Make your first API call to access commercial marketplace analytics data

For a list of the APIs for accessing commercial marketplace analytics data, see APIs for accessing commercial marketplace analytics data. Before you make your first API call, make sure that you met the prerequisites to programmatically access commercial marketplace analytics data.

Token generation

Before calling any of the methods, you must first obtain a Microsoft Entra access token. You need to pass the Microsoft Entra access token to the Authorization header of each method in the API. After obtaining an access token, you have 60 minutes to use it before it expires. After the token expires, you can refresh the token and continue to use it for further calls to the API.

Warning

Resource='https://graph.microsoft.com' will be deprecated after 30 August 2024. Please plan the migration to Resource='https://api.partnercenter.microsoft.com' accordingly.

Refer to a sample request below for generating a token. The three values that are required to generate the token are clientId, clientSecret, and tenantId. The resource parameter should be set to https://api.partnercenter.microsoft.com.

Request example:

curl --location --request POST 'https://login.microsoftonline.com/{TenantId}/oauth2/token' \
--header 'return-client-request-id: true' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--data-urlencode 'resource=https://api.partnercenter.microsoft.com' \
--data-urlencode 'client_id={client_id}' \
--data-urlencode 'client_secret={client_secret}' \
--data-urlencode 'grant_type=client_credentials'

Response example:

{
    "token_type": "Bearer",
    "expires_in": "3599",
    "ext_expires_in": "3599",
    "expires_on": "1612794445",
    "not_before": "1612790545",
    "resource": "https://api.partnercenter.microsoft.com",
    "access_token": {Token}
}

For more information about how to obtain a Microsoft Entra token for your application, see Service to service calls using client credentials (shared secret or certificate).

Programmatic API call

After you obtain the Microsoft Entra Token as described in the previous section, follow these steps to create your first programmatic access report.

Data can be downloaded from the following datasets (datasetName):

Report Name Dataset Name in API
Order ISVOrder
Usage ISVUsage
Customer ISVCustomer
Marketplace Insights ISVMarketplaceInsights
Revenue ISVRevenue
Customer Retention ISVOfferRetention
Quality of Service ISVQualityOfService
License ISVLicense
VM Image Version ISVVMImageVersion

The following sections show examples of how to programmatically access OrderId from the ISVOrder dataset.

Step 1: Make a REST call using the Get Datasets API

The API response provides the dataset name from where you can download the report. For the specific dataset, the API response also provides the list of selectable columns that can be used for your custom report template.

Request example:

curl 
--location 
--request GET 'https://api.partnercenter.microsoft.com/insights/v1.1/cmp/ScheduledDataset ' \ 
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <AzureADToken>'

Response example:

{
    "value": [
        {
            "datasetName": "ISVOrder",
            "selectableColumns": [
                "MarketplaceSubscriptionId",
                "MonthStartDate",
                "OfferType",
                "AzureLicenseType",
                "MarketplaceLicenseType",
                "SKU",
                "CustomerCountry",
                "IsPreviewSKU",
                "AssetId",
                "Quantity",
                "CloudInstanceName",

                "CustomerCompanyName",
                "OrderPurchaseDate",
                "OfferName",
                "IsPrivateOffer",
                "TermStartDate",
                "TermEndDate",
                "PurchaseRecordId",
                "PurchaseRecordLineItemId",
                "BilledRevenue",
                "Currency",
                "HasTrial",
                "IsTrial",
                "TrialEndDate",
                "OrderAction",
                "QuantityChanged",
                "EventTimestamp",
                "CustomerId",
                "BillingAccountId",
                "PlanId",
                "BillingTerm",
                "BillingPlan",
                "ReferenceId",
                "AutoRenew",
                "OrderVersion",
                "ListPriceUSD",
                "DiscountPriceUSD",
                "IsPrivatePlan",
                "OfferId",
                "PrivateOfferId",
                "PrivateOfferName",
                "BillingId",
                "Version",
                "CustomerAdjustmentUSD",
                "MultiParty",
                "PartnerInfo"
            ],
            "availableMetrics": [],
            "availableDateRanges": [
                "LAST_MONTH",
                "LAST_3_MONTHS",
                "LAST_6_MONTHS",
                "LAST_1_YEAR",
                "LIFETIME"
            ],
            "minimumRecurrenceInterval": 1
        },
    ],
    "totalCount": 1,
    "message": "Dataset fetched successfully",
    "statusCode": 200
}

Step 2: Create the custom query

In this step, we'll use the Order ID from the Orders Report to create a custom query for the report we want. The default timespan if not specified in the query is six months.

