AWS Cost Explorer Service

2019/11/06 - AWS Cost Explorer Service - 4 new 7 updated api methods

Changes  This is the first release of Savings Plans, a new flexible pricing model that offers low prices on Amazon EC2 and AWS Fargate usage.

GetSavingsPlansCoverage (new) Link ¶

Retrieves the Savings Plans covered for your account. This enables you to see how much of your cost is covered by a Savings Plan. An organization’s master account can see the coverage of the associated member accounts. For any time period, you can filter data for Savings Plans usage with the following dimensions:

  • LINKED_ACCOUNT

  • REGION

  • SERVICE

  • INSTANCE_FAMILY

To determine valid values for a dimension, use the GetDimensionValues operation.

type TimePeriod

dict

param TimePeriod

[REQUIRED]

The time period that you want the usage and costs for. The Start date must be within 13 months. The End date must be after the Start date, and before the current date. Future dates can't be used as an End date.

  • Start (string) -- [REQUIRED]

    The beginning of the time period that you want the usage and costs for. The start date is inclusive. For example, if start is 2017-01-01 , AWS retrieves cost and usage data starting at 2017-01-01 up to the end date.

  • End (string) -- [REQUIRED]

    The end of the time period that you want the usage and costs for. The end date is exclusive. For example, if end is 2017-05-01 , AWS retrieves cost and usage data from the start date up to, but not including, 2017-05-01 .

type GroupBy

list

param GroupBy

You can group the data using the attributes INSTANCE_FAMILY , REGION , or SERVICE .

  • (dict) --

    Represents a group when you specify a group by criteria or in the response to a query with a specific grouping.

    • Type (string) --

      The string that represents the type of group.

    • Key (string) --

      The string that represents a key for a specified group.

type Granularity

string

param Granularity

The granularity of the Amazon Web Services cost data for your Savings Plans. Granularity can't be set if GroupBy is set.

type Filter

dict

param Filter

Filters Savings Plans coverage data by dimensions. You can filter data for Savings Plans usage with the following dimensions:

  • LINKED_ACCOUNT

  • REGION

  • SERVICE

  • INSTANCE_FAMILY

GetSavingsPlansCoverage uses the same Expression object as the other operations, but only AND is supported among each dimension. If there are multiple values for a dimension, they are OR'd together.

  • Or (list) --

    Return results that match either Dimension object.

    • (dict) --

      Use Expression to filter by cost or by usage. There are two patterns:

      • Simple dimension values - You can set the dimension name and values for the filters that you plan to use. For example, you can filter for REGION==us-east-1 OR REGION==us-west-1 . The Expression for that looks like this: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } } The list of dimension values are OR'd together to retrieve cost or usage data. You can create Expression and DimensionValues objects using either with* methods or set* methods in multiple lines.

      • Compound dimension values with logical operations - You can use multiple Expression types and the logical operators AND/OR/NOT to create a list of one or more Expression objects. This allows you to filter on more advanced options. For example, you can filter on ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) . The Expression for that looks like this: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

      Note

      Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error.

      { "And": [ ... ], "DimensionValues": { "Dimension": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

      Note

      For GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT is not supported. OR is not supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

  • And (list) --

    Return results that match both Dimension objects.

    • (dict) --

      Use Expression to filter by cost or by usage. There are two patterns:

      • Simple dimension values - You can set the dimension name and values for the filters that you plan to use. For example, you can filter for REGION==us-east-1 OR REGION==us-west-1 . The Expression for that looks like this: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } } The list of dimension values are OR'd together to retrieve cost or usage data. You can create Expression and DimensionValues objects using either with* methods or set* methods in multiple lines.

      • Compound dimension values with logical operations - You can use multiple Expression types and the logical operators AND/OR/NOT to create a list of one or more Expression objects. This allows you to filter on more advanced options. For example, you can filter on ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) . The Expression for that looks like this: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

      Note

      Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error.

      { "And": [ ... ], "DimensionValues": { "Dimension": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

      Note

      For GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT is not supported. OR is not supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

  • Not (dict) --

    Return results that don't match a Dimension object.

