Replicate Amazon Marketplace Data from PowerShell
Write a quick PowerShell script to query Amazon Marketplace data. Use connectivity to the live data to replicate Amazon Marketplace data to SQL Server.
The CData ODBC Driver for Amazon Marketplace enables out-of-the-box integration with Microsoft's built-in support for ODBC. The ODBC driver instantly integrates connectivity to the real Amazon Marketplace data with PowerShell.
You can use the .NET Framework Provider for ODBC built into PowerShell to quickly automate integration tasks like replicating Amazon Marketplace data to other databases. This article shows how to replicate Amazon Marketplace data to SQL Server in 5 lines of code.
You can also write PowerShell code to download Amazon Marketplace data. See the examples below.
Create an ODBC Data Source for Amazon Marketplace
If you have not already, first specify connection properties in an ODBC DSN (data source name). This is the last step of the driver installation. You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure ODBC DSNs.
To connect to the Amazon Marketplace Webservice (MWS), AWSAccessKeyId, MWSAuthToken, AWSSecretKey and SellerId are required. You can optionally set the Marketplace property. For more information on obtaining values for these properties, refer to the Help documentation.
Connect to Amazon Marketplace
The code below shows how to use the DSN to initialize the connection to Amazon Marketplace data in PowerShell:
$conn = New-Object System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection
$conn.ConnectionString = "DSN=CData AmazonMarketplace Source x64"
Back Up Amazon Marketplace Data to SQL Server
After you enable caching, you can use the code below to replicate data to SQL Server.
Set the following connection properties to configure the caching database:
CacheProvider: The name of the ADO.NET provider. This can be found in the Machine.config for your version of .NET. For example, to configure SQL Server, enter System.Data.SqlClient.
CacheConnection: The connection string of properties required to connect to the database. Below is an example for SQL Server:
Server=localhost;Database=RSB;User Id=sqltest;Password=sqltest;
The SQL query in the example can be used to refresh the entire cached table, including its schema. Any already existing cache is deleted.
$conn.Open()
# Create and execute the SQL Query
$SQL = "CACHE DROP EXISTING SELECT * FROM " + $Orders
$cmd = New-Object System.Data.Odbc.OdbcCommand($sql,$conn)
$count = $cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
$conn.Close()
The driver gives you complete control over the caching functionality. See the help documentation for more caching commands and usage examples. See the help documentation for steps to replicate to other databases.
Other Operations
To retrieve Amazon Marketplace data in PowerShell, call the Fill method of the OdbcDataAdapter method. To execute data manipulation commands, initialize the OdbcCommand object and then call ExecuteNonQuery. Below are some more examples commands to Amazon Marketplace through the .NET Framework Provider for ODBC:
Retrieve Amazon Marketplace Data
$sql="SELECT AmazonOrderId, OrderStatus from Orders"
$da= New-Object System.Data.Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter($sql, $conn)
$dt= New-Object System.Data.DataTable
$da.Fill($dt)
$dt.Rows | foreach {
$dt.Columns | foreach ($col in dt{
Write-Host $1[$_]
}
}
