PricingClient

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 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 GetAttributeValues to see what values are available for an attribute. With the service code and an attribute name and value, you can use GetProducts 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.

PricingClient Operations

Command
Summary
DescribeServicesCommand

Returns the metadata for one service or a list of the metadata for all services. Use this without a service code to get the service codes for all services. Use it with a service code, such as AmazonEC2, to get information specific to that service, such as the attribute names available for that service. For example, some of the attribute names available for EC2 are volumeType, maxIopsVolume, operation, locationType, and instanceCapacity10xlarge.

GetAttributeValuesCommand

Returns a list of attribute values. Attributes are similar to the details in a Price List API offer file. For a list of available attributes, see Offer File Definitions  in the Billing and Cost Management User Guide .

GetPriceListFileUrlCommand

This feature is in preview release and is subject to change. Your use of Amazon Web Services Price List API is subject to the Beta Service Participation terms of the Amazon Web Services Service Terms  (Section 1.10).

This returns the URL that you can retrieve your Price List file from. This URL is based on the PriceListArn and FileFormat that you retrieve from the ListPriceLists  response.

GetProductsCommand

Returns a list of all products that match the filter criteria.

ListPriceListsCommand

This feature is in preview release and is subject to change. Your use of Amazon Web Services Price List API is subject to the Beta Service Participation terms of the Amazon Web Services Service Terms  (Section 1.10).

This returns a list of Price List references that the requester if authorized to view, given a ServiceCode, CurrencyCode, and an EffectiveDate. Use without a RegionCode filter to list Price List references from all available Amazon Web Services Regions. Use with a RegionCode filter to get the Price List reference that's specific to a specific Amazon Web Services Region. You can use the PriceListArn from the response to get your preferred Price List files through the GetPriceListFileUrl  API.

PricingClient Configuration

Parameter
Type
Description
defaultsMode
Optional
DefaultsMode | Provider<DefaultsMode>
The @smithy/smithy-client#DefaultsMode that will be used to determine how certain default configuration options are resolved in the SDK.
disableHostPrefix
Optional
boolean
Disable dynamically changing the endpoint of the client based on the hostPrefix trait of an operation.
extensions
Optional
RuntimeExtension[]
Optional extensions
logger
Optional
Logger
Optional logger for logging debug/info/warn/error.
maxAttempts
Optional
number | Provider<number>
Value for how many times a request will be made at most in case of retry.
profile
Optional
string
Setting a client profile is similar to setting a value for the AWS_PROFILE environment variable. Setting a profile on a client in code only affects the single client instance, unlike AWS_PROFILE.When set, and only for environments where an AWS configuration file exists, fields configurable by this file will be retrieved from the specified profile within that file. Conflicting code configuration and environment variables will still have higher priority.For client credential resolution that involves checking the AWS configuration file, the client's profile (this value) will be used unless a different profile is set in the credential provider options.
region
Optional
string | Provider<string>
The AWS region to which this client will send requests
requestHandler
Optional
__HttpHandlerUserInput
The HTTP handler to use or its constructor options. Fetch in browser and Https in Nodejs.
retryMode
Optional

Specifies which retry algorithm to use.
useDualstackEndpoint
