So, you want to launch a mega ad campaign on Amazon and make your finance team sweat? Your account managers might need bigger coffee mugs for this. You want to move fast, steer budgets from Mumbai to Munich, and ditch those old clunky spreadsheets that look like they belong in 2005. Sound familiar?
Good news: Amazon Ads API is finally here with some powers you’ve probably been wishing for. You can now onboard advertiser accounts the smart, code-first way, no more boring click-after-click in the UI. This thing is global, simple, and actually saves real time—sometimes all in one API call. Imagine swapping out your rickety tricycle for a shiny, super-fast Tesla.
If you’re done juggling old Ads Consoles or random third-party tools, this is your chance to break free. Stuff that took days—logging in all over the world, handling dozens of products, and fixing billing headaches—now takes minutes with automation on your side.
Spoiler: If you run Amazon ads, build martech tools, or manage global brands, this update is like tossing your spreadsheets straight into the trash. It’s the secret passage past every annoying onboarding block you ever met.
Let’s be real: Getting advertisers set up in old Amazon Ads was like hiking uphill in flip-flops, all while dragging heavy suitcases. Every new advertiser? That meant registering them by hand in the Amazon Ads Console—country by country, product by product. Trying to onboard 100 brands? Hope you’re cool with mind-numbing repeats and typing through jetlag.
Agencies with big global lists had it worst. For every new region and product, you got another mess of logins and dead-ends. Even if you could code, most key stuff—like new account creation, billing changes, or fixing campaign access—couldn’t be automated easily. So your devs bounced between bad dashboards and groan-worthy spreadsheet hacks to keep things sort of under control. In a world where Spotify queues 1,000 songs at a tap, this was Stone Age pain.
“Manual onboarding is evil. The future is automation—secure, scalable, and seamless.” — Ad-tech founder, Global Martech Podcast
Why should you care? Maybe you run an agency with world-spanning clients. Maybe you build SaaS tools or just hate copy-paste hell. This changes all of that. No more crummy UI chores. You can switch to code-level speed and win back hours every week. Your competitors will wish they had this edge.
Here’s the short of it: The Amazon Ads API now lets you register, update, manage, and even delete advertiser accounts anywhere—with one set of API calls. Both DSP and Sponsored Ads are in. And it works with bulk ops. Forget flipping tabs for every country or remembering insane password lists.

Picture a big agency onboarding 200 clients in 15 countries. It used to look like this:
With the API? You upload a list, fire off your POST requests, and those 200 accounts all pop up with the right billing, campaign setups, and permissions—done by lunch. No more admin headaches. Teams focus on real marketing, not wrangling data.
Let’s break it down:

Developers now get superpowers:
Heads up: For big changes, you might want to tell your Amazon rep. But for most stuff, you’re free to go. It’s totally self-serve for API users.

Boom. You just skipped a week’s work in 10 minutes, and every team is happier for it.
Who gets to use this API?
Pretty much anyone with Amazon DSP access or an API integration—agencies, brands, ad-tech partners, SaaS folks. If you only use the Console, you’re staying with UI for now, but the API boost is huge for everyone else.
Does it work for DSP and Sponsored Ads?
Yep! It covers everything: DSP, Sponsored Products, Brands, Display—one interface for all of it.
How many advertiser accounts can I register?
It depends on your API quota and company agreements, but big shops can do hundreds or thousands every day.
Do I need to tell my Amazon rep?
If you’re making massive changes or turning on advanced stuff, probably. For most normal accounts, just go. Self-serve rules.
Can I update or delete accounts with the API?
Absolutely. You get full create, read, update, and delete. Onboard and offboard how you want.
Where’s the tech documentation?
All of it’s here: Amazon Ads API Docs.
You’re done. No more back-and-forth in the Console. Accounts show up right in your dashboard.
The future is here. With Amazon Ads API’s Advertiser Account tools, you can turn hours of grunt work into fast wins. Smart agencies now bring clients in globally, build better tools, and outpace the teams still stuck on clunky spreadsheets.
Think about it: Still doing manual onboarding? That’s money down the drain. This is the time to automate and really control your data, wherever Amazon works.
