Overview

You need obtain your own credentials with Amazon that may include an amazon developper 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',
)

result=sponsored_products.Campaigns(credentials=my_credentials).list_campaigns()

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.Campaigns().list_campaigns()
# will use germany account data
result=sponsored_products.Campaigns(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

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.Campaigns(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

try:

    result = sponsored_products.Campaigns().get_campaign_extended(
        campaignId=campaign_id
    )

    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 possible errors.

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

try:

    result = sponsored_products.Campaigns(debug=True).get_campaign_extended(
        campaignId=campaign_id
    )

    logging.info(result)

except AdvertisingApiException as error:
    logging.info(error)

Set Up

Create a .env file and put in the root of your project ( SANDBOX or PRODUCTION )

# environment variables defined inside a .env file
AWS_ENV=SANDBOX

.
├── .env
└── campaign_client.py

Switcher SandBox Environment

Use a .env to manage the environment. Is high recommended try the SANDBOX environment as some features may delete (archive) modules as campaigns, ad groups,...etc and this cannot be undone.

AWS_ENV=SANDBOX
# AWS_ENV=PRODUCTION

To use the sandbox you may create a test profile id to include in your credentials with this python amazon advertising api note the amz_country_code = "ES" refers to the marketplace you will create the test sandbox account.

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"}' \
