Steps
Create a workflow definition (the SQL-like query plus output configuration) in an AMC reporting instance via the Workflows resource.
Trigger an ad-hoc run using the WorkflowExecutions resource for that instance, optionally overriding parameters for the one-off execution instead of waiting for a scheduled run.
Poll the workflow execution's status field until it reports success, noting the time window of data used for the run.
On success, retrieve the output from the S3 URI returned in the execution record.
For recurring needs, convert the same workflow to Scheduled Reporting instead of re-triggering ad-hoc executions manually.
Known gotchas
AMC requires its own Advanced Tools Center / AMC instance access on top of standard Amazon Ads API credentials — a normal Sponsored Ads token doesn't automatically have AMC instance access.
Ad-hoc WorkflowExecutions runs still incur the same query processing time as scheduled runs; there's no 'fast path' for one-off queries.
Output lands in an advertiser-owned S3 bucket, not an AMC-hosted endpoint — AWS account and bucket permissions must be configured before the first execution or the run succeeds but the data is unreachable.
