Vendor Central Data Model
The CData Python Connector for Amazon Marketplace models the Vendor Central API as relational views, and stored procedures.
To use Amazon Vendor Central Data Model, simply set Schema to VendorCentral.
Views
Views are tables that cannot be modified, such as VendorOrders, CatalogItems. Typically, data that are read-only and cannot be updated are shown as views.
Stored Procedures
Stored Procedures are function-like interfaces to the data source. They can be used to search, update, and modify information in the data source.
Using Reports
For each report type there is a view exposed. For example, report type FEE_DISCOUNTS_REPORT will be exposed as a view named REPORT_FEE_DISCOUNTS_REPORT. These views can then be queried by using 'DataStartTime' and 'DataEndTime' optional datetime parameters. When both datetime parameters are specified, the driver automatically searches for an existing report that matches the specified interval, and if not found a new report is created. Reports can be manually created with the RequestReport stored procedure. You can also use ReportOptions JSON-aggregate pseudo-column to specify additional fields that may be required depending on report type. For more details about report options please check Amazon Selling-Partner API Documentation
After a report has been created and pushed to the result set, the next time you query this report type with the 'DataStartTime' and 'DataEndTime' same filters, the previously created report is downloaded instead of creating a new report.
