Question:

I think the error message is misleading (because i checked the documentation twice and because of my former experiences with the API). But what is the real error? How can i get a ASINs report?

Solution

  • I asked Amazon Support and they replied:

    "Asin report would need campaignType in the payload to succeed the operation. We have a documentation update pending on this. Please be noted that query segmentation is only allowed for keyword, target and productAds report. An example payload:-

    GET https://advertising-api.amazon.com/v2/asins/report"

    {
    "reportDate":"20200201",
    "campaignType": "sponsoredProducts",
    "metrics":"campaignName,
               campaignId,
               adGroupName,
               adGroupId,
               keywordId,
               keywordText,
               asin,
               otherAsin,
               currency,
               matchType,
               attributedUnitsOrdered30d,
               attributedUnitsOrdered30dOtherSKU,
               attributedSales30dOtherSKU"
}
