What Are Amazon Purchases?

Amazon purchases represent a type of data that encompasses the wide array of items that customers can buy on the Amazon platform. This includes, but is not limited to, gift cards, electronics, protection plans, cashews, ACV gummies, books, chargers, underwear, and slipper socks. Amazon purchases can be managed through a user-friendly interface known as 'Your Orders', where customers have the ability to view their order history, track the delivery of their items, and make modifications or cancellations to their orders if necessary.

Additionally, Amazon purchases are versatile in their payment options and shipping availability. Certain purchases are eligible for free shipping, offering an added convenience and saving for customers. Moreover, for items like groceries and household essentials, Amazon provides the option for payment using SNAP EBT, making it more accessible for a broader range of customers. Amazon purchases reflect a comprehensive service that caters to the diverse needs of consumers, providing a seamless shopping experience from browsing to delivery.

Exporting Amazon Purchases to a CSV File

Exporting Directly Through Amazon

Navigate to the 'Order History Report' section and select the type of report you require, which can be from the following options: Items, Orders and Shipments, Refunds, or Returns. Then, specify the Start and End Dates for the data you're interested in, which can range back to January 1st, 2006. Optionally, you can give your report a name for easier identification. Once you have configured your report, click 'Request Report'. After the report is generated, you will receive an email to the address associated with your Amazon account. Open the email and click on the 'Order History Report' link to download your CSV file with your Amazon order history information.

Exporting Using Amazon Textract and Python

If you need to export order history information from an image of a document, you can use Amazon Textract service with Python. The tutorial for this includes both synchronous and asynchronous methods to analyze the document and export tables into a CSV file. The first code example demonstrates how to start a document analysis job. Save this script as 'start_doc_analysis_for_table_extraction.py'. It involves starting an SNS topic and an SQS queue, subscribing the SQS queue to the SNS topic, and writing an SQS policy to allow the SNS topic to write to the SQS queue. The second code example must be saved as 'get_doc_analysis_for_table_extraction.py'. This script retrieves the results from the document analysis job, prints the detected document text, and prints the output CSV file name along with block information.
