Request Syntax

response = client.get_cost_estimate(
    resourceName='string',
    startTime=datetime(2015, 1, 1),
    endTime=datetime(2015, 1, 1)
)

Parameters:

• resourceName (string) –

  [REQUIRED]

  The resource name.

• startTime (datetime) –

  [REQUIRED]

  The cost estimate start time.

  Constraints:

  • Specified in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

  • Specified in the Unix time format. For example, if you wish to use a start time of October 1, 2018, at 8 PM UTC, specify 1538424000 as the start time.

  You can convert a human-friendly time to Unix time format using a converter like Epoch converter.

• endTime (datetime) –

  [REQUIRED]

  The cost estimate end time.

  Constraints:

  • Specified in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

  • Specified in the Unix time format. For example, if you wish to use an end time of October 1, 2018, at 9 PM UTC, specify 1538427600 as the end time.

Response Structure

• (dict) –

  • resourcesBudgetEstimate (list) –

    Returns the estimate’s forecasted cost or usage.

    • (dict) –

      Describes the estimated cost or usage that a budget tracks.

      • resourceName (string) –

        The resource name.

      • resourceType (string) –

        The type of resource the budget will track.

      • costEstimates (list) –

        The cost estimate for the specified budget.

        • (dict) –

          Describes the estimated cost for resources in your Lightsail for Research account.

          • usageType (string) –

            The types of usage that are included in the estimate, such as costs, usage, or data transfer.

          • resultsByTime (list) –

            The cost estimate result that’s associated with a time period.

            • (dict) –

              An estimate that’s associated with a time period.

              • usageCost (float) –

                The amount of cost or usage that’s measured for the cost estimate.

              • pricingUnit (string) –

                The unit of measurement that’s used for the cost estimate.

              • unit (float) –

                The number of pricing units used to calculate the total number of hours. For example, 1 unit equals 1 hour.

              • currency (string) –

                The currency of the estimate in USD.

              • timePeriod (dict) –

                The period of time, in days, that an estimate covers. The period has a start date and an end date. The start date must come before the end date.

                • start (datetime) –

                  The beginning of the time period. The start date is inclusive. For example, if start is 2017-01-01, Lightsail for Research retrieves cost and usage data starting at 2017-01-01 up to the end date. The start date must be equal to or no later than the current date to avoid a validation error.

                • end (datetime) –

                  The end of the time period. The end date is exclusive. For example, if end is 2017-05-01, Lightsail for Research retrieves cost and usage data from the start date up to, but not including, 2017-05-01.

      • startTime (datetime) –

        The estimate start time.

      • endTime (datetime) –

        The estimate end time.
