Client

class CostExplorer.Client

A low-level client representing AWS Cost Explorer Service

You can use the Cost Explorer API to programmatically query your cost and usage data. You can query for aggregated data such as total monthly costs or total daily usage. You can also query for granular data. This might include the number of daily write operations for Amazon DynamoDB database tables in your production environment.

Service Endpoint

The Cost Explorer API provides the following endpoint:

  • https://ce.us-east-1.amazonaws.com

For information about the costs that are associated with the Cost Explorer API, see Amazon Web Services Cost Management Pricing.

import boto3

client = boto3.client('ce')

These are the available methods:

can_paginate(operation_name)

Check if an operation can be paginated.

Parameters
operation_name (string) -- The operation name. This is the same name as the method name on the client. For example, if the method name is 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").
Returns
True if the operation can be paginated, False otherwise.
close()

Closes underlying endpoint connections.

create_anomaly_monitor(**kwargs)

Creates a new cost anomaly detection monitor with the requested type and monitor specification.

Parameters
  • AnomalyMonitor (dict) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The cost anomaly detection monitor object that you want to create.

    • MonitorArn (string) --

      The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) value.

    • MonitorName (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      The name of the monitor.

    • CreationDate (string) --

      The date when the monitor was created.

    • LastUpdatedDate (string) --

      The date when the monitor was last updated.

    • LastEvaluatedDate (string) --

      The date when the monitor last evaluated for anomalies.

    • MonitorType (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      The possible type values.

    • MonitorDimension (string) --

      The dimensions to evaluate.

    • MonitorSpecification (dict) --

      Use Expression to filter in various Cost Explorer APIs.

      Not all Expression types are supported in each API. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.

      There are two patterns:

      • Simple dimension values.
        • There are three types of simple dimension values: CostCategories , Tags , and Dimensions .
          • Specify the CostCategories field to define a filter that acts on Cost Categories.
          • Specify the Tags field to define a filter that acts on Cost Allocation Tags.
          • Specify the Dimensions field to define a filter that acts on the DimensionValues.
        • For each filter type, 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 . For GetRightsizingRecommendation , the Region is a full name (for example, REGION==US East (N. Virginia) .
          • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } }
          • As shown in the previous example, lists of dimension values are combined with OR when applying the filter.
        • You can also set different match options to further control how the filter behaves. Not all APIs support match options. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.
          • For example, you can filter for linked account names that start with “a”.
          • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME", "MatchOptions": [ "STARTS_WITH" ], "Values": [ "a" ] } }
      • Compound Expression types 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. By doing this, you can filter by more advanced options.
        • For example, you can filter by ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) .
        • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

      Note

      Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error: { "And": [ ... ], "Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

      The following is an example of the corresponding error message: "Expression has more than one roots. Only one root operator is allowed for each expression: And, Or, Not, Dimensions, Tags, CostCategories"

      Note

      For the GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT isn't supported. OR isn't supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

      For the GetReservationPurchaseRecommendation action, only NOT is supported. AND and OR aren't supported. Dimensions are limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT .

      • Or (list) --

        Return results that match either Dimension object.

        • (dict) --

            • For example, you can filter by ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) .
            • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

    • SubscriptionName (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      The name for the subscription.

    • ThresholdExpression (dict) --

      An Expression object used to specify the anomalies that you want to generate alerts for. This supports dimensions and nested expressions. The supported dimensions are ANOMALY_TOTAL_IMPACT_ABSOLUTE and ANOMALY_TOTAL_IMPACT_PERCENTAGE . The supported nested expression types are AND and OR . The match option GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL is required. Values must be numbers between 0 and 10,000,000,000.

      One of Threshold or ThresholdExpression is required for this resource.

      The following are examples of valid ThresholdExpressions:

      • Absolute threshold: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "ANOMALY_TOTAL_IMPACT_ABSOLUTE", "MatchOptions": [ "GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL" ], "Values": [ "100" ] } }
      • Percentage threshold: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "ANOMALY_TOTAL_IMPACT_PERCENTAGE", "MatchOptions": [ "GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL" ], "Values": [ "100" ] } }
      • AND two thresholds together: { "And": [ { "Dimensions": { "Key": "ANOMALY_TOTAL_IMPACT_ABSOLUTE", "MatchOptions": [ "GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL" ], "Values": [ "100" ] } }, { "Dimensions": { "Key": "ANOMALY_TOTAL_IMPACT_PERCENTAGE", "MatchOptions": [ "GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL" ], "Values": [ "100" ] } } ] }
      • OR two thresholds together: { "Or": [ { "Dimensions": { "Key": "ANOMALY_TOTAL_IMPACT_ABSOLUTE", "MatchOptions": [ "GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL" ], "Values": [ "100" ] } }, { "Dimensions": { "Key": "ANOMALY_TOTAL_IMPACT_PERCENTAGE", "MatchOptions": [ "GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL" ], "Values": [ "100" ] } } ] }
      • Or (list) --

        Return results that match either Dimension object.

        • (dict) --

          Use Expression to filter in various Cost Explorer APIs.

          Not all Expression types are supported in each API. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.

          There are two patterns:

          • Simple dimension values.
            • There are three types of simple dimension values: CostCategories , Tags , and Dimensions .
              • Specify the CostCategories field to define a filter that acts on Cost Categories.
              • Specify the Tags field to define a filter that acts on Cost Allocation Tags.
              • Specify the Dimensions field to define a filter that acts on the DimensionValues.
            • For each filter type, 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 . For GetRightsizingRecommendation , the Region is a full name (for example, REGION==US East (N. Virginia) .
              • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } }
              • As shown in the previous example, lists of dimension values are combined with OR when applying the filter.
            • You can also set different match options to further control how the filter behaves. Not all APIs support match options. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.
              • For example, you can filter for linked account names that start with “a”.
              • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME", "MatchOptions": [ "STARTS_WITH" ], "Values": [ "a" ] } }
          • Compound Expression types 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. By doing this, you can filter by more advanced options.
            • For example, you can filter by ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) .
            • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

          Note

          Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error: { "And": [ ... ], "Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

          The following is an example of the corresponding error message: "Expression has more than one roots. Only one root operator is allowed for each expression: And, Or, Not, Dimensions, Tags, CostCategories"

          Note

          For the GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT isn't supported. OR isn't supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

          For the GetReservationPurchaseRecommendation action, only NOT is supported. AND and OR aren't supported. Dimensions are limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT .

      • And (list) --

        Return results that match both Dimension objects.

Parameters
  • Name (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The unique name of the Cost Category.

  • EffectiveStart (string) -- The Cost Category's effective start date. It can only be a billing start date (first day of the month). If the date isn't provided, it's the first day of the current month. Dates can't be before the previous twelve months, or in the future.
  • RuleVersion (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The rule schema version in this particular Cost Category.

  • Rules (list) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The Cost Category rules used to categorize costs. For more information, see CostCategoryRule.

    • (dict) --

      Rules are processed in order. If there are multiple rules that match the line item, then the first rule to match is used to determine that Cost Category value.

      • Value (string) --

        The default value for the cost category.

      • Rule (dict) --

        An Expression object used to categorize costs. This supports dimensions, tags, and nested expressions. Currently the only dimensions supported are LINKED_ACCOUNT , SERVICE_CODE , RECORD_TYPE , and LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME .

        Root level OR isn't supported. We recommend that you create a separate rule instead.

        RECORD_TYPE is a dimension used for Cost Explorer APIs, and is also supported for Cost Category expressions. This dimension uses different terms, depending on whether you're using the console or API/JSON editor. For a detailed comparison, see Term Comparisons in the Billing and Cost Management User Guide .
        • Or (list) --

          Return results that match either Dimension object.

          • (dict) --

            Use Expression to filter in various Cost Explorer APIs.

              • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

            Note

            Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error: { "And": [ ... ], "Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

            The following is an example of the corresponding error message: "Expression has more than one roots. Only one root operator is allowed for each expression: And, Or, Not, Dimensions, Tags, CostCategories"

            Note

            For the GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT isn't supported. OR isn't supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

            For the GetReservationPurchaseRecommendation action, only NOT is supported. AND and OR aren't supported. Dimensions are limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT .

