Amazon order history report
Sunday, August 16th, 2020 03:19 amSome time back, I started saving off all the details when ordering things online, such as the product page URL, product description, unit price, and so on. The order emails that are sent don't always include all the details. Amazon's order emails don't even list what's been ordered.
Today I wanted to check the price of something I'd bought on Amazon in 2015, and I was surprised that I didn't have my usual detailed info on that order. That was obviously before I started doing the above.
So I went into my Amazon account. Their Orders page is nice in that it shows images of everything you've bought. I thought I'd go through the pages for each year, and save off the text to a file in case I need it for future reference again.
About halfway through doing that, I noticed that for orders with more than 5 items, you have to navigate to another page to get all the item details. Then I started wondering if there was a way to export ALL my Amazon order history at once.
There is!

Well, mostly anyway. The Orders page shows orders of mine going back to 2002. The Report page only lets me select date ranges from 2006 onward. And it only seems to work from 2007 onward. (Selecting from 2006, the report generation always fails.)