  • Dimensions (dict) --

    The specific Dimension to use for Expression .

    • Key (string) --

      The names of the metadata types that you can use to filter and group your results. For example, AZ returns a list of Availability Zones.

    • Values (list) --

      The metadata values that you can use to filter and group your results. You can use GetDimensionValues to find specific values.

      Valid values for the SERVICE dimension are Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud - Compute , Amazon Elasticsearch Service , Amazon ElastiCache , Amazon Redshift , and Amazon Relational Database Service .

      • (string) --

  • Tags (dict) --

type TimePeriod

dict

param TimePeriod

[REQUIRED]

The time period that you want the usage and costs for. The Start date must be within 13 months. The End date must be after the Start date, and before the current date. Future dates can't be used as an End date.

  • Start (string) -- [REQUIRED]

    The beginning of the time period that you want the usage and costs for. The start date is inclusive. For example, if start is 2017-01-01 , AWS retrieves cost and usage data starting at 2017-01-01 up to the end date.

  • End (string) -- [REQUIRED]

    The end of the time period that you want the usage and costs for. The end date is exclusive. For example, if end is 2017-05-01 , AWS retrieves cost and usage data from the start date up to, but not including, 2017-05-01 .

type Filter

dict

param Filter

Filters Savings Plans utilization coverage data for active Savings Plans dimensions. You can filter data with the following dimensions:

  • LINKED_ACCOUNT

  • SAVINGS_PLAN_ARN

  • REGION

  • PAYMENT_OPTIONS

  • INSTANCE_TYPE_FAMILY

GetSavingsPlansUtilizationDetails uses the same Expression object as the other operations, but only AND is supported among each dimension. If there are multiple values for a dimension, they are OR'd together.

  • Or (list) --

    Return results that match either Dimension object.

    • (dict) --

      Use Expression to filter by cost or by usage. There are two patterns:

      • Simple dimension values - You can set the dimension name and values for the filters that you plan to use. For example, you can filter for REGION==us-east-1 OR REGION==us-west-1 . The Expression for that looks like this: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } } The list of dimension values are OR'd together to retrieve cost or usage data. You can create Expression and DimensionValues objects using either with* methods or set* methods in multiple lines.

      • Compound dimension values with logical operations - You can use multiple Expression types and the logical operators AND/OR/NOT to create a list of one or more Expression objects. This allows you to filter on more advanced options. For example, you can filter on ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) . The Expression for that looks like this: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

      Note

      Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error.

      { "And": [ ... ], "DimensionValues": { "Dimension": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

      Note

      For GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT is not supported. OR is not supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

  • And (list) --

    Return results that match both Dimension objects.

    • (dict) --

      Use Expression to filter by cost or by usage. There are two patterns:

      • Simple dimension values - You can set the dimension name and values for the filters that you plan to use. For example, you can filter for REGION==us-east-1 OR REGION==us-west-1 . The Expression for that looks like this: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } } The list of dimension values are OR'd together to retrieve cost or usage data.

      Note

      Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error.

      { "And": [ ... ], "DimensionValues": { "Dimension": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

      Note

      For GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT is not supported. OR is not supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

  • Not (dict) --

    Return results that don't match a Dimension object.

  • Dimensions (dict) --

    The specific Dimension to use for Expression .

    • Key (string) --

      The names of the metadata types that you can use to filter and group your results. For example, AZ returns a list of Availability Zones.

    • Values (list) --

      The metadata values that you can use to filter and group your results. You can use GetDimensionValues to find specific values.

      Valid values for the SERVICE dimension are Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud - Compute , Amazon Elasticsearch Service , Amazon ElastiCache , Amazon Redshift , and Amazon Relational Database Service .

      • (string) --

  • Tags (dict) --

    The specific Tag to use for Expression .

    • Key (string) --

      The key for the tag.