This value is from the dimension value that's defined by CostCategoryInheritedValueDimension . For example, suppose that you want to costs to be dynamically grouped based on the value of a specific tag key. First, choose an inherited value rule type, and then choose the tag dimension and specify the tag key to use.

      • Rules (list) --

        The rules are processed in order. If there are multiple rules that match the line item, then the first rule to match is used to determine that Cost Category value.

        • (dict) --

          Rules are processed in order. If there are multiple rules that match the line item, then the first rule to match is used to determine that Cost Category value.

          • Value (string) --

            The default value for the cost category.

          • Rule (dict) --

            An Expression object used to categorize costs. This supports dimensions, tags, and nested expressions. Currently the only dimensions supported are LINKED_ACCOUNT , SERVICE_CODE , RECORD_TYPE , and LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME .

            Root level OR isn't supported. We recommend that you create a separate rule instead.

            RECORD_TYPE is a dimension used for Cost Explorer APIs, and is also supported for Cost Category expressions. This dimension uses different terms, depending on whether you're using the console or API/JSON editor. For a detailed comparison, see Term Comparisons in the Billing and Cost Management User Guide .

            • Or (list) --

              Return results that match either Dimension object.

              • (dict) --

                Use Expression to filter in various Cost Explorer APIs.

                Not all Expression types are supported in each API. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.

                There are two patterns:

                • Simple dimension values.
                  • There are three types of simple dimension values: CostCategories , Tags , and Dimensions .
                    • Specify the CostCategories field to define a filter that acts on Cost Categories.
                    • Specify the Tags field to define a filter that acts on Cost Allocation Tags.
                    • Specify the Dimensions field to define a filter that acts on the DimensionValues.
                  • For each filter type, 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 . For GetRightsizingRecommendation , the Region is a full name (for example, REGION==US East (N. Virginia) .
                    • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } }
                    • As shown in the previous example, lists of dimension values are combined with OR when applying the filter.
                  • You can also set different match options to further control how the filter behaves. Not all APIs support match options. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.
                    • For example, you can filter for linked account names that start with “a”.
                    • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME", "MatchOptions": [ "STARTS_WITH" ], "Values": [ "a" ] } }
                • Compound Expression types 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. By doing this, you can filter by more advanced options.
                  • For example, you can filter by ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) .
                  • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

                Note

                Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error: { "And": [ ... ], "Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

                The following is an example of the corresponding error message: "Expression has more than one roots. Only one root operator is allowed for each expression: And, Or, Not, Dimensions, Tags, CostCategories"

                Note

                For the GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT isn't supported. OR isn't supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

                For the GetReservationPurchaseRecommendation action, only NOT is supported. AND and OR aren't supported. Dimensions are limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT .

            • And (list) --

              Return results that match both Dimension objects.

                  • You can use multiple Expression types and the logical operators AND/OR/NOT to create a list of one or more Expression objects. By doing this, you can filter by more advanced options.
                  • For example, you can filter by ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) .
                  • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

                Note

                Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error: { "And": [ ... ], "Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

                The following is an example of the corresponding error message: "Expression has more than one roots. Only one root operator is allowed for each expression: And, Or, Not, Dimensions, Tags, CostCategories"

                Note

                For the GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT isn't supported. OR isn't supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

                For the GetReservationPurchaseRecommendation action, only NOT is supported. AND and OR aren't supported. Dimensions are limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT .

          Use Expression to filter in various Cost Explorer APIs.

          Not all Expression types are supported in each API. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.

          There are two patterns:

          • Simple dimension values.
            • There are three types of simple dimension values: CostCategories , Tags , and Dimensions .
              • Specify the CostCategories field to define a filter that acts on Cost Categories.
              • Specify the Tags field to define a filter that acts on Cost Allocation Tags.
              • Specify the Dimensions field to define a filter that acts on the DimensionValues.
            • For each filter type, 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 . For GetRightsizingRecommendation , the Region is a full name (for example, REGION==US East (N. Virginia) .
              • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } }
              • As shown in the previous example, lists of dimension values are combined with OR when applying the filter.
            • You can also set different match options to further control how the filter behaves. Not all APIs support match options. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.
              • For example, you can filter for linked account names that start with “a”.
              • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME", "MatchOptions": [ "STARTS_WITH" ], "Values": [ "a" ] } }
          • Compound Expression types 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. By doing this, you can filter by more advanced options.
            • For example, you can filter by ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) .
            • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

          Note

          Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error: { "And": [ ... ], "Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

          The following is an example of the corresponding error message: "Expression has more than one roots. Only one root operator is allowed for each expression: And, Or, Not, Dimensions, Tags, CostCategories"

          Note

          For the GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT isn't supported. OR isn't supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

          For the GetReservationPurchaseRecommendation action, only NOT is supported. AND and OR aren't supported. Dimensions are limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT .

          • Or (list) --

            Return results that match either Dimension object.

              Use Expression to filter in various Cost Explorer APIs.

              Not all Expression types are supported in each API. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.

              There are two patterns:

              • Simple dimension values.
                • There are three types of simple dimension values: CostCategories , Tags , and Dimensions .
                  • Specify the CostCategories field to define a filter that acts on Cost Categories.
                  • Specify the Tags field to define a filter that acts on Cost Allocation Tags.
                  • Specify the Dimensions field to define a filter that acts on the DimensionValues.
                • For each filter type, 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 . For GetRightsizingRecommendation , the Region is a full name (for example, REGION==US East (N. Virginia) .
                  • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } }
                  • As shown in the previous example, lists of dimension values are combined with OR when applying the filter.
                • You can also set different match options to further control how the filter behaves. Not all APIs support match options. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.
                  • For example, you can filter for linked account names that start with “a”.
                  • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME", "MatchOptions": [ "STARTS_WITH" ], "Values": [ "a" ] } }
              • Compound Expression types 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. By doing this, you can filter by more advanced options.
                • For example, you can filter by ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) .
                • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

                  • Specify the Dimensions field to define a filter that acts on the DimensionValues.
                • For each filter type, 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 . For GetRightsizingRecommendation , the Region is a full name (for example, REGION==US East (N. Virginia) .
                  • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } }
                  • As shown in the previous example, lists of dimension values are combined with OR when applying the filter.
                • You can also set different match options to further control how the filter behaves. Not all APIs support match options. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.
                  • For example, you can filter for linked account names that start with “a”.
                  • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME", "MatchOptions": [ "STARTS_WITH" ], "Values": [ "a" ] } }
              • Compound Expression types 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. By doing this, you can filter by more advanced options.
                • For example, you can filter by ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) .
                • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

              Note

              Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error: { "And": [ ... ], "Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

              The following is an example of the corresponding error message: "Expression has more than one roots. Only one root operator is allowed for each expression: And, Or, Not, Dimensions, Tags, CostCategories"

              Note

              For the GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT isn't supported. OR isn't supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

              For the GetReservationPurchaseRecommendation action, only NOT is supported. AND and OR aren't supported. Dimensions are limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT .

Parameters
  • TimePeriod (dict) --

    [REQUIRED]

    Sets the start date and end date for retrieving Amazon Web Services 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. The start date is inclusive. For example, if start is 2017-01-01 , Amazon Web Services 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 (string) -- [REQUIRED]

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

  • Granularity (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    Sets the Amazon Web Services cost granularity to MONTHLY or DAILY , or HOURLY . If Granularity isn't set, the response object doesn't include the Granularity , either MONTHLY or DAILY , or HOURLY .

  • Filter (dict) --

    Filters Amazon Web Services 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.

    Valid values for MatchOptions for Dimensions are EQUALS and CASE_SENSITIVE .

    Valid values for MatchOptions for CostCategories and Tags are EQUALS , ABSENT , and CASE_SENSITIVE . Default values are EQUALS and CASE_SENSITIVE .

    • Or (list) --

      Return results that match either Dimension object.

      • (dict) --

        Use Expression to filter in various Cost Explorer APIs.

        Not all Expression types are supported in each API. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.

