2020/11/04 - AWSMarketplace Metering - 2 updated api methods
Changes Adding Vendor Tagging Support in MeterUsage and BatchMeterUsage API.
{'UsageRecords': {'UsageAllocations': [{'AllocatedUsageQuantity': 'integer',
'Tags': [{'Key': 'string',
'Value': 'string'}]}]}}
Response {'Results': {'UsageRecord': {'UsageAllocations': [{'AllocatedUsageQuantity': 'integer',
'Tags': [{'Key': 'string',
'Value': 'string'}]}]}},
'UnprocessedRecords': {'UsageAllocations': [{'AllocatedUsageQuantity': 'integer',
'Tags': [{'Key': 'string',
'Value': 'string'}]}]}}
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.
A UsageRecord can optionally include multiple usage allocations, to provide customers with usagedata split into buckets by tags that you define (or allow the customer to define).
BatchMeterUsage requests must be less than 1MB in size.

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, in UTC, for which the usage is being reported.
Your application can meter usage for up to one hour in the past. Make sure the timestamp value is not before the start of the software usage.
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) --
The quantity of usage consumed by the customer for the given dimension and time. Defaults to 0 if not specified.
UsageAllocations (list) --
The set of UsageAllocations to submit. The sum of all UsageAllocation quantities must equal the Quantity of the UsageRecord.
(dict) --
Usage allocations allow you to split usage into buckets by tags.
Each UsageAllocation indicates the usage quantity for a specific set of tags.
AllocatedUsageQuantity (integer) -- [REQUIRED]
The total quantity allocated to this bucket of usage.
Tags (list) --
The set of tags that define the bucket of usage. For the bucket of items with no tags, this parameter can be left out.
(dict) --
Metadata assigned to an allocation. Each tag is made up of a key and a value.
Key (string) -- [REQUIRED]
One part of a key-value pair that makes up a tag. A key is a label that acts like a category for the specific tag values.
Value (string) -- [REQUIRED]
One part of a key-value pair that makes up a tag. A value acts as a descriptor within a tag category (key). The value can be empty or null.
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.

Response Structure
(dict) --
Contains the UsageRecords processed by BatchMeterUsage and any records that have failed due to transient error.
Results (list) --
Contains all UsageRecords processed by BatchMeterUsage. These records were either honored by AWS Marketplace Metering Service or were invalid.
(dict) --
A UsageRecordResult indicates the status of a given UsageRecord processed by BatchMeterUsage.
UsageRecord (dict) --
The UsageRecord that was part of the BatchMeterUsage request.
Timestamp (datetime) --
Timestamp, in UTC, for which the usage is being reported.
Your application can meter usage for up to one hour in the past. Make sure the timestamp value is not before the start of the software usage.
CustomerIdentifier (string) --
The CustomerIdentifier is obtained through the ResolveCustomer operation and represents an individual buyer in your application.
Dimension (string) --
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) --
The quantity of usage consumed by the customer for the given dimension and time. Defaults to 0 if not specified.
UsageAllocations (list) --
The set of UsageAllocations to submit. The sum of all UsageAllocation quantities must equal the Quantity of the UsageRecord.
(dict) --
Usage allocations allow you to split usage into buckets by tags.
Each UsageAllocation indicates the usage quantity for a specific set of tags.
AllocatedUsageQuantity (integer) --
The total quantity allocated to this bucket of usage.
Tags (list) --
The set of tags that define the bucket of usage. For the bucket of items with no tags, this parameter can be left out.
(dict) --
Metadata assigned to an allocation. Each tag is made up of a key and a value.
Key (string) --
One part of a key-value pair that makes up a tag. A key is a label that acts like a category for the specific tag values.

One part of a key-value pair that makes up a tag. A value acts as a descriptor within a tag category (key). The value can be empty or null.
MeteringRecordId (string) --
The MeteringRecordId is a unique identifier for this metering event.
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.
DuplicateRecord - Indicates that the UsageRecord was invalid and not honored. A previously metered UsageRecord had the same customer, dimension, and time, but a different quantity.

{'UsageAllocations': [{'AllocatedUsageQuantity': 'integer',
'Tags': [{'Key': 'string', 'Value': 'string'}]}]}
API to emit metering records. For identical requests, the API is idempotent. It simply returns the metering record ID.
MeterUsage is authenticated on the buyer's AWS account using credentials from the EC2 instance, ECS task, or EKS pod.
MeterUsage can optionally include multiple usage allocations, to provide customers with usage data split into buckets by tags that you define (or allow the customer to define).