Request example:

curl 
--location 
--request POST ' https://api.partnercenter.microsoft.com/insights/v1.1/cmp/ScheduledQueries' \ 
--header ' Authorization: Bearer <AzureAD_Token>' \ 
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ 
--data-raw 
            '{ 
                "Query": "SELECT OrderId from ISVOrder", 
                "Name": "ISVOrderQuery1", 
                "Description": "Get a list of all Order IDs" 
             }'

Response example:

{
    "value": [
        {
            "queryId": "78be43f2-e35f-491a-8cd5-78fe14194f9c",
            "name": "ISVOrderQuery1",
            "description": "Get a list of all Order IDs",
            "query": "SELECT OrderId from ISVOrder",
            "type": "userDefined",
            "user": "142344300",
            "createdTime": "2024-01-06T05:38:34",
            "modifiedTime": null
        }
    ],
    "totalCount": 1,
    "message": "Query created successfully",
    "statusCode": 200
}

On successful execution of the query, a queryId is generated that needs to be used to generate the report.

Step 3: Execute test query API

In this step, we'll use the test query API to get the top 100 rows for the query that was created.

Request example:

curl 
--location 
--request GET 'https://api.partnercenter.microsoft.com/insights/v1.1/cmp/ScheduledQueries/testQueryResult?exportQuery=SELECT%20OrderId%20from%20ISVOrder' \ 
--header ' Authorization: Bearer <AzureADToken>'

Response example:

{
    "value": [
        {
            "OrderId": "086365c6-9c38-4fba-904a-6228f6cb2ba8"
        },
        {
            "OrderId": "086365c6-9c38-4fba-904a-6228f6cb2bb8"
        },
        {
            "OrderId": "086365c6-9c38-4fba-904a-6228f6cb2bc8"
        },
        {
            "OrderId": "086365c6-9c38-4fba-904a-6228f6cb2bd8"
        },
        {
            "OrderId": "086365c6-9c38-4fba-904a-6228f6cb2be8"
        },
               .
               .
               .

        {
            "OrderId": "086365c6-9c38-4fba-904a-6228f6cb2bf0"
        },
        {
            "OrderId": "086365c6-9c38-4fba-904a-6228f6cb2bf1"
        },
        {
            "OrderId": "086365c6-9c38-4fba-904a-6228f6cb2bf2"
        },
        {
            "OrderId": "086365c6-9c38-4fba-904a-6228f6cb2bf3"
        },
        {
            "OrderId": "086365c6-9c38-4fba-904a-6228f6cb2bf4"
        }
    ],
    "totalCount": 100,
    "message": null,
    "statusCode": 200
}

Step 4: Create the report

In this step, we'll use the previously generated QueryId to create the report.

Request example:

curl 
--location 
--request POST 'https://api.partnercenter.microsoft.com/insights/v1.1/cmp/ScheduledReport' \ 
--header ' Authorization: Bearer <AzureADToken>' \ 
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ 
--data-raw 
                 '{
                   "ReportName": "ISVReport1",
                   "Description": "Report for getting list of Order Ids",
                   "QueryId": "78be43f2-e35f-491a-8cd5-78fe14194f9c",
                   "StartTime": "2024-01-06T19:00:00Z",
                   "RecurrenceInterval": 48,
                   "RecurrenceCount": 20,
                    "Format": "csv"
                  }'

Response example:

{
    "value": [
        {
            "reportId": "72fa95ab-35f5-4d44-a1ee-503abbc88003",
            "reportName": "ISVReport1",
            "description": "Report for getting list of Order Ids",
            "queryId": "78be43f2-e35f-491a-8cd5-78fe14194f9c",
            "query": "SELECT OrderId from ISVOrder",
            "user": "142344300",
            "createdTime": "2024-01-06T05:46:00Z",
            "modifiedTime": null,
            "startTime": "2024-01-06T19:00:00Z",
            "reportStatus": "Active",
            "recurrenceInterval": 48,
            "recurrenceCount": 20,
            "callbackUrl": null,
            "format": "csv"
        }
    ],
    "totalCount": 1,
    "message": "Report created successfully",
    "statusCode": 200
}

On successful execution, a reportId is generated that needs to be used to schedule a download of the report.

Step 5: Execute Report Executions API

To get the secure location (URL) of the report, we'll now execute the Report Executions API.

Request example:

Curl
--location
--request GET 'https://api.partnercenter.microsoft.com/insights/v1.1/cmp/ScheduledReport/execution/72fa95ab-35f5-4d44-a1ee-503abbc88003' \
--header ' Authorization: Bearer <AzureADToken>' \

Response example:

{
    "value": [
        {
            "executionId": "1f18b53b-df30-4d98-85ee-e6c7e687aeed",
            "reportId": "72fa95ab-35f5-4d44-a1ee-503abbc88003",
            "recurrenceInterval": 48,
            "recurrenceCount": 20,
            "callbackUrl": null,
            "format": "csv",
            "executionStatus": "Pending",
            "reportAccessSecureLink": null,
            "reportExpiryTime": null,
            "reportGeneratedTime": null
        }
    ],
    "totalCount": 1,
    "message": null,
    "statusCode": 200
}

You can try out the APIs through the Swagger API URL.
