Frequently Asked Questions
Why we need API data access?
Analytic Index uses API data from client accounts to provide insights into search, advertising, sales, traffic, and conversion performance. The data is combined with Analytic Index proprietary metrics to also provide extrapolated estimates of advertising spend and category sales share. Any data coming from these API connections is never shared with any other party other than the client providing access to the API. You can revoke access to the data at any time via the Analytic Index app or via the Amazon vendor/seller/ads account.
What data is being imported?
Analytic Index imports sales, traffic, inventory, promotions, and advertising reports data. No changes are made to any Amazon accounts in this process. Any data coming from these API connections is never shared with any other party other than the client providing access to the API. You can revoke access to the data at any time via the Analytic Index app or via the Amazon vendor/seller/ads account.