    • Values (list) --

      The specific value of the tag.

type TimePeriod

dict

param TimePeriod

[REQUIRED]

Sets the start and end dates for retrieving AWS costs. The start date is inclusive, but the end date is exclusive. For example, if start is 2017-01-01 and end is 2017-05-01 , then the cost and usage data is retrieved from 2017-01-01 up to and including 2017-04-30 but not including 2017-05-01 .

  • Start (string) -- [REQUIRED]

    The beginning of the time period that you want the usage and costs for. The start date is inclusive. For example, if start is 2017-01-01 , AWS retrieves cost and usage data starting at 2017-01-01 up to the end date.

  • End (string) -- [REQUIRED]

    The end of the time period that you want the usage and costs for. The end date is exclusive. For example, if end is 2017-05-01 , AWS retrieves cost and usage data from the start date up to, but not including, 2017-05-01 .

type Granularity

string

param Granularity

Sets the AWS cost granularity to MONTHLY or DAILY . If Granularity isn't set, the response object doesn't include the Granularity , either MONTHLY or DAILY .

The GetCostAndUsageRequest operation supports only DAILY and MONTHLY granularities.

type Filter

dict

param Filter

Filters AWS costs by different dimensions. For example, you can specify SERVICE and LINKED_ACCOUNT and get the costs that are associated with that account's usage of that service. You can nest Expression objects to define any combination of dimension filters. For more information, see Expression .

  • Or (list) --

    Return results that match either Dimension object.

    • (dict) --

      Use Expression to filter by cost or by usage. There are two patterns:

      • Simple dimension values - You can set the dimension name and values for the filters that you plan to use. For example, you can filter for REGION==us-east-1 OR REGION==us-west-1 . The Expression for that looks like this: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } } The list of dimension values are OR'd together to retrieve cost or usage data. You can create Expression and DimensionValues objects using either with* methods or set* methods in multiple lines.

      • Compound dimension values with logical operations - You can use multiple Expression types and the logical operators AND/OR/NOT to create a list of one or more Expression objects. This allows you to filter on more advanced options. For example, you can filter on ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) . The Expression for that looks like this: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

      Note

      Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error.

      { "And": [ ... ], "DimensionValues": { "Dimension": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

      Note

      For GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT is not supported. OR is not supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

  • And (list) --

    Return results that match both Dimension objects.

    • (dict) --

      Use Expression to filter by cost or by usage. There are two patterns:

      • Simple dimension values - You can set the dimension name and values for the filters that you plan to use. For example, you can filter for REGION==us-east-1 OR REGION==us-west-1 . The Expression for that looks like this: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } } The list of dimension values are OR'd together to retrieve cost or usage data. You can create Expression and DimensionValues objects using either with* methods or set* methods in multiple lines.

      • Compound dimension values with logical operations - You can use multiple Expression types and the logical operators AND/OR/NOT to create a list of one or more Expression objects. This allows you to filter on more advanced options. For example, you can filter on ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) . The Expression for that looks like this: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

      Note

      Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error.

      { "And": [ ... ], "DimensionValues": { "Dimension": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

      Note

      For GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT is not supported. OR is not supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

  • Not (dict) --

    Return results that don't match a Dimension object.

  • Dimensions (dict) --

    The specific Dimension to use for Expression .

    • Key (string) --

      The names of the metadata types that you can use to filter and group your results. For example, AZ returns a list of Availability Zones.

    • Values (list) --

      The metadata values that you can use to filter and group your results. You can use GetDimensionValues to find specific values.

      Valid values for the SERVICE dimension are Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud - Compute , Amazon Elasticsearch Service , Amazon ElastiCache , Amazon Redshift , and Amazon Relational Database Service .

      • (string) --

  • Tags (dict) --

    The specific Tag to use for Expression .

    • Key (string) --

      The key for the tag.

    • Values (list) --

      The specific value of the tag.

      • (string) --

type Metrics

list

param Metrics

Which metrics are returned in the query. For more information about blended and unblended rates, see Why does the "blended" annotation appear on some line items in my bill? .

