How to set date range for requestReport using Amazon Advertising API?

Question

Is it possible to set date range for requestReport?

POST /v2/sp/{recordType}/report

 {
   "segment": {segment},
   "reportDate": {reportDate}, <-- here
   "metrics": {metrics}
 }  

Or do I need to make 30 request in order to get results for a month? Maybe snapshots can help?

Answer 1

Yes, you have to do multiple requests (one for each day) and merge them. The Advertising API currently does not offer an option to request data for a date range. Snapshots can maybe help you to get data which has no click data for the requested date(s).

Answer 2

Yes, you do. What I do is run it daily using a cron job and load the data into a database, and query the database. Keep in mind certain metrics, like sales, don't finalize until after the attribution window e.g. 14 days.