        There are two patterns:

        • Simple dimension values.
          • There are three types of simple dimension values: CostCategories , Tags , and Dimensions .
            • Specify the CostCategories field to define a filter that acts on Cost Categories.
            • Specify the Tags field to define a filter that acts on Cost Allocation Tags.
            • Specify the Dimensions field to define a filter that acts on the DimensionValues.
          • For each filter type, 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 . For GetRightsizingRecommendation , the Region is a full name (for example, REGION==US East (N. Virginia) .
            • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } }
            • As shown in the previous example, lists of dimension values are combined with OR when applying the filter.
          • You can also set different match options to further control how the filter behaves. Not all APIs support match options. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.
            • For example, you can filter for linked account names that start with “a”.
            • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME", "MatchOptions": [ "STARTS_WITH" ], "Values": [ "a" ] } }
        • Compound Expression types 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. By doing this, you can filter by more advanced options.
          • For example, you can filter by ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) .

        The following is an example of the corresponding error message: "Expression has more than one roots. Only one root operator is allowed for each expression: And, Or, Not, Dimensions, Tags, CostCategories"

        Note

        For the GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT isn't supported. OR isn't supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

        For the GetReservationPurchaseRecommendation action, only NOT is supported. AND and OR aren't supported. Dimensions are limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT .

    • And (list) --

      Return results that match both Dimension objects.

      • (dict) --

        Use Expression to filter in various Cost Explorer APIs.

        Not all Expression types are supported in each API. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.

        There are two patterns:

    [REQUIRED]

    Which metrics are returned in the query. For more information about blended and unblended rates, see Why does the "blended" annotation appear on some line items in my bill?.

    Valid values are AmortizedCost , BlendedCost , NetAmortizedCost , NetUnblendedCost , NormalizedUsageAmount , UnblendedCost , and UsageQuantity .

    Note

    If you return the UsageQuantity metric, the service aggregates all usage numbers without taking into account the units. For example, if you aggregate usageQuantity across all of Amazon EC2, the results aren't meaningful because Amazon EC2 compute hours and data transfer are measured in different units (for example, hours and GB). To get more meaningful UsageQuantity metrics, filter by UsageType or UsageTypeGroups .

    Metrics is required for GetCostAndUsage requests.

Parameters
  • TimePeriod (dict) --

    [REQUIRED]

    Sets the start and end dates for retrieving Amazon Web Services costs. The range must be within the last 14 days (the start date cannot be earlier than 14 days ago). 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. The start date is inclusive. For example, if start is 2017-01-01 , Amazon Web Services 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 (string) -- [REQUIRED]

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

  • Granularity (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    Sets the Amazon Web Services cost granularity to MONTHLY , DAILY , or HOURLY . If Granularity isn't set, the response object doesn't include the Granularity , MONTHLY , DAILY , or HOURLY .

  • Filter (dict) --

    [REQUIRED]

    Filters Amazon Web Services 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.

    The GetCostAndUsageWithResources operation requires that you either group by or filter by a ResourceId . It requires the Expression "SERVICE = Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud - Compute" in the filter.

    Valid values for MatchOptions for Dimensions are EQUALS and CASE_SENSITIVE .

    Valid values for MatchOptions for CostCategories and Tags are EQUALS , ABSENT , and CASE_SENSITIVE . Default values are EQUALS and CASE_SENSITIVE .

    • Or (list) --

      Return results that match either Dimension object.

      • (dict) --

        Use Expression to filter in various Cost Explorer APIs.

        Not all Expression types are supported in each API. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.

        There are two patterns:

        • Simple dimension values.
          • There are three types of simple dimension values: CostCategories , Tags , and Dimensions .
            • Specify the CostCategories field to define a filter that acts on Cost Categories.
            • Specify the Tags field to define a filter that acts on Cost Allocation Tags.
            • Specify the Dimensions field to define a filter that acts on the DimensionValues.
          • For each filter type, 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 . For GetRightsizingRecommendation , the Region is a full name (for example, REGION==US East (N. Virginia) .
            • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } }
            • As shown in the previous example, lists of dimension values are combined with OR when applying the filter.
          • You can also set different match options to further control how the filter behaves. Not all APIs support match options. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.
            • For example, you can filter for linked account names that start with “a”.
            • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME", "MatchOptions": [ "STARTS_WITH" ], "Values": [ "a" ] } }
        • Compound Expression types 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. By doing this, you can filter by more advanced options.
          • For example, you can filter by ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) .
          • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

        Note

        Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error: { "And": [ ... ], "Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

        The following is an example of the corresponding error message: "Expression has more than one roots. Only one root operator is allowed for each expression: And, Or, Not, Dimensions, Tags, CostCategories"

        Note

        For the GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT isn't supported. OR isn't supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

        For the GetReservationPurchaseRecommendation action, only NOT is supported. AND and OR aren't supported. Dimensions are limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT .

    • And (list) --

      Return results that match both Dimension objects.

      • (dict) --

        Use Expression to filter in various Cost Explorer APIs.

        Not all Expression types are supported in each API. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.

        • Simple dimension values.
          • There are three types of simple dimension values: CostCategories , Tags , and Dimensions .
            • Specify the CostCategories field to define a filter that acts on Cost Categories.
            • Specify the Tags field to define a filter that acts on Cost Allocation Tags.
            • Specify the Dimensions field to define a filter that acts on the DimensionValues.
          • For each filter type, 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 . For GetRightsizingRecommendation , the Region is a full name (for example, REGION==US East (N. Virginia) .
            • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } }

          • For example, you can filter by ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) .
          • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

        Note

        Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error: { "And": [ ... ], "Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

        The following is an example of the corresponding error message: "Expression has more than one roots. Only one root operator is allowed for each expression: And, Or, Not, Dimensions, Tags, CostCategories"

        Note

    Valid values are AmortizedCost , BlendedCost , NetAmortizedCost , NetUnblendedCost , NormalizedUsageAmount , UnblendedCost , and UsageQuantity .

    Note

    If you return the UsageQuantity metric, the service aggregates all usage numbers without taking the units into account. For example, if you aggregate usageQuantity across all of Amazon EC2, the results aren't meaningful because Amazon EC2 compute hours and data transfer are measured in different units (for example, hour or GB).

Parameters
  • SearchString (string) --

    The value that you want to search the filter values for.

    If you don't specify a CostCategoryName , SearchString is used to filter Cost Category names that match the SearchString pattern. If you specify a CostCategoryName , SearchString is used to filter Cost Category values that match the SearchString pattern.

  • TimePeriod (dict) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The time period of the request.

    • Start (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      The beginning of the time period. The start date is inclusive. For example, if start is 2017-01-01 , Amazon Web Services 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 (string) -- [REQUIRED]

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

  • CostCategoryName (string) -- The unique name of the Cost Category.
  • Filter (dict) --

    Use Expression to filter in various Cost Explorer APIs.

    Not all Expression types are supported in each API. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.

    There are two patterns:

    • Simple dimension values.
      • There are three types of simple dimension values: CostCategories , Tags , and Dimensions .
        • Specify the CostCategories field to define a filter that acts on Cost Categories.
        • Specify the Tags field to define a filter that acts on Cost Allocation Tags.
        • Specify the Dimensions field to define a filter that acts on the DimensionValues.
      • For each filter type, 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 . For GetRightsizingRecommendation , the Region is a full name (for example, REGION==US East (N. Virginia) .
        • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } }
        • As shown in the previous example, lists of dimension values are combined with OR when applying the filter.
      • You can also set different match options to further control how the filter behaves. Not all APIs support match options. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.
        • For example, you can filter for linked account names that start with “a”.
        • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME", "MatchOptions": [ "STARTS_WITH" ], "Values": [ "a" ] } }
    • Compound Expression types 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. By doing this, you can filter by more advanced options.
      • For example, you can filter by ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) .
      • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

    Note

    Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error: { "And": [ ... ], "Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

    The following is an example of the corresponding error message: "Expression has more than one roots. Only one root operator is allowed for each expression: And, Or, Not, Dimensions, Tags, CostCategories"

    Note

    For the GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT isn't supported. OR isn't supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

    For the GetReservationPurchaseRecommendation action, only NOT is supported. AND and OR aren't supported. Dimensions are limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT .

