad_api.api import sponsored_products


my_credentials = dict(
    refresh_token='your-refresh_token',
    client_id='your-client_id',
    client_secret='your-client_secret',
    profile_id='your-profile_id',
)

info = \
    {
        "stateFilter":
            {
                "include": [
                    "ENABLED"
                ]
            }
    }

result = sponsored_products.CampaignsV3(credentials=my_credentials).list_campaigns(
    body=info
)

YAML Credentials

Use a credentials.yml file with your credentials for more convenience and manage diferent accounts or profiles. Amazon requires one profile per marketplace so it is helpful to keep all in one file and switch directly from the code, using the account.

Create a file credentials.yml

version: '1.0'

default:
  refresh_token: 'your-refresh-token'
  client_id: 'your-client-id'
  client_secret: 'your-client-secret'
  profile_id: 'your-profile-id'

germany:
  refresh_token: 'other-refresh-token'
  client_id: 'other-client-id'
  client_secret: 'other-client-secret'
  profile_id: 'other-profile-id'

Python code

from ad_api.api import sponsored_products

# Leave empty will use the 'default' account
result=sponsored_products.CampaignsV3().list_campaigns()
# will use germany account data
result=sponsored_products.CampaignsV3(account="germany").list_campaigns()

Search path for credentials.yml

• macOS and Other Unix: ~/.config/python-ad-api
• Windows: %APPDATA%\python-ad-api where the APPDATA environment variable falls back to %HOME%\AppData\Roaming if undefined

Confuse Help

Marketplaces

Marketplaces are used to define basically the API endpoints Amazon need to use depending on the regions, by default it will use EU so if you are using one of the marketplaces that are under the Europe (EU). Covers UK, FR, IT, ES, DE, NL, AE, SE, PL, and TR marketplaces you can skip. If you are using either North America (NA) or Far East (FE), you will need import from base and pass the marketplace as follows:

from ad_api.api import sponsored_products
from ad_api.base import Marketplaces

# You can pass NA or US, CA, MX or BR for North America and JP, AU or SG for Far East
result=sponsored_products.CampaignsV3(marketplace=Marketplaces.NA).list_campaigns()

Exceptions

You can use a try except statement when you call the API and catch exceptions if some problem ocurred:

from ad_api.api import sponsored_products
from ad_api.base import AdvertisingApiException

info = \
    {
        "stateFilter":
            {
                "include": [
                    "ENABLED"
                ]
            }
    }

try:

    result = sponsored_products.CampaignsV3().list_campaigns(
        body=info
    )

    logging.info(result)

except AdvertisingApiException as error:
    logging.info(error)

Debug

Use debug=True if you want see some logs like the header you submit to the api endpoint, the method and path used among the params and the data submitted if any, to trace some possible errors.

from ad_api.api import sponsored_products
from ad_api.base import AdvertisingApiException


info = \
    {
        "stateFilter":
            {
                "include": [
                    "ENABLED"
                ]
            }
    }

try:

    result = sponsored_products.CampaignsV3(debug=True).list_campaigns(
        body=info
    )

    logging.info(result)

except AdvertisingApiException as error:
    logging.info(error)

import logging
from ad_api.api import Profiles
from ad_api.base import AdvertisingApiException

logging.basicConfig(
    level=logging.DEBUG,
    format="%(asctime)s:%(levelname)s:%(message)s"
)


def register_assistant(value: str):

    logging.info("-------------------------------------")
    logging.info("Profiles > register_assistant(%s)" % value)
    logging.info("-------------------------------------")

    try:

        result = Profiles(debug=True).register_assistant(
            country_code=value
        )
        logging.info(result)

    except AdvertisingApiException as error:
        logging.info(error)


if __name__ == '__main__':

    amz_country_code = "ES"
    register_assistant(amz_country_code)

Or you could do with a curl command, note the {"countryCode":"ES"} that refers to the marketplace you will operate.

curl \
    -X PUT \
    -H "Content-Type:application/json" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer Your-Token \
    -H "Amazon-Advertising-API-ClientId: your-client-id" \
    --data '{"countryCode":"ES"}' \

Amazon Ads API v1 (new, unified)

The v1 API lives under /adsApi/v1/ and is not split by product: every call targets the same resource and the product is selected in the request body with adProductFilter. It supersedes the per-product v2/v3 endpoints.

