amazon-orders is an unofficial library that provides a Python API (and CLI) for Amazon order history, line items, and transactions. Signing in to Amazon is handled by amazon-auth, the authentication package amazon-orders is built on.

Note: 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, older versions of this

package may break at any time, so it's recommended that you use the latest version.

Installation

amazon-orders is available on PyPI and can be installed and/or upgraded 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.

If pinning, be sure to use a wildcard for the minor version (e.g. ==5.4.*, not ==5.4.0) to ensure you always get the latest stable release.

Basic Usage

You'll use AmazonSession to authenticate your Amazon account, then AmazonOrders, AmazonTransactions, AmazonGiftCards, and AmazonPrime to interact with account data. get_orders and get_order are good places to start.

from amazonorders.constants import Constants
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)
Get orders from a specific year
orders = amazon_orders.get_orders(year=2023)
Or use time filters for recent orders
orders = amazon_orders.get_orders(time_filter=Constants.LAST_30_DAYS_TIME_FILTER)
orders = amazon_orders.get_orders(time_filter=Constants.LAST_3_MONTHS_TIME_FILTER)
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 orders 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 most of the main Python interface from the command line:

amazon-orders login
amazon-orders orders --year 2023
amazon-orders orders --last-30-days
amazon-orders orders --last-3-months
amazon-orders search-orders "coffee"

Output Formats

Commands that return Orders, Transactions, and other entities accept --output, which renders them as text (the default), json, yaml, or csv. Progress messages are written to stderr, so redirecting stdout captures only the data.

amazon-orders orders --year 2023 --output json > orders.json
amazon-orders orders --last-30-days --output csv > orders.csv

To serialize from Python instead, every entity has to_dict(), which converts it and its nested entities to a dict of primitives.

import json
from amazonorders.orders import AmazonOrders
amazon_orders = AmazonOrders(amazon_session)
orders = amazon_orders.get_orders(year=2023)
[{"order_number": "112-9685975-5907428", "grand_total": 35.98, ...}]
print(json.dumps([order.to_dict() for order in orders], indent=2))

See OutputFormatter for each format's contract, and to override how entities are rendered.

Secure Sign-In

The most secure way to use amazon-orders is to sign in on Amazon's own page, in a browser window, so amazon-orders never needs to store your credentials:

amazon-orders login --browser

The session is persisted, so neither the CLI nor the Python API needs credentials:

from amazonorders.session import AmazonSession
amazon_session = AmazonSession()
amazon_session.login()

This requires a display and the browser extra (pip install amazon-orders[browser], see Browser Automation).

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_USERNAME
• AMAZON_PASSWORD
• AMAZON_OTP_SECRET_KEY (see otp_secret_key)

A configured username also applies to amazon-orders login --browser: it's filled in and submitted for you, so the browser opens on Amazon's password or passkey step. The browser never fills in your password.

Languages and Regions

amazon-orders reads Amazon's pages in English. The .com site is validated nightly.

• Any other site that offers English (e.g. amazon.co.uk, or amazon.de): set the

• Any site, in another language: install a language package and set language_package. A language package

AI Assistants

An AI assistant has two ways to use amazon-orders. One that runs commands uses the CLI or the library directly, just as shown above. Any MCP client gets the same as tools through amazon-orders-mcp, a server built on amazon-orders. See its documentation for setup.

The server signs you in with a browser. Without a display, sign in with the CLI first, or use the library with Automating Authentication.

Documentation

For more advanced usage, amazon-orders's official documentation is available at Read the Docs, including handling login challenges (AWS WAF and JavaScript checks, with optional extras) and troubleshooting.
