2016/11/17 - AWSMarketplace Metering - 2 new api methods
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

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.