• Campaigns
• Ad Groups
• Ads
• Targets

Modules Available Sponsored Products

Warning: the campaign, ad group and product ad operations are deprecated in favour of the v1 endpoints. In product targeting only the four CRUD operations are deprecated; its helper endpoints remain supported. Keywords, negative keywords and negative product targeting have no v1 equivalent yet and stay supported.

• ThemeBased Bid Recommendation
• Keyword Recommendations
• Keywords
• Negative Keywords
• Product Targeting
• Campaign Optimization
• Budget Rules
• Product Ads
• Negative Targeting Clauses
• Campaign Negative Targeting Clauses
• Budget recommendations and missed opportunities
• Budget Rules Recommendation
• Campaigns
• Ad Groups
• Consolidated Recommendations
• Campaign Negative Keywords
• Product Recommendations
• Budget Usage
• Reports

Modules Available Sponsored Brands 3.0

Campaigns and Ad Groups are deprecated in v3: Amazon answers 403 Endpoint has been deprecated and points to the v4 API. Use the 4.0 section below for those two.

• Campaigns (deprecated)
• Ad Groups (deprecated)
• Keywords
• Negative Keywords
• Keywords Recommendations
• Product Targeting
• Negative Product Targeting
• Targeting Recommendations
• Bid Recommendations
• Benchmarks
• Stores
• Landing Page Asins
• Media
• Brands
• Themes
• Reports

Modules Available Sponsored Brands 4.0

The 4.0 contract is fully covered: every operation is implemented except the campaign moderation route, which the service answers with a router 404, and the report download, which resolves through the shared _download helper.

• Campaigns
• Ad Groups
• Ads
• Ad Creatives
• Forecast
• Recommendations
• Budget Rules
• Optimization Rules
• Targeting Categories
• Migration

Most 4.0 routes take a versioned media type and the service routes on it. With application/json they answer 404 Could not find resource, which reads like a missing route but is only the wrong media type. This affects forecasts, budget recommendations, optimization rules, migrations, insights, negative brand recommendations and the collection creatives.

Amazon Ads API v1 - basic example

from ad_api.api import v1

result = v1.Campaigns(credentials=credentials, debug=True).query_campaigns(
    body={
        "adProductFilter": {"include": ["SPONSORED_PRODUCTS"]},
        "stateFilter": {"include": ["ENABLED"]},
        "maxResults": 100,
    }
)

campaigns = result.payload.get("campaigns")
next_token = result.payload.get("nextToken")

Simple Example Usage Campaigns with Credentials (v3, legacy)

Warning: this example uses CampaignsV3.list_campaigns, which is deprecated. See the v1 query_campaigns example above.

import logging
from ad_api.base import AdvertisingApiException
from ad_api.api import sponsored_products

logging.basicConfig(
    level=logging.DEBUG,
    format="%(asctime)s:%(levelname)s:%(message)s"
)

def sp_list_campaigns_v3(info: dict = None):

    credentials = dict(
        refresh_token='your-refresh_token',
        client_id='your-client_id',
        client_secret='your-client_secret',
        profile_id='your-profile_id',
    )

    try:
        result = sponsored_products.CampaignsV3(credentials=credentials, debug=True).list_campaigns(
            body=info
        )
        payload = result.payload
        return payload
    except AdvertisingApiException as error:
        logging.error(error)
        logging.error(error.code)


state_filter = \

                "include": [
                    "ENABLED"
                ]
            }
    }

enabled_campaigns = sp_list_campaigns_v3(state_filter).get("campaigns")


for campaign in enabled_campaigns:
    logging.info(campaign)
