A ChatGPT conversation compares Amazon DSP reporting on the legacy reports and Reporting API v1: fixed report types become combined dimensions, conversion date becomes traffic date, totalPurchases becomes metric.purchases, and the legacy reports retire June 30, 2027.
Illustrative client view: the same DSP question, answered by what changes between the two reporting APIs.
TL;DR
  • Amazon retires the legacy Amazon DSP reports on June 30, 2027. Reporting API v1 replaces fixed report types with dimensions and metrics you combine.
  • On v1, metric.purchases includes promoted and halo purchases, and conversions are reported on the traffic date. The promoted-only figure is metric.purchasesPromoted.
  • Of 13 Amazon DSP reporting tools, on the pages we read November 10, 2026: seven document only the legacy reports, Adverity and DataDoe show the new reporting on part of their product, and four give no source details or are unclear.
  • Kuudo's Amazon Ads MCP creates DSP reports on v1. The Reporting Skill bundles no DSP template, so a DSP report is a custom v1 report with the fields you name.

The best tool for Amazon DSP reporting reads Amazon's Reporting API v1. Amazon retires the legacy DSP (demand-side platform) reports on June 30, 2027, and v1 changes what a DSP purchase total means. Seven of the 13 tools we read on November 10, 2026 document only the legacy reports. Kuudo's Amazon Ads MCP creates DSP reports on v1.

The question arrives from agencies and brands in about these words: "What's the best tool for Amazon DSP reporting, and does it matter which Amazon reporting API the tool reads from?" It matters. A report built on the legacy DSP reports and one built on v1 can show different purchase totals, on different days, for the same campaigns. A feature list does not show that. The API a vendor documents is the first place to look.

Your team already decided what a DSP purchase is: promoted products only, or promoted plus halo, counted on the day of the ad or the day of the purchase. Every client report you have sent rests on that choice. The Amazon Ads MCP creates a v1 report with the fields you name, in the AI client your team already uses. Ask for the promoted figure beside the new base figure, and the first v1 report explains the jump.

Amazon retires the legacy Amazon DSP reports on June 30, 2027

Amazon retires the legacy Amazon DSP reports on June 30, 2027. Amazon's DSP reporting overview, read November 10, 2026, says: "Amazon DSP v2 Reporting API will be deprecated on June 30, 2027. To avoid interruptions, migrate to the new reporting API."

Amazon's pages use both labels for these reports. The DSP overview says "DSP v2". The Reporting API v1 overview compares the new API with "the V3 API" and heads its DSP column "DSP (V3 API)". This guide calls them the legacy DSP reports.

The legacy DSP reports have two marks you can find in any field list:

  • Fixed report types. You pick a report, and the report decides which dimensions you get.
  • Amazon DSP's earlier names. Order, Line item, Creative and Click-throughs.

Reporting API v1 changes what an Amazon DSP report can ask and what its numbers mean

Reporting API v1 changes two things for Amazon DSP: what a report can ask for, and what the numbers in it mean. Amazon calls the first change Multi-dimensional Reporting. Every row below comes from Amazon's v1 overview and its unified reporting documentation.

What changesLegacy DSP reportsReporting API v1
Report shapeFixed report types"Report types are no longer available or required"; dimensions from separate reports combine, as in Amazon's Geo x Technology example

NamesOrder, Line item, Creative, Click-throughsCampaign, Ad group, Ad, Clicks
Lookback in metric names14d-style suffixNo suffix; 14-day standard lookback, or the advertiser-selected click and view windows on flexible-lookback DSP campaigns

The conversion date moves. Amazon's overview says: "Previously, DSP reported conversions on the conversion date." In Amazon's example, a shopper clicks an ad on Oct 1 and purchases on Oct 3, and the purchase is now reported on Oct 1.

The purchase total widens. On Reporting API v1, metric.purchases for Amazon DSP includes promoted and halo purchases; the promoted-only figure is metric.purchasesPromoted. Amazon says the base metrics "may return higher totals than in Version 3".

History has its own limits on v1. Amazon's dates page lists daily data as retained for 15 months, with a maximum of 120 days per report, and monthly data as retained for 6 years.

