AWS Price List Service

Description

The Amazon Web Services Price List API is a centralized and convenient way to programmatically query Amazon Web Services for services, products, and pricing information. The Amazon Web Services Price List uses standardized product attributes such as Location, ⁠Storage Class⁠, and ⁠Operating System⁠, and provides prices at the SKU level. You can use the Amazon Web Services Price List to do the following:

  • Build cost control and scenario planning tools

  • Reconcile billing data

  • Forecast future spend for budgeting purposes

  • Provide cost benefit analysis that compare your internal workloads with Amazon Web Services

Use GetServices without a service code to retrieve the service codes for all Amazon Web Services, then GetServices with a service code to retrieve the attribute names for that service. After you have the service code and attribute names, you can use get_attribute_values to see what values are available for an attribute. With the service code and an attribute name and value, you can use get_products to find specific products that you're interested in, such as an AmazonEC2 instance, with a ⁠Provisioned IOPS⁠ volumeType.

For more information, see Using the Amazon Web Services Price List API in the Billing User Guide.
