Pricing.Client¶A low-level client representing AWS Price List Service (Pricing)
Amazon Web Services Price List API is a centralized and convenient way to programmatically query Amazon Web Services for services, products, and pricing information. The Amazon Web Services Price List uses standardized product attributes such as Location , Storage Class , and Operating System , and provides prices at the SKU level. You can use the Amazon Web Services Price List to build cost control and scenario planning tools, reconcile billing data, forecast future spend for budgeting purposes, and provide cost benefit analysis that compare your internal workloads with Amazon Web Services.
Use GetServices without a service code to retrieve the service codes for all AWS services, then GetServices with a service code to retrieve the attribute names for that service. After you have the service code and attribute names, you can use GetAttributeValues to see what values are available for an attribute. With the service code and an attribute name and value, you can use GetProducts to find specific products that you're interested in, such as an AmazonEC2 instance, with a Provisioned IOPS volumeType .
Service Endpoint
Amazon Web Services Price List service API provides the following two endpoints:
import boto3
client = boto3.client('pricing')
These are the available methods:
can_paginate()close()describe_services()get_attribute_values()get_paginator()get_products()get_waiter()can_paginate(operation_name)¶Check if an operation can be paginated.
create_foo, and you'd normally invoke the
operation as client.create_foo(**kwargs), if the
create_foo operation can be paginated, you can use the
call client.get_paginator("create_foo").True if the operation can be paginated,
False otherwise.close()¶Closes underlying endpoint connections.
describe_services(**kwargs)¶Returns the metadata for one service or a list of the metadata for all services. Use this without a service code to get the service codes for all services. Use it with a service code, such as AmazonEC2 , to get information specific to that service, such as the attribute names available for that service. For example, some of the attribute names available for EC2 are volumeType , maxIopsVolume , operation , locationType , and instanceCapacity10xlarge .
