Amazon MWS ODBC Driver Amazon MWS (Marketplace Web Service) Connector can be used to integrated web service API that helps Amazon sellers to programmatically exchange data on listings, orders, payments, reports, and more. In this article you will learn how to quickly and efficiently integrate Amazon MWS data in ODBC without coding. We will use high-performance Amazon MWS Connector to easily connect to Amazon MWS and then access the data inside ODBC. Let's follow the steps below to see how we can accomplish that! Download Documentation 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. Amazon MWS ODBC Driver 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 MWS using ODBC we first need to create a DSN (Data Source) which will access data from Amazon MWS. We will later be able to read data using ODBC. 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.

4. When the Configuration window appears give your data source a name if you haven't done that already, then select "Amazon MWS" from the list of Popular Connectors. If "Amazon MWS" 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:

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.

   Please refer to below API reference (external site) link for OAuth [OAuth]

   https://zappysys.com/links/?url=http://docs.developer.amazonservices.com/en_US/dev_guide/DG_Registering.html

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

   OAuth [OAuth]

   Required Parameters
   AWSAccessKeyId	Fill-in the parameter...
   Secret Key	Fill-in the parameter...
   SellerId	Fill-in the parameter...

   

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:

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 ODBC to retrieve data from Amazon MWS. 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 MWS 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 ODBC:

   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 MWS 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 MWS servers).

9. Click OK to finish creating the data source.

Conclusion

In this article we showed you how to connect to Amazon MWS in ODBC and integrate data without any coding, saving you time and effort. It's worth noting that ZappySys API Driver allows you to connect not only to Amazon MWS, but to any Java application that supports JDBC (just use a different JDBC driver and configure it appropriately).

We encourage you to download Amazon MWS Connector for ODBC and see how easy it is to use it for yourself or your team.
