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 \
  -X GET \
  -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 \
  -X GET \
  -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
