2016/11/17 - AWSMarketplace Metering - 2 new api methods
ResolveCustomer is called by a SaaS application during the registration process. When a buyer visits your website during the registration process, the buyer submits a registration token through their browser. The registration token is resolved through this API to obtain a CustomerIdentifier and product code.
Request Syntax
client.resolve_customer(
RegistrationToken='string'
)
string
[REQUIRED]
When a buyer visits your website during the registration process, the buyer submits a registration token through the browser. The registration token is resolved to obtain a CustomerIdentifier and product code.
dict
Response Syntax
{
'CustomerIdentifier': 'string',
'ProductCode': 'string'
}
Response Structure
(dict) --
The result of the ResolveCustomer operation. Contains the CustomerIdentifier and product code.
CustomerIdentifier (string) --
The CustomerIdentifier is used to identify an individual customer in your application. Calls to BatchMeterUsage require CustomerIdentifiers for each UsageRecord.
ProductCode (string) --
The product code is returned to confirm that the buyer is registering for your product. Subsequent BatchMeterUsage calls should be made using this product code.
BatchMeterUsage is called from a SaaS application listed on the AWS Marketplace to post metering records for a set of customers.
For identical requests, the API is idempotent; requests can be retried with the same records or a subset of the input records.
Every request to BatchMeterUsage is for one product. If you need to meter usage for multiple products, you must make multiple calls to BatchMeterUsage.
BatchMeterUsage can process up to 25 UsageRecords at a time.
Request Syntax
client.batch_meter_usage(
UsageRecords=[
{
'Timestamp': datetime(2015, 1, 1),
'CustomerIdentifier': 'string',
'Dimension': 'string',
'Quantity': 123
},
],
ProductCode='string'
)
list
[REQUIRED]
The set of UsageRecords to submit. BatchMeterUsage accepts up to 25 UsageRecords at a time.
(dict) --
A UsageRecord indicates a quantity of usage for a given product, customer, dimension and time.
Multiple requests with the same UsageRecords as input will be deduplicated to prevent double charges.
Timestamp (datetime) -- [REQUIRED]
Timestamp of the hour, recorded in UTC. The seconds and milliseconds portions of the timestamp will be ignored.
Your application can meter usage for up to one hour in the past.
CustomerIdentifier (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The CustomerIdentifier is obtained through the ResolveCustomer operation and represents an individual buyer in your application.
Dimension (string) -- [REQUIRED]
During the process of registering a product on AWS Marketplace, up to eight dimensions are specified. These represent different units of value in your application.
Quantity (integer) -- [REQUIRED]
The quantity of usage consumed by the customer for the given dimension and time.
string
[REQUIRED]
Product code is used to uniquely identify a product in AWS Marketplace. The product code should be the same as the one used during the publishing of a new product.

Status (string) --
The UsageRecordResult Status indicates the status of an individual UsageRecord processed by BatchMeterUsage.
Success - The UsageRecord was accepted and honored by BatchMeterUsage.
CustomerNotSubscribed - The CustomerIdentifier specified is not subscribed to your product. The UsageRecord was not honored. Future UsageRecords for this customer will fail until the customer subscribes to your product.
