type Filter:

dict

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"] }}} ] }

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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) --

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"] }}} ] }

  • 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.

GetReservationCoverage (updated) Link ¶
Changes (request)
{'Filter': {'Dimensions': {'Key': {'RIGHTSIZING_TYPE'}}}}

Retrieves the reservation coverage for your account. This enables you to see how much of your Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, Amazon ElastiCache, Amazon Relational Database Service, or Amazon Redshift usage is covered by a reservation. An organization's master account can see the coverage of the associated member accounts. For any time period, you can filter data about reservation usage by the following dimensions:

  • AZ

  • CACHE_ENGINE

  • DATABASE_ENGINE

  • DEPLOYMENT_OPTION

  • INSTANCE_TYPE

  • LINKED_ACCOUNT

  • OPERATING_SYSTEM

  • PLATFORM

  • REGION

  • SERVICE

  • TAG

  • TENANCY

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

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"] }}} ] }

  • 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.

  • 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:

The measurement that you want your reservation coverage reported in.

Valid values are Hour, Unit, and Cost. You can use multiple values in a request.

  • (string) --

    NextPageToken='string'
)
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"] }}} ] }

  • 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"] }}} ] }

  • 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 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"] }}} ] }

  • And (list) --

    Return results that match both Dimension objects.

    • (dict) --

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

  • 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.

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    • Total (dict) --

      How much you're forecasted to use over the forecast period.

      • Amount (string) --

        The actual number that represents the metric.

      • Unit (string) --

        The unit that the metric is given in.

    • ForecastResultsByTime (list) --

      The forecasts for your query, in order. For DAILY forecasts, this is a list of days. For MONTHLY forecasts, this is a list of months.

      • (dict) --

        The forecast created for your query.

        • TimePeriod (dict) --

          The period of time that the forecast covers.

          • Start (string) --

            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) --

            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.

        • MeanValue (string) --

          The mean value of the forecast.

        • PredictionIntervalLowerBound (string) --

          The lower limit for the prediction interval.

        • PredictionIntervalUpperBound (string) --

          The upper limit for the prediction interval.