    • Or (list) --

      Return results that match either Dimension object.

      • (dict) --

        Use Expression to filter in various Cost Explorer APIs.

            • Specify the CostCategories field to define a filter that acts on Cost Categories.
            • Specify the Tags field to define a filter that acts on Cost Allocation Tags.
            • Specify the Dimensions field to define a filter that acts on the DimensionValues.
          • For each filter type, 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 . For GetRightsizingRecommendation , the Region is a full name (for example, REGION==US East (N. Virginia) .
            • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } }
            • As shown in the previous example, lists of dimension values are combined with OR when applying the filter.
          • You can also set different match options to further control how the filter behaves. Not all APIs support match options. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.
            • For example, you can filter for linked account names that start with “a”.
            • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME", "MatchOptions": [ "STARTS_WITH" ], "Values": [ "a" ] } }
        • Compound Expression types 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. By doing this, you can filter by more advanced options.
          • For example, you can filter by ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) .
          • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

        Note

        Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error: { "And": [ ... ], "Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

        The following is an example of the corresponding error message: "Expression has more than one roots. Only one root operator is allowed for each expression: And, Or, Not, Dimensions, Tags, CostCategories"

        Note

        For the GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT isn't supported. OR isn't supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

        For the GetReservationPurchaseRecommendation action, only NOT is supported. AND and OR aren't supported. Dimensions are limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT .

    • And (list) --

      Return results that match both Dimension objects.

      • (dict) --

        Use Expression to filter in various Cost Explorer APIs.

        Not all Expression types are supported in each API. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.

            • Specify the Tags field to define a filter that acts on Cost Allocation Tags.
            • Specify the Dimensions field to define a filter that acts on the DimensionValues.

    Use Expression to filter in various Cost Explorer APIs.

    Not all Expression types are supported in each API. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.

    There are two patterns:

    • Simple dimension values.
      • There are three types of simple dimension values: CostCategories , Tags , and Dimensions .
        • Specify the CostCategories field to define a filter that acts on Cost Categories.
        • Specify the Tags field to define a filter that acts on Cost Allocation Tags.
        • Specify the Dimensions field to define a filter that acts on the DimensionValues.
      • For each filter type, 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 . For GetRightsizingRecommendation , the Region is a full name (for example, REGION==US East (N. Virginia) .
        • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } }
        • As shown in the previous example, lists of dimension values are combined with OR when applying the filter.
      • You can also set different match options to further control how the filter behaves. Not all APIs support match options. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.
        • For example, you can filter for linked account names that start with “a”.
        • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME", "MatchOptions": [ "STARTS_WITH" ], "Values": [ "a" ] } }
    • Compound Expression types 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. By doing this, you can filter by more advanced options.
      • For example, you can filter by ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) .
      • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

    Note

    Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error: { "And": [ ... ], "Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

    The following is an example of the corresponding error message: "Expression has more than one roots. Only one root operator is allowed for each expression: And, Or, Not, Dimensions, Tags, CostCategories"

    Note

    For the GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT isn't supported. OR isn't supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

    For the GetReservationPurchaseRecommendation action, only NOT is supported. AND and OR aren't supported. Dimensions are limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT .

    • Or (list) --

      Return results that match either Dimension object.

      • (dict) --

          • You can use multiple Expression types and the logical operators AND/OR/NOT to create a list of one or more Expression objects. By doing this, you can filter by more advanced options.
          • For example, you can filter by ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) .
          • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

        Note

        Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error: { "And": [ ... ], "Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

        The following is an example of the corresponding error message: "Expression has more than one roots. Only one root operator is allowed for each expression: And, Or, Not, Dimensions, Tags, CostCategories"

        Note

        For the GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT isn't supported. OR isn't supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

        For the GetReservationPurchaseRecommendation action, only NOT is supported. AND and OR aren't supported. Dimensions are limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT .

    • And (list) --

      Return results that match both Dimension objects.

      • (dict) --

        Use Expression to filter in various Cost Explorer APIs.

        Not all Expression types are supported in each API. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.

        There are two patterns:

        • Simple dimension values.
          • There are three types of simple dimension values: CostCategories , Tags , and Dimensions .
            • Specify the CostCategories field to define a filter that acts on Cost Categories.
            • Specify the Tags field to define a filter that acts on Cost Allocation Tags.
            • Specify the Dimensions field to define a filter that acts on the DimensionValues.
          • For each filter type, 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 . For GetRightsizingRecommendation , the Region is a full name (for example, REGION==US East (N. Virginia) .
            • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } }
            • As shown in the previous example, lists of dimension values are combined with OR when applying the filter.
          • You can also set different match options to further control how the filter behaves. Not all APIs support match options. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.
            • For example, you can filter for linked account names that start with “a”.
            • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME", "MatchOptions": [ "STARTS_WITH" ], "Values": [ "a" ] } }
        • Compound Expression types 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. By doing this, you can filter by more advanced options.
          • For example, you can filter by ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) .
          • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

Parameters
  • TimePeriod (dict) --

    [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. The start date is inclusive. For example, if start is 2017-01-01 , Amazon Web Services 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 (string) -- [REQUIRED]

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

  • GroupBy (list) --

    You can group the data by the following attributes:

    • AZ
    • CACHE_ENGINE
    • DATABASE_ENGINE
    • DEPLOYMENT_OPTION
    • INSTANCE_TYPE
    • INVOICING_ENTITY
    • 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.

  • Granularity (string) --

    The granularity of the Amazon Web Services 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.

  • Filter (dict) --

    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.

    Cost category is also supported.

    • Or (list) --

      Return results that match either Dimension object.

      • (dict) --

        Use Expression to filter in various Cost Explorer APIs.

        Not all Expression types are supported in each API. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.

        There are two patterns:

        • Simple dimension values.
          • There are three types of simple dimension values: CostCategories , Tags , and Dimensions .
            • Specify the CostCategories field to define a filter that acts on Cost Categories.
            • Specify the Tags field to define a filter that acts on Cost Allocation Tags.
            • Specify the Dimensions field to define a filter that acts on the DimensionValues.
          • For each filter type, 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 . For GetRightsizingRecommendation , the Region is a full name (for example, REGION==US East (N. Virginia) .
            • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } }
            • As shown in the previous example, lists of dimension values are combined with OR when applying the filter.
          • You can also set different match options to further control how the filter behaves. Not all APIs support match options. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.
            • For example, you can filter for linked account names that start with “a”.
            • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME", "MatchOptions": [ "STARTS_WITH" ], "Values": [ "a" ] } }
        • Compound Expression types 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. By doing this, you can filter by more advanced options.
          • For example, you can filter by ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) .
          • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

        Note

        Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error: { "And": [ ... ], "Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

        The following is an example of the corresponding error message: "Expression has more than one roots. Only one root operator is allowed for each expression: And, Or, Not, Dimensions, Tags, CostCategories"

        Note

        For the GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT isn't supported. OR isn't supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

        For the GetReservationPurchaseRecommendation action, only NOT is supported. AND and OR aren't supported. Dimensions are limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT .

    • And (list) --

      Return results that match both Dimension objects.

      • (dict) --

        Use Expression to filter in various Cost Explorer APIs.

        Not all Expression types are supported in each API. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.

        There are two patterns:

        • Simple dimension values.
          • There are three types of simple dimension values: CostCategories , Tags , and Dimensions .
            • Specify the CostCategories field to define a filter that acts on Cost Categories.
            • Specify the Tags field to define a filter that acts on Cost Allocation Tags.
            • Specify the Dimensions field to define a filter that acts on the DimensionValues.
          • For each filter type, 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 . For GetRightsizingRecommendation , the Region is a full name (for example, REGION==US East (N. Virginia) .
            • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } }

          • You can also set different match options to further control how the filter behaves. Not all APIs support match options. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.
            • For example, you can filter for linked account names that start with “a”.
            • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME", "MatchOptions": [ "STARTS_WITH" ], "Values": [ "a" ] } }
        • Compound Expression types 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. By doing this, you can filter by more advanced options.
          • For example, you can filter by ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) .
          • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

        Note

        Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error: { "And": [ ... ], "Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

        The following is an example of the corresponding error message: "Expression has more than one roots. Only one root operator is allowed for each expression: And, Or, Not, Dimensions, Tags, CostCategories"

        Note

        For the GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT isn't supported. OR isn't supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

        For the GetReservationPurchaseRecommendation action, only NOT is supported. AND and OR aren't supported. Dimensions are limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT .

get_reservation_purchase_recommendation(**kwargs)

Gets recommendations for reservation purchases. These recommendations might help you to reduce your costs. Reservations provide a discounted hourly rate (up to 75%) compared to On-Demand pricing.

