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, then the cost and usage data is retrieved starting at 2017-01-01 up to the end date.
End (string) -- [REQUIRED]

string
The context for the call to GetDimensionValues. This can be RESERVED_INSTANCE or COST_AND_USAGE. The default value is COST_AND_USAGE. If the context is set to RESERVED_INSTANCE, the resulting dimension values can be used in the GetReservationUtilization action. If the context is set to COST_AND_USAGE, , the resulting dimension values can be used in the GetCostAndUsage operation.
If you set the context to CostAndUsage, you can use the following dimensions for searching:

UsageType -The type of usage. An example is DataTransfer-In-Bytes. The response for the GetDimensionValues action includes a unit attribute, examples of which include GB and Hrs.
UsageTypeGroup - The grouping of common usage types. An example is EC2: CloudWatch – Alarms. The response for this action includes a unit attribute.
RecordType - The different types of charges such as RI fees, usage costs, tax refunds, and credits
If you set the context to ReservedInstance, you can use the following dimensions for searching:
AZ - The Availability Zone. An example is us-east-1a.

You can also filter and group your data by various dimensions, such as AWS Service or AvailabilityZone, in a specific time range. See the GetDimensionValues action for a complete list of the valid dimensions. Master accounts in an organization have access to all member accounts.

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, then the cost and usage data is retrieved starting at 2017-01-01 up to the end date.

dict
Filters AWS costs by different dimensions. For example, you can specify Service and Linked Account and get the costs 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 the Expression object or More Examples.
Or (list) --
Return results that match either Dimension.
(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 InstanceType==m4.xlarge OR InstanceType==c4.large. The Expression for that looks like this. { "Dimensions": { "Key": "InstanceType", "Values": [ "m4.xlarge", “c4.large” ] } } 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 ((InstanceType == m4.large OR InstanceType == m3.large) OR (Tag.Type == Type1)) AND (UsageType != DataTransfer). The Expression for that looks like this. { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "InstanceType", "Values": [ "m4.x.large", "c4.large" ] }}, {"Tag": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"dimensions": { "Key": "UsageType", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }
And (list) --
Return results that match both Dimension objects.
