Advertising API
Am just getting around to replacing the MWS Advertising Performance reports… I don’t see a way to do this fully via an API. The authorization regime requires a redirect to login with amazon. Has anyone successfully integrated with the advertising API without needing to go through the OATH path?

You have to go the oauth path. It’s annoying, but it’s doable. You also need to have your client_id approved by Amazon in order to use the API. http://advertising.amazon.com/API/docs/guides/authorization.
So 1) create an app in Login with Amazon
2) Get that client approved by Amazon (takes about 2-3 weeks)
3) Then you can implement the oauth flow to get a refresh token
4) use that refresh token to make a call to /profiles to get your accounts profile id
5) use the refresh token and profile ID to make calls to the API