Amazon Web Services generates your recommendations by identifying your On-Demand usage during a specific time period and collecting your usage into categories that are eligible for a reservation. After Amazon Web Services has these categories, it simulates every combination of reservations in each category of usage to identify the best number of each type of Reserved Instance (RI) to purchase to maximize your estimated savings.

For example, Amazon Web Services automatically aggregates your Amazon EC2 Linux, shared tenancy, and c4 family usage in the US West (Oregon) Region and recommends that you buy size-flexible regional reservations to apply to the c4 family usage. Amazon Web Services recommends the smallest size instance in an instance family. This makes it easier to purchase a size-flexible Reserved Instance (RI). Amazon Web Services also shows the equal number of normalized units. This way, you can purchase any instance size that you want. For this example, your RI recommendation is for c4.large because that is the smallest size instance in the c4 instance family.

Parameters
  • AccountId (string) -- The account ID that's associated with the recommendation.
  • Service (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The specific service that you want recommendations for.

  • Filter (dict) --

    Use Expression to filter in various Cost Explorer APIs.

    Not all Expression types are supported in each API. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.

    There are two patterns:

    • Simple dimension values.
      • There are three types of simple dimension values: CostCategories , Tags , and Dimensions .
        • Specify the CostCategories field to define a filter that acts on Cost Categories.
        • Specify the Tags field to define a filter that acts on Cost Allocation Tags.
        • Specify the Dimensions field to define a filter that acts on the DimensionValues.
      • For each filter type, 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 . For GetRightsizingRecommendation , the Region is a full name (for example, REGION==US East (N. Virginia) .
        • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } }
        • As shown in the previous example, lists of dimension values are combined with OR when applying the filter.
      • You can also set different match options to further control how the filter behaves. Not all APIs support match options. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.
        • For example, you can filter for linked account names that start with “a”.
        • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME", "MatchOptions": [ "STARTS_WITH" ], "Values": [ "a" ] } }
    • Compound Expression types 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. By doing this, you can filter by more advanced options.
      • For example, you can filter by ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) .
      • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

    Note

    Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error: { "And": [ ... ], "Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

    The following is an example of the corresponding error message: "Expression has more than one roots. Only one root operator is allowed for each expression: And, Or, Not, Dimensions, Tags, CostCategories"

    Note

    For the GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT isn't supported. OR isn't supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

    For the GetReservationPurchaseRecommendation action, only NOT is supported. AND and OR aren't supported. Dimensions are limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT .

    • Or (list) --

      Return results that match either Dimension object.

      • (dict) --

            • Specify the Tags field to define a filter that acts on Cost Allocation Tags.
            • Specify the Dimensions field to define a filter that acts on the DimensionValues.
          • For each filter type, 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 . For GetRightsizingRecommendation , the Region is a full name (for example, REGION==US East (N. Virginia) .
            • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } }
            • As shown in the previous example, lists of dimension values are combined with OR when applying the filter.
          • You can also set different match options to further control how the filter behaves. Not all APIs support match options. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.
            • For example, you can filter for linked account names that start with “a”.
            • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME", "MatchOptions": [ "STARTS_WITH" ], "Values": [ "a" ] } }
        • Compound Expression types 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. By doing this, you can filter by more advanced options.
          • For example, you can filter by ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) .
          • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

        Note

        Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error: { "And": [ ... ], "Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

        The following is an example of the corresponding error message: "Expression has more than one roots. Only one root operator is allowed for each expression: And, Or, Not, Dimensions, Tags, CostCategories"

        Note

        For the GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT isn't supported. OR isn't supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

        For the GetReservationPurchaseRecommendation action, only NOT is supported. AND and OR aren't supported. Dimensions are limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT .

    • And (list) --

      Return results that match both Dimension objects.

      • (dict) --

        Use Expression to filter in various Cost Explorer APIs.

        Not all Expression types are supported in each API. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.

        There are two patterns:

        • Simple dimension values.
          • There are three types of simple dimension values: CostCategories , Tags , and Dimensions .
            • Specify the CostCategories field to define a filter that acts on Cost Categories.
            • Specify the Tags field to define a filter that acts on Cost Allocation Tags.
            • Specify the Dimensions field to define a filter that acts on the DimensionValues.
          • For each filter type, 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 . For GetRightsizingRecommendation , the Region is a full name (for example, REGION==US East (N. Virginia) .
            • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } }

          • You can use multiple Expression types and the logical operators AND/OR/NOT to create a list of one or more Expression objects. By doing this, you can filter by more advanced options.
          • For example, you can filter by ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) .
          • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

Parameters
  • TimePeriod (dict) --

    [REQUIRED]

    Sets the start and end dates for retrieving Reserved Instance (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. The start date is inclusive. For example, if start is 2017-01-01 , Amazon Web Services 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 (string) -- [REQUIRED]

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

  • GroupBy (list) --

    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.

  • Granularity (string) --

    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.

  • Filter (dict) --

    Filters utilization data by dimensions. You can filter by the following dimensions:

    • AZ
    • CACHE_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 in various Cost Explorer APIs.

        Not all Expression types are supported in each API. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.

        There are two patterns:

        • Simple dimension values.
          • There are three types of simple dimension values: CostCategories , Tags , and Dimensions .
            • Specify the CostCategories field to define a filter that acts on Cost Categories.
            • Specify the Tags field to define a filter that acts on Cost Allocation Tags.
            • Specify the Dimensions field to define a filter that acts on the DimensionValues.
          • For each filter type, 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 . For GetRightsizingRecommendation , the Region is a full name (for example, REGION==US East (N. Virginia) .
            • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } }
            • As shown in the previous example, lists of dimension values are combined with OR when applying the filter.
          • You can also set different match options to further control how the filter behaves. Not all APIs support match options. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.
            • For example, you can filter for linked account names that start with “a”.
            • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME", "MatchOptions": [ "STARTS_WITH" ], "Values": [ "a" ] } }
        • Compound Expression types 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. By doing this, you can filter by more advanced options.
          • For example, you can filter by ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) .
          • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

        Note

        Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error: { "And": [ ... ], "Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

        The following is an example of the corresponding error message: "Expression has more than one roots. Only one root operator is allowed for each expression: And, Or, Not, Dimensions, Tags, CostCategories"

        Note

        For the GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT isn't supported. OR isn't supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

        For the GetReservationPurchaseRecommendation action, only NOT is supported. AND and OR aren't supported. Dimensions are limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT .

    • And (list) --

      Return results that match both Dimension objects.

      • (dict) --

        Use Expression to filter in various Cost Explorer APIs.

        Not all Expression types are supported in each API. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.

            • Specify the Tags field to define a filter that acts on Cost Allocation Tags.
            • Specify the Dimensions field to define a filter that acts on the DimensionValues.
          • For each filter type, you can set the dimension name and values for the filters that you plan to use.

          • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

Parameters
  • Filter (dict) --

    Use Expression to filter in various Cost Explorer APIs.

    Not all Expression types are supported in each API. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.

