Amazon Ads Connector for Azure Data Factory (Pipeline) Amazon Ads Connector can be used to get Amazon advertisements using Amazon Advertisements API, download various advertisement-related reports. In this article you will learn how to quickly and efficiently integrate Amazon Ads data in Azure Data Factory (Pipeline) without coding. We will use high-performance Amazon Ads Connector to easily connect to Amazon Ads and then access the data inside Azure Data Factory (Pipeline). Let's follow the steps below to see how we can accomplish that! Download Documentation Amazon Ads Connector for Azure Data Factory (Pipeline) is based on ZappySys API Driver which is part of ODBC PowerPack. It is a collection of high-performance ODBC drivers that enable you to integrate data in SQL Server, SSIS, a programming language, or any other ODBC-compatible application. ODBC PowerPack supports various file formats, sources and destinations, including REST/SOAP API, SFTP/FTP, storage services, and plain files, to mention a few.

Create ODBC Data Source (DSN) based on ZappySys API Driver

Step-by-step instructions

To get data from Amazon Ads using Azure Data Factory (Pipeline) we first need to create a DSN (Data Source) which will access data from Amazon Ads. We will later be able to read data using Azure Data Factory (Pipeline). Perform these steps:

1. Download and install ODBC PowerPack.

2. Open ODBC Data Sources (x64):

   

3. Create a User data source (User DSN) based on ZappySys API Driver

   ZappySys API Driver

   
   • Create and use User DSN if the client application is run under a User Account. This is an ideal option in design-time, when developing a solution, e.g. in Visual Studio 2019. Use it for both type of applications - 64-bit and 32-bit.
   • Create and use System DSN if the client application is launched under a System Account, e.g. as a Windows Service. Usually, this is an ideal option to use in a production environment. Use ODBC Data Source Administrator (32-bit), instead of 64-bit version, if Windows Service is a 32-bit application.
   Azure Data Factory (Pipeline) uses a Service Account, when a solution is deployed to production environment, therefore for production environment you have to create and use a System DSN.

4. When the Configuration window appears give your data source a name if you haven't done that already, then select "Amazon Ads" from the list of Popular Connectors. If "Amazon Ads" is not present in the list, then click "Search Online" and download it. Then set the path to the location where you downloaded it. Finally, click Continue >> to proceed with configuring the DSN:

   AmazonAdsDSN

   Amazon Ads

   

5. Now it's time to configure the Connection Manager. Select Authentication Type, e.g. Token Authentication. Then select API Base URL (in most cases, the default one is the right one). More info is available in the Authentication section.

    OAuth Authentication [OAuth]

   Amazon OAuth Security Profile has be created in Amazon Developer portal. [API reference]

   Steps how to get and use Amazon Ads credentials : OAuth Authentication [OAuth]
   

   1. Firstly, login into Amazon Developer portal in https://developer.amazon.com.
   2. Then click Sign in.
   3. If you don't have an account, press Create your Amazon Developer account button to create one.
   4. Once logged in, click on your profile icon on the right-top of the window and hit Settings:
   5. Then click Security Profiles and proceed with creating a new Security Profile:
   
   6. After that, click Web Settings subtab, then hit Show Secret button to reveal the Client Secret (you will need it later), and click Edit to add a Redirect URL:
   
   7. Continue by setting Allowed Return URLs (you can have your own or use https://zappysys.com/oauth):
   8. Done! Now you can use Client ID, Client Secret, and Redirect URL when configuring OAuth Authentication parameters:

   Fill in all required parameters and set optional parameters if needed:

   AmazonAdsDSN

   Amazon Ads

   OAuth Authentication [OAuth]

   https://advertising-api.amazon.com/v2

   Required Parameters
   ClientId	Fill-in the parameter...
   ClientSecret	Fill-in the parameter...
   AuthorizationUrl	Fill-in the parameter...
   ReturnUrl	Fill-in the parameter...
   Scope	Fill-in the parameter...
   Profile (click 'Generate Token' before this)	Fill-in the parameter...
   Optional Parameters
   RetryMode	RetryWhenStatusCodeMatch
   RetryStatusCodeList	429
   RetryCountMax	5
   RetryMultiplyWaitTime	True

   

6. Once the data source connection has been configured, it's time to configure the SQL query. Select the Preview tab and then click Query Builder button to configure the SQL query:

   Amazon Ads Connector can be used to get Amazon advertisements using Amazon Advertisements API, download various advertisement-related reports.

   AmazonAdsDSN

   

7. Start by selecting the Table or Endpoint you are interested in and then configure the parameters. This will generate a query that we will use in Azure Data Factory (Pipeline) to retrieve data from Amazon Ads. Hit OK button to use this query in the next step.

   SELECT * FROM Orders

   
   Some parameters configured in this window will be passed to the Amazon Ads API, e.g. filtering parameters. It means that filtering will be done on the server side (instead of the client side), enabling you to get only the meaningful data much faster.

8. Now hit Preview Data button to preview the data using the generated SQL query. If you are satisfied with the result, use this query in Azure Data Factory (Pipeline):

   AmazonAdsDSN

   SELECT * FROM Orders

   
   You can also access data quickly from the tables dropdown by selecting <Select table>.
   A WHERE clause, LIMIT keyword will be performed on the client side, meaning that the whole result set will be retrieved from the Amazon Ads API first, and only then the filtering will be applied to the data. If possible, it is recommended to use parameters in Query Builder to filter the data on the server side (in Amazon Ads servers).

9. Click OK to finish creating the data source.

Read data in Azure Data Factory (ADF) from ODBC datasource (Amazon Ads)

1. To start press New button:

   

2. Select "Azure, Self-Hosted" option:

   

3. Select "Self-Hosted" option:

   

4. Set a name, we will use "OnPremisesRuntime":

   

5. Download and install Microsoft Integration Runtime.

6. Launch Integration Runtime and copy/paste Authentication Key from Integration Runtime configuration in Azure Portal:

   

7. After finishing registering the Integration Runtime node, you should see a similar view:

   

8. Go back to Azure Portal and finish adding new Integration Runtime. You should see it was successfully added:

   

9. Go to Linked services section and create a new Linked service based on ODBC:

   

10. Select "ODBC" service:

    

11. Configure new ODBC service. Use the same DSN name we used in the previous step and copy it to Connection string box:

    AmazonAdsDSN

    DSN=AmazonAdsDSN

    

12. For created ODBC service create ODBC-based dataset:

    

13. Go to your pipeline and add Copy data connector into the flow. In Source section use OdbcDataset we created as a source dataset:

    

14. Then go to Sink section and select a destination/sink dataset. In this example we use precreated AzureBlobStorageDataset which saves data into an Azure Blob:

    

15. Finally, run the pipeline and see data being transferred from OdbcDataset to your destination dataset:
