amazon-orders is an unofficial library that provides a Python API (and CLI) for Amazon order history.
This package works by parsing data from Amazon’s consumer-facing website. A periodic build validates functionality to ensure its stability, but as Amazon provides no official API to use, this package may break at any time. Pin the minor version with a wildcard (ex. ==4.0.*, not ==4.0.7)—or reinstall with the --upgrade (as shown below) often—to ensure you always get the latest stable release.
This package only officially supports the English, .com version of Amazon.
Installation
amazon-orders is available on PyPI and can be installed using pip:
pip install amazon-orders --upgrade
That’s it! amazon-orders is now available as a package to your Python projects and from the command line.
Basic Usage
You’ll use AmazonSession to authenticate your Amazon account, then AmazonOrders and AmazonTransactions to interact with account data. get_order_history and get_order are good places to start.
from amazonorders.session import AmazonSession
from amazonorders.orders import AmazonOrders
amazon_session = AmazonSession("<AMAZON_EMAIL>",
"<AMAZON_PASSWORD>")
amazon_session.login()
amazon_orders = AmazonOrders(amazon_session)
orders = amazon_orders.get_order_history(year=2023)
for order in orders:
print(f"{order.order_number} - {order.grand_total}")
If the fields you’re looking for aren’t populated with the above, set full_details=True (or pass --full-details to the history CLI command), since by default it is False (enabling it slows down querying, since an additional request for each order is necessary). Have a look at the Order entity’s docs to see what fields are only populated with full details.
Command Line Usage
You can also run any command available to the main Python interface from the command line:
amazon-orders login
amazon-orders history --year 2023
Automating Authentication
Authentication can be automated by (in order of precedence) storing credentials in environment variables, passing them to AmazonSession, or storing them in AmazonOrdersConfig. The environment variables amazon-orders looks for are:
AMAZON_USERNAMEAMAZON_PASSWORDAMAZON_OTP_SECRET_KEY(see docs for usage)
Documentation
For more advanced usage, amazon-orders‘s official documentation is available at http://amazon-orders.readthedocs.io.