Valid values are AmortizedCost , BlendedCost , NetAmortizedCost , NetUnblendedCost , NormalizedUsageAmount , UnblendedCost , and UsageQuantity .

Note

If you return the UsageQuantity metric, the service aggregates all usage numbers without taking into account the units. For example, if you aggregate usageQuantity across all of Amazon EC2, the results aren't meaningful because Amazon EC2 compute hours and data transfer are measured in different units (for example, hours vs. GB). To get more meaningful UsageQuantity metrics, filter by UsageType or UsageTypeGroups .

Metrics is required for GetCostAndUsage requests.

  • (string) --

type GroupBy

list

param GroupBy

You can group AWS costs using up to two different groups, either dimensions, tag keys, or both.

When you group by tag key, you get all tag values, including empty strings.

Valid values are AZ , INSTANCE_TYPE , LEGAL_ENTITY_NAME , LINKED_ACCOUNT , OPERATION , PLATFORM , PURCHASE_TYPE , SERVICE , TAGS , TENANCY , and USAGE_TYPE .

  • (dict) --

    Represents a group when you specify a group by criteria or in the response to a query with a specific grouping.

    • Type (string) --

      The string that represents the type of group.

    • Key (string) --

type TimePeriod

dict

param TimePeriod

[REQUIRED]

The start and end dates of the period that you want to retrieve data about reservation coverage for. You can retrieve data for a maximum of 13 months: the last 12 months and the current month. The start date is inclusive, but the end date is exclusive. For example, if start is 2017-01-01 and end is 2017-05-01 , then the cost and usage data is retrieved from 2017-01-01 up to and including 2017-04-30 but not including 2017-05-01 .

  • Start (string) -- [REQUIRED]

    The beginning of the time period that you want the usage and costs for. The start date is inclusive. For example, if start is 2017-01-01 , AWS retrieves cost and usage data starting at 2017-01-01 up to the end date.

  • End (string) -- [REQUIRED]

    The end of the time period that you want the usage and costs for. The end date is exclusive. For example, if end is 2017-05-01 , AWS retrieves cost and usage data from the start date up to, but not including, 2017-05-01 .

type GroupBy

list

param GroupBy

You can group the data by the following attributes:

  • AZ

  • CACHE_ENGINE

  • DATABASE_ENGINE

  • DEPLOYMENT_OPTION

  • INSTANCE_TYPE

  • LINKED_ACCOUNT

  • OPERATING_SYSTEM

  • PLATFORM

  • REGION

  • TENANCY

  • (dict) --

    Represents a group when you specify a group by criteria or in the response to a query with a specific grouping.

    • Type (string) --

      The string that represents the type of group.

    • Key (string) --

      The string that represents a key for a specified group.

type Granularity

string

param Granularity

The granularity of the AWS cost data for the reservation. Valid values are MONTHLY and DAILY .

If GroupBy is set, Granularity can't be set. If Granularity isn't set, the response object doesn't include Granularity , either MONTHLY or DAILY .

The GetReservationCoverage operation supports only DAILY and MONTHLY granularities.

type Filter

dict

param Filter

Filters utilization data by dimensions. You can filter by the following dimensions:

  • AZ

  • CACHE_ENGINE

  • DATABASE_ENGINE

  • DEPLOYMENT_OPTION

  • INSTANCE_TYPE

  • LINKED_ACCOUNT

  • OPERATING_SYSTEM

  • PLATFORM

  • REGION

  • SERVICE

  • TAG

  • TENANCY

GetReservationCoverage uses the same Expression object as the other operations, but only AND is supported among each dimension. You can nest only one level deep. If there are multiple values for a dimension, they are OR'd together.

If you don't provide a SERVICE filter, Cost Explorer defaults to EC2.

  • Or (list) --

    Return results that match either Dimension object.

    • (dict) --

      Use Expression to filter by cost or by usage. There are two patterns:

      • Simple dimension values - You can set the dimension name and values for the filters that you plan to use. For example, you can filter for REGION==us-east-1 OR REGION==us-west-1 . The Expression for that looks like this: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } } The list of dimension values are OR'd together to retrieve cost or usage data. You can create Expression and DimensionValues objects using either with* methods or set* methods in multiple lines.