    There are two patterns:

    • Simple dimension values.
      • There are three types of simple dimension values: CostCategories , Tags , and Dimensions .
        • Specify the CostCategories field to define a filter that acts on Cost Categories.
        • Specify the Tags field to define a filter that acts on Cost Allocation Tags.
        • Specify the Dimensions field to define a filter that acts on the DimensionValues.
      • For each filter type, 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 . For GetRightsizingRecommendation , the Region is a full name (for example, REGION==US East (N. Virginia) .
        • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } }
        • As shown in the previous example, lists of dimension values are combined with OR when applying the filter.
      • You can also set different match options to further control how the filter behaves. Not all APIs support match options. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.
        • For example, you can filter for linked account names that start with “a”.
        • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME", "MatchOptions": [ "STARTS_WITH" ], "Values": [ "a" ] } }
    • Compound Expression types 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. By doing this, you can filter by more advanced options.
      • For example, you can filter by ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) .
      • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

    Note

    Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error: { "And": [ ... ], "Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

    The following is an example of the corresponding error message: "Expression has more than one roots. Only one root operator is allowed for each expression: And, Or, Not, Dimensions, Tags, CostCategories"

    Note

    For the GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT isn't supported. OR isn't supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

    For the GetReservationPurchaseRecommendation action, only NOT is supported. AND and OR aren't supported. Dimensions are limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT .

    • Or (list) --

      Return results that match either Dimension object.

      • (dict) --

get_savings_plans_coverage(**kwargs)

Retrieves the Savings Plans covered for your account. This enables you to see how much of your cost is covered by a Savings Plan. An organization’s management account can see the coverage of the associated member accounts. This supports dimensions, Cost Categories, and nested expressions. For any time period, you can filter data for Savings Plans usage with the following dimensions:

  • LINKED_ACCOUNT
  • REGION
  • SERVICE
  • INSTANCE_FAMILY

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

Parameters
  • TimePeriod (dict) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The time period that you want the usage and costs for. The Start date must be within 13 months. The End date must be after the Start date, and before the current date. Future dates can't be used as an End date.

    • Start (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      The beginning of the time period. The start date is inclusive. For example, if start is 2017-01-01 , Amazon Web Services 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 (string) -- [REQUIRED]

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

  • GroupBy (list) --

    You can group the data using the attributes INSTANCE_FAMILY , REGION , or SERVICE .

    • (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.

  • Granularity (string) --

    The granularity of the Amazon Web Services cost data for your Savings Plans. Granularity can't be set if GroupBy is set.

    The GetSavingsPlansCoverage operation supports only DAILY and MONTHLY granularities.

  • Filter (dict) --

    Filters Savings Plans coverage data by dimensions. You can filter data for Savings Plans usage with the following dimensions:

    • LINKED_ACCOUNT
    • REGION
    • SERVICE
    • INSTANCE_FAMILY
    GetSavingsPlansCoverage uses the same Expression object as the other operations, but only AND is supported among each dimension. If there are multiple values for a dimension, they are OR'd together.

    Cost category is also supported.

    • Or (list) --

      Return results that match either Dimension object.

      • (dict) --

        Use Expression to filter in various Cost Explorer APIs.

        Not all Expression types are supported in each API. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.

        There are two patterns:

        • Simple dimension values.
          • There are three types of simple dimension values: CostCategories , Tags , and Dimensions .
            • Specify the CostCategories field to define a filter that acts on Cost Categories.
            • Specify the Tags field to define a filter that acts on Cost Allocation Tags.
            • Specify the Dimensions field to define a filter that acts on the DimensionValues.
          • For each filter type, 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 . For GetRightsizingRecommendation , the Region is a full name (for example, REGION==US East (N. Virginia) .
            • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } }
            • As shown in the previous example, lists of dimension values are combined with OR when applying the filter.
          • You can also set different match options to further control how the filter behaves. Not all APIs support match options. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.
            • For example, you can filter for linked account names that start with “a”.
            • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME", "MatchOptions": [ "STARTS_WITH" ], "Values": [ "a" ] } }
        • Compound Expression types 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. By doing this, you can filter by more advanced options.
          • For example, you can filter by ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) .
          • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

        Note

        Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error: { "And": [ ... ], "Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

        The following is an example of the corresponding error message: "Expression has more than one roots. Only one root operator is allowed for each expression: And, Or, Not, Dimensions, Tags, CostCategories"

        Note

        For the GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT isn't supported. OR isn't supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

        For the GetReservationPurchaseRecommendation action, only NOT is supported. AND and OR aren't supported. Dimensions are limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT .

    • And (list) --

      Return results that match both Dimension objects.

      • (dict) --

        Use Expression to filter in various Cost Explorer APIs.

        Not all Expression types are supported in each API. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.

        There are two patterns:

        • Simple dimension values.
          • There are three types of simple dimension values: CostCategories , Tags , and Dimensions .
            • Specify the CostCategories field to define a filter that acts on Cost Categories.
            • Specify the Tags field to define a filter that acts on Cost Allocation Tags.
            • Specify the Dimensions field to define a filter that acts on the DimensionValues.
          • For each filter type, 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 . For GetRightsizingRecommendation , the Region is a full name (for example, REGION==US East (N. Virginia) .
            • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } }

          • For example, you can filter by ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) .
          • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

        Note

        Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error: { "And": [ ... ], "Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

        The following is an example of the corresponding error message: "Expression has more than one roots. Only one root operator is allowed for each expression: And, Or, Not, Dimensions, Tags, CostCategories"

Parameters
  • SavingsPlansType (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The Savings Plans recommendation type that's requested.

  • TermInYears (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The savings plan recommendation term that's used to generate these recommendations.

  • PaymentOption (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The payment option that's used to generate these recommendations.

  • AccountScope (string) -- The account scope that you want your recommendations for. Amazon Web Services calculates recommendations including the management account and member accounts if the value is set to PAYER . If the value is LINKED , recommendations are calculated for individual member accounts only.
  • NextPageToken (string) -- The token to retrieve the next set of results. Amazon Web Services provides the token when the response from a previous call has more results than the maximum page size.
  • PageSize (integer) -- The number of recommendations that you want returned in a single response object.
  • LookbackPeriodInDays (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The lookback period that's used to generate the recommendation.

  • Filter (dict) --

    You can filter your recommendations by Account ID with the LINKED_ACCOUNT dimension. To filter your recommendations by Account ID, specify Key as LINKED_ACCOUNT and Value as the comma-separated Acount ID(s) that you want to see Savings Plans purchase recommendations for.

    For GetSavingsPlansPurchaseRecommendation, the Filter doesn't include CostCategories or Tags . It only includes Dimensions . With Dimensions , Key must be LINKED_ACCOUNT and Value can be a single Account ID or multiple comma-separated Account IDs that you want to see Savings Plans Purchase Recommendations for. AND and OR operators are not supported.

    • Or (list) --

      Return results that match either Dimension object.

      • (dict) --

        Use Expression to filter in various Cost Explorer APIs.

        Not all Expression types are supported in each API. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.

        There are two patterns:

        • Simple dimension values.
          • There are three types of simple dimension values: CostCategories , Tags , and Dimensions .
            • Specify the CostCategories field to define a filter that acts on Cost Categories.
            • Specify the Tags field to define a filter that acts on Cost Allocation Tags.
            • Specify the Dimensions field to define a filter that acts on the DimensionValues.
          • For each filter type, 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 . For GetRightsizingRecommendation , the Region is a full name (for example, REGION==US East (N. Virginia) .
            • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } }
            • As shown in the previous example, lists of dimension values are combined with OR when applying the filter.
          • You can also set different match options to further control how the filter behaves. Not all APIs support match options. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.
            • For example, you can filter for linked account names that start with “a”.
            • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME", "MatchOptions": [ "STARTS_WITH" ], "Values": [ "a" ] } }
        • Compound Expression types 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. By doing this, you can filter by more advanced options.
          • For example, you can filter by ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) .
          • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

        Note

        Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error: { "And": [ ... ], "Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

        The following is an example of the corresponding error message: "Expression has more than one roots. Only one root operator is allowed for each expression: And, Or, Not, Dimensions, Tags, CostCategories"

        Note

        For the GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT isn't supported. OR isn't supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

        For the GetReservationPurchaseRecommendation action, only NOT is supported. AND and OR aren't supported. Dimensions are limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT .

    • And (list) --

      Return results that match both Dimension objects.

      • (dict) --

Parameters
  • TimePeriod (dict) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The time period that you want the usage and costs for. The Start date must be within 13 months. The End date must be after the Start date, and before the current date. Future dates can't be used as an End date.

