How to read Amazon Selling Partner (SP-API) data in MS SQL/SSRS/Java using ZappySys Data Gateway?

In this section we will learn how to configure and use Amazon Selling Partner (SP-API) Connector in the API Driver to extract data from the Amazon Selling Partner (SP-API).

Create Data Source in ZappySys Data Gateway based on API Driver

Download and install ZappySys ODBC PowerPack.
Search for gateway in start menu and Open ZappySys Data Gateway:
Go to Users Tab to add our first Gateway user. Click Add; we will give it a name tdsuser and enter password you like to give. Check Admin option and click OK to save. We will use these details later when we create linked server:
Now we are ready to add a data source. Click Add, give data source a name (Copy this name somewhere, we will need it later) and then select Native - ZappySys API Driver. Finally, click OK. And it will create the Data Set for it and open the ZS driver UI.