      • Compound dimension values with logical operations - You can use multiple Expression types and the logical operators AND/OR/NOT to create a list of one or more Expression objects. This allows you to filter on more advanced options. For example, you can filter on ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) . The Expression for that looks like this: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

      Note

      Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error.

      { "And": [ ... ], "DimensionValues": { "Dimension": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

      Note

      For GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT is not supported. OR is not supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

  • And (list) --

    Return results that match both Dimension objects.

    • (dict) --

      Use Expression to filter by cost or by usage. There are two patterns:

      • Simple dimension values - You can set the dimension name and values for the filters that you plan to use. For example, you can filter for REGION==us-east-1 OR REGION==us-west-1 . The Expression for that looks like this: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } } The list of dimension values are OR'd together to retrieve cost or usage data. You can create Expression and DimensionValues objects using either with* methods or set* methods in multiple lines.

      • Compound dimension values with logical operations - You can use multiple Expression types and the logical operators AND/OR/NOT to create a list of one or more Expression objects. This allows you to filter on more advanced options. For example, you can filter on ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) . The Expression for that looks like this: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

      Note

      Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error.

      { "And": [ ... ], "DimensionValues": { "Dimension": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

      Note

      For GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT is not supported. OR is not supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

  • Not (dict) --

    Return results that don't match a Dimension object.

  • Dimensions (dict) --

    The specific Dimension to use for Expression .

    • Key (string) --

      The names of the metadata types that you can use to filter and group your results. For example, AZ returns a list of Availability Zones.

    • Values (list) --

      The metadata values that you can use to filter and group your results. You can use GetDimensionValues to find specific values.

      Valid values for the SERVICE dimension are Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud - Compute , Amazon Elasticsearch Service , Amazon ElastiCache , Amazon Redshift , and Amazon Relational Database Service .

      • (string) --

  • Tags (dict) --

    The specific Tag to use for Expression .

type TimePeriod

dict

param TimePeriod

[REQUIRED]

Sets the start and end dates for retrieving RI utilization. The start date is inclusive, but the end date is exclusive. For example, if start is 2017-01-01 and end is 2017-05-01 , then the cost and usage data is retrieved from 2017-01-01 up to and including 2017-04-30 but not including 2017-05-01 .

  • Start (string) -- [REQUIRED]

    The beginning of the time period that you want the usage and costs for. The start date is inclusive. For example, if start is 2017-01-01 , AWS retrieves cost and usage data starting at 2017-01-01 up to the end date.

  • End (string) -- [REQUIRED]

    The end of the time period that you want the usage and costs for. The end date is exclusive. For example, if end is 2017-05-01 , AWS retrieves cost and usage data from the start date up to, but not including, 2017-05-01 .

type GroupBy

list

param GroupBy

Groups only by SUBSCRIPTION_ID . Metadata is included.

  • (dict) --

    Represents a group when you specify a group by criteria or in the response to a query with a specific grouping.

    • Type (string) --

      The string that represents the type of group.

    • Key (string) --

      The string that represents a key for a specified group.

type Granularity

string

param Granularity

If GroupBy is set, Granularity can't be set. If Granularity isn't set, the response object doesn't include Granularity , either MONTHLY or DAILY . If both GroupBy and Granularity aren't set, GetReservationUtilization defaults to DAILY .

The GetReservationUtilization operation supports only DAILY and MONTHLY granularities.

type Filter

dict

param Filter

Filters utilization data by dimensions. You can filter by the following dimensions:

  • AZ

  • CACHE_ENGINE

  • DATABASE_ENGINE

  • DEPLOYMENT_OPTION

  • INSTANCE_TYPE

  • LINKED_ACCOUNT

  • OPERATING_SYSTEM

  • PLATFORM

  • REGION

  • SERVICE

  • SCOPE

  • TENANCY

GetReservationUtilization uses the same Expression object as the other operations, but only AND is supported among each dimension, and nesting is supported up to only one level deep. If there are multiple values for a dimension, they are OR'd together.