    • Start (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      The beginning of the time period. The start date is inclusive. For example, if start is 2017-01-01 , Amazon Web Services 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 (string) -- [REQUIRED]

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

  • Granularity (string) --

    The granularity of the Amazon Web Services utillization data for your Savings Plans.

    The GetSavingsPlansUtilization operation supports only DAILY and MONTHLY granularities.

  • Filter (dict) --

    Filters Savings Plans utilization coverage data for active Savings Plans dimensions. You can filter data with the following dimensions:

    • LINKED_ACCOUNT
    • SAVINGS_PLAN_ARN
    • SAVINGS_PLANS_TYPE
    • REGION
    • PAYMENT_OPTION
    • INSTANCE_TYPE_FAMILY
    GetSavingsPlansUtilization uses the same Expression object as the other operations, but only AND is supported among each dimension.
    • Or (list) --

      Return results that match either Dimension object.

      • (dict) --

        Use Expression to filter in various Cost Explorer APIs.

        Not all Expression types are supported in each API. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.

        There are two patterns:

        • Simple dimension values.
          • There are three types of simple dimension values: CostCategories , Tags , and Dimensions .
            • Specify the CostCategories field to define a filter that acts on Cost Categories.
            • Specify the Tags field to define a filter that acts on Cost Allocation Tags.
            • Specify the Dimensions field to define a filter that acts on the DimensionValues.
          • For each filter type, 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 . For GetRightsizingRecommendation , the Region is a full name (for example, REGION==US East (N. Virginia) .
            • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } }
            • As shown in the previous example, lists of dimension values are combined with OR when applying the filter.
          • You can also set different match options to further control how the filter behaves. Not all APIs support match options. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.
            • For example, you can filter for linked account names that start with “a”.
            • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME", "MatchOptions": [ "STARTS_WITH" ], "Values": [ "a" ] } }
        • Compound Expression types 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. By doing this, you can filter by more advanced options.
          • For example, you can filter by ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) .
          • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

        Note

        Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error: { "And": [ ... ], "Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

        The following is an example of the corresponding error message: "Expression has more than one roots. Only one root operator is allowed for each expression: And, Or, Not, Dimensions, Tags, CostCategories"

        Note

        For the GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT isn't supported. OR isn't supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

        For the GetReservationPurchaseRecommendation action, only NOT is supported. AND and OR aren't supported. Dimensions are limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT .

    • And (list) --

      Return results that match both Dimension objects.

      • (dict) --

          • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

get_savings_plans_utilization_details(**kwargs)

Retrieves attribute data along with aggregate utilization and savings data for a given time period. This doesn't support granular or grouped data (daily/monthly) in response. You can't retrieve data by dates in a single response similar to GetSavingsPlanUtilization , but you have the option to make multiple calls to GetSavingsPlanUtilizationDetails by providing individual dates. You can use GetDimensionValues in SAVINGS_PLANS to determine the possible dimension values.

Note

GetSavingsPlanUtilizationDetails internally groups data by SavingsPlansArn .

    GetSavingsPlansUtilizationDetails uses the same Expression object as the other operations, but only AND is supported among each dimension.
    • Or (list) --

      Return results that match either Dimension object.

      • (dict) --

        Use Expression to filter in various Cost Explorer APIs.

        Not all Expression types are supported in each API. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.

        There are two patterns:

        • Simple dimension values.
          • There are three types of simple dimension values: CostCategories , Tags , and Dimensions .
            • Specify the CostCategories field to define a filter that acts on Cost Categories.
            • Specify the Tags field to define a filter that acts on Cost Allocation Tags.
            • Specify the Dimensions field to define a filter that acts on the DimensionValues.
          • For each filter type, 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 . For GetRightsizingRecommendation , the Region is a full name (for example, REGION==US East (N. Virginia) .
            • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } }
            • As shown in the previous example, lists of dimension values are combined with OR when applying the filter.
          • You can also set different match options to further control how the filter behaves. Not all APIs support match options. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.
            • For example, you can filter for linked account names that start with “a”.
            • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME", "MatchOptions": [ "STARTS_WITH" ], "Values": [ "a" ] } }
        • Compound Expression types 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. By doing this, you can filter by more advanced options.
          • For example, you can filter by ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) .
          • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

        Note

        Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error: { "And": [ ... ], "Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

        The following is an example of the corresponding error message: "Expression has more than one roots. Only one root operator is allowed for each expression: And, Or, Not, Dimensions, Tags, CostCategories"

        Note

        For the GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT isn't supported. OR isn't supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

        For the GetReservationPurchaseRecommendation action, only NOT is supported. AND and OR aren't supported. Dimensions are limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT .

    • And (list) --

      Return results that match both Dimension objects.

Parameters
  • SearchString (string) -- The value that you want to search for.
  • TimePeriod (dict) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The start and end dates for retrieving the dimension values. 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. The start date is inclusive. For example, if start is 2017-01-01 , Amazon Web Services 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 (string) -- [REQUIRED]

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

  • TagKey (string) -- The key of the tag that you want to return values for.
  • Filter (dict) --

    Use Expression to filter in various Cost Explorer APIs.

    Not all Expression types are supported in each API. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.

    There are two patterns:

    • Simple dimension values.
      • There are three types of simple dimension values: CostCategories , Tags , and Dimensions .
        • Specify the CostCategories field to define a filter that acts on Cost Categories.
        • Specify the Tags field to define a filter that acts on Cost Allocation Tags.
        • Specify the Dimensions field to define a filter that acts on the DimensionValues.
      • For each filter type, 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 . For GetRightsizingRecommendation , the Region is a full name (for example, REGION==US East (N. Virginia) .
        • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } }
        • As shown in the previous example, lists of dimension values are combined with OR when applying the filter.
      • You can also set different match options to further control how the filter behaves. Not all APIs support match options. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.
        • For example, you can filter for linked account names that start with “a”.
        • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME", "MatchOptions": [ "STARTS_WITH" ], "Values": [ "a" ] } }
    • Compound Expression types 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. By doing this, you can filter by more advanced options.
      • For example, you can filter by ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) .
      • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

    Note

    Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error: { "And": [ ... ], "Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

    The following is an example of the corresponding error message: "Expression has more than one roots. Only one root operator is allowed for each expression: And, Or, Not, Dimensions, Tags, CostCategories"

    Note

    For the GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT isn't supported. OR isn't supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

    For the GetReservationPurchaseRecommendation action, only NOT is supported. AND and OR aren't supported. Dimensions are limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT .

    • Or (list) --

      Return results that match either Dimension object.

        Use Expression to filter in various Cost Explorer APIs.

        Not all Expression types are supported in each API. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.

        There are two patterns:

        • Simple dimension values.
          • There are three types of simple dimension values: CostCategories , Tags , and Dimensions .
            • Specify the CostCategories field to define a filter that acts on Cost Categories.
            • Specify the Tags field to define a filter that acts on Cost Allocation Tags.
            • Specify the Dimensions field to define a filter that acts on the DimensionValues.
          • For each filter type, 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 . For GetRightsizingRecommendation , the Region is a full name (for example, REGION==US East (N. Virginia) .
            • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } }
            • As shown in the previous example, lists of dimension values are combined with OR when applying the filter.
          • You can also set different match options to further control how the filter behaves. Not all APIs support match options. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.
            • For example, you can filter for linked account names that start with “a”.
            • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME", "MatchOptions": [ "STARTS_WITH" ], "Values": [ "a" ] } }
        • Compound Expression types 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. By doing this, you can filter by more advanced options.
          • For example, you can filter by ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) .
          • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

        Note

        Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error: { "And": [ ... ], "Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

        The following is an example of the corresponding error message: "Expression has more than one roots. Only one root operator is allowed for each expression: And, Or, Not, Dimensions, Tags, CostCategories"

        Note

        For the GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT isn't supported. OR isn't supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

        For the GetReservationPurchaseRecommendation action, only NOT is supported. AND and OR aren't supported. Dimensions are limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT .

    • And (list) --

      Return results that match both Dimension objects.

Parameters
  • TimePeriod (dict) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The start and end dates of the period that you want to retrieve usage forecast for. The start date is included in the period, but the end date isn't included in the period. 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 . The start date must be equal to or later than the current date to avoid a validation error.