Seven of 13 Amazon DSP reporting tools document only the legacy reports

Seven of 13 Amazon DSP reporting tools document only the legacy reports on the pages we read. Adverity and DataDoe show the new reporting on part of their product, and four give no source details or are unclear. Every page was read November 10, 2026.

Read the table with three limits in mind:

  • It reports what the pages say. A vendor may have moved to v1 without updating its documentation.
  • It covers the pages we read. Each one is linked. A page we did not find may say more.
  • The legacy reports are still live. A tool that documents them today is inside Amazon's timeline, which ends June 30, 2027.

Kuudo's Amazon Ads MCP creates Amazon DSP reports on Reporting API v1

Kuudo's Amazon Ads MCP creates Amazon DSP reports on Reporting API v1. We checked the deployed server's spec on November 10, 2026. It carries the v1 report operations: create, retrieve and delete a report. It also still carries the v3 report operation, which accepts Amazon DSP until Amazon retires it, so the request below names Reporting API v1.

The Amazon Ads Reporting Skill v0.4.4 bundles 17 Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands and Sponsored Display template families. It bundles no DSP template. A DSP report is a custom v1 report:

  1. You name the dimensions and metrics.
  2. The Skill checks the fields.
  3. The Skill runs Amazon's asynchronous sequence: create the report, retrieve its status, download the files.

The report lands in ChatGPT, Claude or another AI client your team already works in. No authenticated DSP report was run for this guide, so the request below is illustrative. Its field names come from Amazon's v1 documentation.

Use the amazon-ads-reporting Skill and my connected Amazon Ads MCP.

Create a custom Reporting API v1 report for my Amazon DSP campaigns,
October 1 through October 31, 2026, inclusive. Resolve the advertiser
account first. If the scope is ambiguous, ask me.

Dimensions: date, campaign, adGroup.
Metrics: metric.impressions, metric.clicks, metric.totalCost,
metric.purchases, metric.purchasesPromoted, metric.purchasesHalo.

Check every field against the current v1 catalog before you submit.
State the resolved account, dates and fields, then create the report,
retrieve its status with bounded polling and download every part.
Return the report ID, the files and any field warnings. Show
purchasesPromoted beside purchases in the summary. Do not change
campaign settings.

What happens next: ask which API, then run one DSP report on v1

Ask the vendor behind your current DSP reports four things:

  1. Which Amazon reporting API does our DSP data come from?
  2. Are our purchases promoted only, or promoted plus halo?
  3. Are our conversions on the traffic date or the conversion date?
  4. On what date do you move to Reporting API v1?

Then pick one report your team already sends. Run it on v1 for the same dates and compare promoted with promoted. The deprecation guide lists what else to hold constant in that comparison.

A DSP number is a definition and a date. Know both before June 30, 2027, and the migration becomes a note in a client report.

Next, see how the Reporting Skill builds, runs and retrieves v1 reports in the Reporting API v1 automation guide.

FAQ

Which Amazon DSP reporting tools use Reporting API v1?

On the pages we read November 10, 2026, two of 13 tools show the new reporting on part of their product: Adverity documents an early-access beta connector, Amazon Advertising Unified, and DataDoe maps one of its eleven DSP tables to v1 field names. Seven document only the legacy reports. Kuudo's Amazon Ads MCP creates DSP reports on v1.

When does Amazon retire the legacy DSP reports?

June 30, 2027. Amazon's DSP reporting overview says the Amazon DSP v2 Reporting API will be deprecated on that date and tells integrations to migrate to the new reporting API.

Why are my DSP purchases higher in the new reports?

On Reporting API v1, `metric.purchases` includes promoted and halo purchases, where the legacy `purchases` field counted promoted products only. Compare the old figure with `metric.purchasesPromoted`. Conversions also move to the traffic date, so they land earlier in a flight.

Does the Kuudo Reporting Skill include DSP templates?

No. The Amazon Ads Reporting Skill v0.4.4 bundles 17 Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands and Sponsored Display template families and no DSP template. A DSP report is a custom v1 report: you name the dimensions and metrics, and the Skill checks the fields and runs the create, retrieve and download sequence.
