Retrieve a Report
Get reports from Amazon to help selling partners manage their business.
API Version: 2021-06-30
Get the information required to retrieve a report document and then download the report.
Step 1. Get the information required to retrieve the report
Call the getReportDocument
operation to get the information required for retrieving a report document's contents. This includes a pre-signed URL for the report document and optionally, the compression algorithm used if the report document contents have been compressed.
- Call the
getReportDocument
operation, passing the following parameter:
Path parameter:
Name | Description | Required |
---|---|---|
reportDocumentId |
The identifier for the report document. Type: string |
Yes |
Request example:
GET https://sellingpartnerapi-na.amazon.com/reports/2021-06-30/documents/DOC-b8b0-4226-b4b9-0ee058ea5760
Response
A successful response includes the following:
Name | Description |
---|---|
reportDocumentId |
The identifier for the report document. This identifier is unique only in combination with a seller ID. |
url |
A pre-signed URL for the report document. This URL expires after five minutes.
Type: string |
compressionAlgorithm |
If present, the report document contents have been compressed with the provided algorithm. Type: enum ( |
Response example:
{
"reportDocumentId": "DOC-b8b0-4226-b4b9-0ee058ea5760",
"url": "https://d34o8swod1owfl.cloudfront.net/SampleResult%2BKey%3DSample%2BINITVEC%3D58+fa+bf+a7+08+11+95+0f+c1+a8+c6+e0+d5+6f+ae+c8"
}
- Save the
url
, andcompressionAlgorithm
(optional property) for use in Step 2.
Step 2. Download the report
You must download the report using the information returned in Step 1. The following sample code demonstrates how to download a plain text report document. You can also use the principles demonstrated in the sample code to guide you in building applications in other programming languages, or for other types of documents (such as XML, CSV, TSV).
-
Use the following as inputs for the sample code:
- The
url
and optionalcompressionAlgorithm
values from the previous step are arguments for theurl
, andcompressionAlgorithm
parameters of thedownload
method of theDownloadExample
class.
- The
Note: You must always maintain encryption at rest. Unencrypted report content must never be stored on disk, even temporarily, because reports can contain sensitive information. The sample code that we provide demonstrates this principle.
