Store Analytics API: 401 "User Unauthorized due to AMS call failure" on installs/acquisitions/funnel, ratings works
I publish a Windows desktop app (MSIX) in the Microsoft Store and read its numbers with the Microsoft Store analytics API, using an Entra ID app with client credentials (resource https://manage.devcenter.microsoft.com). The token request succeeds.
Results on 2026-10-15 for the same token and the same applicationId:
- GET /v1.0/my/analytics/ratings → 200
- GET /v1.0/my/analytics/installs → 401 {"error":"User Unauthorized due to AMS call failure."}
- GET /v1.0/my/analytics/appacquisitions → 401 (same body)
- GET /v1.0/my/analytics/funnel → 401 (same body)
- GET /v1.0/my/analytics/desktop/installbasedaily → 401 (same body)
The failure started on 2026-10-12 and does not clear with retries. The same Entra app can create and commit Store submissions without problems.
- What does "AMS call failure" mean?
- Does the Entra app need a role or permission beyond what it needs for submissions, for these analytics methods?
- The Partner Center support page (Engage Center) never finishes loading for my account. Is there another way to open a developer support ticket?