  • Or (list) --

    Return results that match either Dimension object.

    • (dict) --

      Use Expression to filter by cost or by usage. There are two patterns:

      • Simple dimension values - You can set the dimension name and values for the filters that you plan to use. For example, you can filter for REGION==us-east-1 OR REGION==us-west-1 . The Expression for that looks like this: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } } The list of dimension values are OR'd together to retrieve cost or usage data. You can create Expression and DimensionValues objects using either with* methods or set* methods in multiple lines.

      • Compound dimension values with logical operations - You can use multiple Expression types and the logical operators AND/OR/NOT to create a list of one or more Expression objects. This allows you to filter on more advanced options. For example, you can filter on ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) . The Expression for that looks like this: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

      Note

      Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error.

      { "And": [ ... ], "DimensionValues": { "Dimension": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

      Note

      For GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT is not supported. OR is not supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

  • And (list) --

    Return results that match both Dimension objects.

    • (dict) --

      Use Expression to filter by cost or by usage. There are two patterns:

      • Simple dimension values - You can set the dimension name and values for the filters that you plan to use. For example, you can filter for REGION==us-east-1 OR REGION==us-west-1 . The Expression for that looks like this: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } } The list of dimension values are OR'd together to retrieve cost or usage data. You can create Expression and DimensionValues objects using either with* methods or set* methods in multiple lines.

This allows you to filter on more advanced options. For example, you can filter on ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) . The Expression for that looks like this: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

      Note

      Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error.

      { "And": [ ... ], "DimensionValues": { "Dimension": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

      Note

      For GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT is not supported. OR is not supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

  • Not (dict) --

    Return results that don't match a Dimension object.

  • Dimensions (dict) --

    The specific Dimension to use for Expression .

    • Key (string) --

      The names of the metadata types that you can use to filter and group your results. For example, AZ returns a list of Availability Zones.

    • Values (list) --

      The metadata values that you can use to filter and group your results. You can use GetDimensionValues to find specific values.

      Valid values for the SERVICE dimension are Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud - Compute , Amazon Elasticsearch Service , Amazon ElastiCache , Amazon Redshift , and Amazon Relational Database Service .

      • (string) --

  • Tags (dict) --

    The specific Tag to use for Expression .

    • Key (string) --

      The key for the tag.

    • Values (list) --

      The specific value of the tag.

      • (string) --

type NextPageToken

param Filter

Use Expression to filter by cost or by usage. There are two patterns:

  • Simple dimension values - You can set the dimension name and values for the filters that you plan to use. For example, you can filter for REGION==us-east-1 OR REGION==us-west-1 . The Expression for that looks like this: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } } The list of dimension values are OR'd together to retrieve cost or usage data. You can create Expression and DimensionValues objects using either with* methods or set* methods in multiple lines.

  • Compound dimension values with logical operations - You can use multiple Expression types and the logical operators AND/OR/NOT to create a list of one or more Expression objects. This allows you to filter on more advanced options. For example, you can filter on ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) . The Expression for that looks like this: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

Note

Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error.

{ "And": [ ... ], "DimensionValues": { "Dimension": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

Note

For GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT is not supported. OR is not supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

  • Or (list) --

    Return results that match either Dimension object.

  • Dimensions (dict) --

    The specific Dimension to use for Expression .

    • Key (string) --

      The names of the metadata types that you can use to filter and group your results. For example, AZ returns a list of Availability Zones.

    • Values (list) --

      The metadata values that you can use to filter and group your results. You can use GetDimensionValues to find specific values.

      Valid values for the SERVICE dimension are Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud - Compute , Amazon Elasticsearch Service , Amazon ElastiCache , Amazon Redshift , and Amazon Relational Database Service .

      • (string) --

  • Tags (dict) --

type TimePeriod

dict

param TimePeriod

[REQUIRED]

The start and end dates of the period that you want to retrieve usage forecast for. The start date is inclusive, but the end date is exclusive. For example, if start is 2017-01-01 and end is 2017-05-01 , then the cost and usage data is retrieved from 2017-01-01 up to and including 2017-04-30 but not including 2017-05-01 .

