  5. 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:

  6. 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.

    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: Amazon developer profile settings
    5. Then click Security Profiles and proceed with creating a new Security Profile:
    6. Create Amazon developer security profile
    7. 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:
    8. Reveal client secret in Amazon developer security profile
    9. Continue by setting Allowed Return URLs (you can have your own or use https://zappysys.com/oauth): Set return URLs in Amazon developer security profile
    10. Done! Now you can use Client ID, Client Secret, and Redirect URL when configuring OAuth Authentication parameters: Use client ID and client secret to connect to REST API Amazon services

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

    AmazonAdsDSN
    Amazon Ads
    OAuth Authentication [OAuth]

    ODBC DSN Oauth Connection Configuration

  7. 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
    Open Query Builder in API ODBC Driver to read and write data to REST API
  8. 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 Talend Studio to retrieve data from Amazon Ads. Hit OK button to use this query in the next step.

    SELECT * FROM Orders
    Configure table/endpoint parameters in ODBC data source based on API Driver
    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.
  9. 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 Talend Studio:

    Amazon Ads Connector can be used to get Amazon advertisements using Amazon Advertisements API, download various advertisement-related reports.
    AmazonAdsDSN
    SELECT * FROM Orders
    API ODBC Driver-based data source data preview
    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).
  10. Click OK to finish creating the data source.
