POHas anyone succeeded at downloading orders from Amazon Seller Central using PHP?
text
Body
copied!<p>It looks like this question has been asked before, here and in other places on the web, but I have yet to find any solid documentation on how it's done.</p> <p>We need a way to pragmatically "suck" orders out of Amazon Seller Central on a regular basis, and insert the data into a database on our server for processing. There's hints that you can create a nuSOAP client that does this, but Amazon's documentation is weak to non-existent.</p> <p>Has anyone actually got this to work? Is there a good resource that I may have overlooked?</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Nick</p> <p><br /> <br /> <strong>* Latest Update (9.01.09) *</strong><br /></p> <p>Amazon turned my reports into XML format, but this still isn't working.</p> <p>I get the response:</p> <pre><code><SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:SE="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"> <SOAP-ENV:Body> <ns1:ArrayOfMerchantDocumentInfo_Response xsi:type="ns0:ArrayOfMerchantDocumentInfo" xmlns:ns0="http://www.amazon.com/merchants/merchant-interface/" xmlns:ns1="http://systinet.com/xsd/SchemaTypes/"/> </SOAP-ENV:Body> </SOAP-ENV:Envelope> </code></pre> <p><br /> Which is supposed to be a list of available documents (orders). But it looks like a bunch of nothing to me! I can't believe that No one knows how to do this. Amazon has some pretty big companies selling there and I have a hard time believing they all invoice by hand!</p> <p><br /> <strong>* Update *</strong><br /></p> <p>I've found a sample written in PHP, <a href="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/cba/documents/cba-merchantAtAPIs-php.zip" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>. Unfortunately, It doesn't work. It (quite literally) does nothing.</p> <p>I sent an email to their support department, and got a one-line RTM pointing to this <a href="https://sellercentral.amazon.com/gp/help/help.html/ref=ag_221_bred_16471?ie=UTF8&itemID=221&language=en_US" rel="nofollow noreferrer">less than thorough documentation</a>.</p> <p>I'm still going to try and get this working, and I'll post back with update- But if we can't get this going soon, we're going to have to drop Amazon. We've gotten too large to process orders manually, and clearly they don't care about helping their customers.</p> <p><br /> <strong>* Amazon's Documentation Says: *</strong><br /></p> <pre>Although Amazon.com developed this initial version, we have no intent to support, maintain, or otherwise revise it in the future. Our hope is that someone in the Open Source community will step forward as the package maintainer, and later release new versions pursuant to the applicable licensing requirements.</pre> <p>Thanks, Amazon, for being so useful.</p>
