The AWS Price List Bulk API provides prices for all AWS products for informational purposes, including On-Demand and Reserved Instances pricing.
To find the prices and terms for a specific product, you can use the offer files. For example, you can find a list of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance prices.
Note
The AWS Price List Bulk API is not a comprehensive source for limited period offers,
such as AWS Free Tier pricing. For information about Free Tier prices, see AWS Free Tier
