Amazon Data Kiosk Vendor Analytics: Traffic Data Correction Issued

Amazon has issued a correction regarding the availability of traffic data within its Data Kiosk Vendor Analytics dataset. Previously, it was announced that new traffic data, including lostFeaturedOffer, would be accessible through both manufacturingView and sourcingView queries. However, Amazon has clarified that this specific traffic data is exclusively available in the manufacturingView query.

Key Takeaways

• Traffic data, including lostFeaturedOffer, is only available in the manufacturingView query of the Vendor Analytics dataset.
• The sourcingView query does not contain this traffic data.
• This correction applies to all marketplaces.
• Developers using the Data Kiosk API to access the Vendor Analytics dataset are affected.
• No immediate action is required from developers.

Clarification on Data Availability

On December 3, 2025, Amazon initially communicated an update to the Vendor Analytics dataset, stating that the lostFeaturedOffer metric had been added to the traffic data. The announcement indicated this data would be accessible via both the manufacturingView and sourcingView queries. This information has since been corrected.

The updated clarification confirms that the traffic data, which encompasses the lostFeaturedOffer metric, is exclusively present within the manufacturingView query. The sourcingView query does not include this particular data set.

Affected Marketplaces and Users

This correction impacts all marketplaces where the Data Kiosk Vendor Analytics dataset is utilized. Developers who have integrated applications with the Data Kiosk API to retrieve data from the Vendor Analytics dataset are the primary users affected by this clarification.

Required Actions

Amazon has stated that no immediate action is required from developers. The correction is a clarification of existing data availability, not a change in functionality that necessitates immediate code updates. Developers are advised to ensure their data retrieval processes are aligned with the corrected information, accessing traffic data solely through the manufacturingView query.
