Learn how to get XML report (live) using the Amazon MWS Connector for Azure Data Factory (SSIS). This connector enables you to read and write Amazon MWS data effortlessly. Integrate, manage, and automate listings, orders, payments, and reports — almost no coding required. We'll walk you through the exact setup.

Let's dive in!

⚠️ Deprecation Notice: This connector is deprecated
Amazon's MWS (Marketplace Web Service) is being deprecated and replaced by the newer AWS Selling Partner API (SP-API). For a more robust and secure integration, we recommend using our AWS Selling Partner (SP-API) Connector. As Amazon is phasing out MWS functionality and eventually plans to fully deprecate it.

  2. Basic knowledge of SSIS package development using Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services.
  3. SSIS PowerPack is installed (if you are new to SSIS PowerPack, then get started!).