  • Start (string) -- [REQUIRED]

    The beginning of the time period that you want the usage and costs for. The start date is inclusive. For example, if start is 2017-01-01 , AWS retrieves cost and usage data starting at 2017-01-01 up to the end date.

  • End (string) -- [REQUIRED]

    The end of the time period that you want the usage and costs for. The end date is exclusive. For example, if end is 2017-05-01 , AWS retrieves cost and usage data from the start date up to, but not including, 2017-05-01 .

type Metric

string

param Metric

[REQUIRED]

Which metric Cost Explorer uses to create your forecast.

Valid values for a GetUsageForecast call are the following:

  • USAGE_QUANTITY

  • NORMALIZED_USAGE_AMOUNT

type Granularity

string

param Granularity

[REQUIRED]

How granular you want the forecast to be. You can get 3 months of DAILY forecasts or 12 months of MONTHLY forecasts.

The GetUsageForecast operation supports only DAILY and MONTHLY granularities.

type Filter

dict

param Filter

The filters that you want to use to filter your forecast. Cost Explorer API supports all of the Cost Explorer filters.

  • Or (list) --

    Return results that match either Dimension object.

    • (dict) --

      Use Expression to filter by cost or by usage. There are two patterns:

      • Simple dimension values - You can set the dimension name and values for the filters that you plan to use. For example, you can filter for REGION==us-east-1 OR REGION==us-west-1 . The Expression for that looks like this: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } } The list of dimension values are OR'd together to retrieve cost or usage data. You can create Expression and DimensionValues objects using either with* methods or set* methods in multiple lines.

      • Compound dimension values with logical operations - You can use multiple Expression types and the logical operators AND/OR/NOT to create a list of one or more Expression objects. This allows you to filter on more advanced options. For example, you can filter on ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) . The Expression for that looks like this: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

      Note

      Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error.

      { "And": [ ... ], "DimensionValues": { "Dimension": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

      Note

      For GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT is not supported. OR is not supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

  • And (list) --

    Return results that match both Dimension objects.

    • (dict) --

      Use Expression to filter by cost or by usage. There are two patterns:

      • Simple dimension values - You can set the dimension name and values for the filters that you plan to use. For example, you can filter for REGION==us-east-1 OR REGION==us-west-1 . The Expression for that looks like this: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } } The list of dimension values are OR'd together to retrieve cost or usage data.

      • Compound dimension values with logical operations - You can use multiple Expression types and the logical operators AND/OR/NOT to create a list of one or more Expression objects. This allows you to filter on more advanced options. For example, you can filter on ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) . The Expression for that looks like this: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

      Note

      Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error.

      { "And": [ ... ], "DimensionValues": { "Dimension": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

      Note

      For GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT is not supported. OR is not supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

  • Not (dict) --

    Return results that don't match a Dimension object.

  • Dimensions (dict) --

    The specific Dimension to use for Expression .

    • Key (string) --

      The names of the metadata types that you can use to filter and group your results. For example, AZ returns a list of Availability Zones.

    • Values (list) --

      The metadata values that you can use to filter and group your results. You can use GetDimensionValues to find specific values.

      Valid values for the SERVICE dimension are Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud - Compute , Amazon Elasticsearch Service , Amazon ElastiCache , Amazon Redshift , and Amazon Relational Database Service .

      • (string) --

  • Tags (dict) --

    The specific Tag to use for Expression .

    • Key (string) --

      The key for the tag.

    • Values (list) --

      The specific value of the tag.

      • (string) --

type PredictionIntervalLevel

integer

param PredictionIntervalLevel

Cost Explorer always returns the mean forecast as a single point. You can request a prediction interval around the mean by specifying a confidence level. The higher the confidence level, the more confident Cost Explorer is about the actual value falling in the prediction interval. Higher confidence levels result in wider prediction intervals.
