I am using Amazon advertising api version V2. According to the [https://advertising.amazon.com/API/docs/v2/reference/profiles], the get profile api gives account name. But I am not getting name in account details. Following is the response I am getting:

[
    {
        "profileId": "**********",
        "countryCode": "US",
        "currencyCode": "USD",
        "dailyBudget": 2.0,
        "timezone": "America/Los_Angeles",
        "accountInfo": {
            "marketplaceStringId": "*********",
            "id": "***********",
            "type": "seller"
        }
    }
]

How can I get account name from api ?

You can get user_id, name and email by sending this request:

GET https://api.amazon.com/user/profile

Headers should include your Amazon-Advertising-API-ClientId. And the client should granted you access to the scope 'profile' (additionally to the default 'cpc_advertising:campaign_management').

EDIT:
Profile names are only available for profiles of type 'vendor' or 'agency' via /profiles endpoint.
See: https://advertising.amazon.com/API/docs/en-us/reference/2/profiles#/Profiles/listProfiles
this has changed: names are also shown for 'seller' profiles now

  • this api request is not a request to the advertising api - that's why it is not documented in the advertising api documentation i guess – tector Dec 10 '19 at 14:32
  • This actually just returns the authorized user's account name. – moltar Oct 10 '20 at 10:06
  • @molta yes, this returns user_id, name and email of the user's account name. Profile names are only available for profiles of type 'vendor' or 'agency' via `/profiles` endpoint – tector Oct 12 '20 at 08:21
  • Yes, my point was, though, is that if you are auth'ing as an agency, or just someone who has access to many advertising accounts, the name will be the name of the user who had authed, and not the name of the profile. – moltar Oct 13 '20 at 04:44
  • Yeah, i think the naming is not good at all. Even the API domain is different: `https://api.amazon.com/user/profile` -> profile name of the amazon user `https://advertising-api.amazon.com/v2/profiles` -> profiles of given advertising account – tector Oct 13 '20 at 16:16

You will not get profile name from amazon api with list profiles or get profiles. It only gives brand name for Sponsored Brands.
