There are more AWS SDK examples available in the AWS Doc SDK Examples GitHub repo.

AWS Price List examples using AWS CLI

The following code examples show you how to perform actions and implement common scenarios by using the AWS Command Line Interface with AWS Price List.

Actions are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. While actions show you how to call individual service functions, you can see actions in context in their related scenarios.

Each example includes a link to the complete source code, where you can find instructions on how to set up and run the code in context.

The following code example shows how to use describe-services.

AWS CLI

To retrieve service metadata

The following describe-services example retrieves the metadata for the Amazon EC2 service code.

aws pricing describe-services \
    --service-code AmazonEC2 \
    --format-version aws_v1 \
    --max-items 1