    • Start (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      The beginning of the time period. The start date is inclusive. For example, if start is 2017-01-01 , Amazon Web Services 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 (string) -- [REQUIRED]

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

    A cost anomaly subscription Amazon Resource Name (ARN).

  • Threshold (float) --

    (deprecated)

    The update to the threshold value for receiving notifications.

    This field has been deprecated. To update a threshold, use ThresholdExpression. Continued use of Threshold will be treated as shorthand syntax for a ThresholdExpression.

  • Frequency (string) -- The update to the frequency value that subscribers receive notifications.
  • MonitorArnList (list) --

    A list of cost anomaly monitor ARNs.

    • (string) --
  • Subscribers (list) --

    The update to the subscriber list.

    • (dict) --

      The recipient of AnomalySubscription notifications.

      • Address (string) --

        The email address or SNS Amazon Resource Name (ARN). This depends on the Type .

      • Type (string) --

        The notification delivery channel.

      • Status (string) --

        Indicates if the subscriber accepts the notifications.

  • SubscriptionName (string) -- The new name of the subscription.
  • ThresholdExpression (dict) --

    The update to the Expression object used to specify the anomalies that you want to generate alerts for. This supports dimensions and nested expressions. The supported dimensions are ANOMALY_TOTAL_IMPACT_ABSOLUTE and ANOMALY_TOTAL_IMPACT_PERCENTAGE . The supported nested expression types are AND and OR . The match option GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL is required. Values must be numbers between 0 and 10,000,000,000.

    The following are examples of valid ThresholdExpressions:

    • Absolute threshold: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "ANOMALY_TOTAL_IMPACT_ABSOLUTE", "MatchOptions": [ "GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL" ], "Values": [ "100" ] } }
    • Percentage threshold: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "ANOMALY_TOTAL_IMPACT_PERCENTAGE", "MatchOptions": [ "GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL" ], "Values": [ "100" ] } }
    • AND two thresholds together: { "And": [ { "Dimensions": { "Key": "ANOMALY_TOTAL_IMPACT_ABSOLUTE", "MatchOptions": [ "GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL" ], "Values": [ "100" ] } }, { "Dimensions": { "Key": "ANOMALY_TOTAL_IMPACT_PERCENTAGE", "MatchOptions": [ "GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL" ], "Values": [ "100" ] } } ] }
    • OR two thresholds together: { "Or": [ { "Dimensions": { "Key": "ANOMALY_TOTAL_IMPACT_ABSOLUTE", "MatchOptions": [ "GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL" ], "Values": [ "100" ] } }, { "Dimensions": { "Key": "ANOMALY_TOTAL_IMPACT_PERCENTAGE", "MatchOptions": [ "GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL" ], "Values": [ "100" ] } } ] }
    • Or (list) --

      Return results that match either Dimension object.

      • (dict) --

        Use Expression to filter in various Cost Explorer APIs.

        Not all Expression types are supported in each API. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.

        There are two patterns:

        • Simple dimension values.
          • There are three types of simple dimension values: CostCategories , Tags , and Dimensions .
            • Specify the CostCategories field to define a filter that acts on Cost Categories.
            • Specify the Tags field to define a filter that acts on Cost Allocation Tags.
            • Specify the Dimensions field to define a filter that acts on the DimensionValues.
          • For each filter type, 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 . For GetRightsizingRecommendation , the Region is a full name (for example, REGION==US East (N. Virginia) .
            • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } }
            • As shown in the previous example, lists of dimension values are combined with OR when applying the filter.
          • You can also set different match options to further control how the filter behaves. Not all APIs support match options. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.
            • For example, you can filter for linked account names that start with “a”.
            • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME", "MatchOptions": [ "STARTS_WITH" ], "Values": [ "a" ] } }
        • Compound Expression types 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. By doing this, you can filter by more advanced options.
          • For example, you can filter by ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) .
          • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

        Note

        Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error: { "And": [ ... ], "Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

        The following is an example of the corresponding error message: "Expression has more than one roots. Only one root operator is allowed for each expression: And, Or, Not, Dimensions, Tags, CostCategories"

        Note

        For the GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT isn't supported. OR isn't supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

        For the GetReservationPurchaseRecommendation action, only NOT is supported. AND and OR aren't supported. Dimensions are limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT .

    • And (list) --

      Return results that match both Dimension objects.

      • (dict) --

        Use Expression to filter in various Cost Explorer APIs.

        Not all Expression types are supported in each API. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.

        There are two patterns:

        • Simple dimension values.
          • There are three types of simple dimension values: CostCategories , Tags , and Dimensions .
            • Specify the CostCategories field to define a filter that acts on Cost Categories.
            • Specify the Tags field to define a filter that acts on Cost Allocation Tags.
            • Specify the Dimensions field to define a filter that acts on the DimensionValues.
          • For each filter type, 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 . For GetRightsizingRecommendation , the Region is a full name (for example, REGION==US East (N. Virginia) .

          • You can use multiple Expression types and the logical operators AND/OR/NOT to create a list of one or more Expression objects. By doing this, you can filter by more advanced options.
          • For example, you can filter by ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) .
          • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

Parameters
  • CostCategoryArn (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The unique identifier for your Cost Category.

  • EffectiveStart (string) -- The Cost Category's effective start date. It can only be a billing start date (first day of the month). If the date isn't provided, it's the first day of the current month. Dates can't be before the previous twelve months, or in the future.
  • RuleVersion (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The rule schema version in this particular Cost Category.

  • Rules (list) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The Expression object used to categorize costs. For more information, see CostCategoryRule.

    • (dict) --

      Rules are processed in order. If there are multiple rules that match the line item, then the first rule to match is used to determine that Cost Category value.

      • Value (string) --

        The default value for the cost category.

      • Rule (dict) --

        An Expression object used to categorize costs. This supports dimensions, tags, and nested expressions. Currently the only dimensions supported are LINKED_ACCOUNT , SERVICE_CODE , RECORD_TYPE , and LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME .

        Root level OR isn't supported. We recommend that you create a separate rule instead.

        RECORD_TYPE is a dimension used for Cost Explorer APIs, and is also supported for Cost Category expressions. This dimension uses different terms, depending on whether you're using the console or API/JSON editor. For a detailed comparison, see Term Comparisons in the Billing and Cost Management User Guide .
        • Or (list) --

          Return results that match either Dimension object.

          • (dict) --

            Use Expression to filter in various Cost Explorer APIs.

          • MatchOptions (list) --

            The match options that you can use to filter your results.

            MatchOptions is only applicable for actions related to Cost Category and Anomaly Subscriptions. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.

            The default values for MatchOptions are EQUALS and CASE_SENSITIVE .

            • (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) --
          • MatchOptions (list) --

            The match options that you can use to filter your results. MatchOptions is only applicable for actions related to Cost Category. The default values for MatchOptions are EQUALS and CASE_SENSITIVE .

            • (string) --
        • CostCategories (dict) --

          The filter that's based on CostCategory values.

          • Key (string) --

            The unique name of the Cost Category.

          • Values (list) --

            The specific value of the Cost Category.

            • (string) --
          • MatchOptions (list) --

            The match options that you can use to filter your results. MatchOptions is only applicable for actions related to cost category. The default values for MatchOptions is EQUALS and CASE_SENSITIVE .

            • (string) --
      • InheritedValue (dict) --

        The value the line item is categorized as if the line item contains the matched dimension.

        • DimensionName (string) --

          The name of the dimension that's used to group costs.

          If you specify LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME , the cost category value is based on account name. If you specify TAG , the cost category value is based on the value of the specified tag key.

        • DimensionKey (string) --

          The key to extract cost category values.

      • Type (string) --

        You can define the CostCategoryRule rule type as either REGULAR or INHERITED_VALUE . The INHERITED_VALUE rule type adds the flexibility to define a rule that dynamically inherits the cost category value. This value is from the dimension value that's defined by CostCategoryInheritedValueDimension . For example, suppose that you want to costs to be dynamically grouped based on the value of a specific tag key. First, choose an inherited value rule type, and then choose the tag dimension and specify the tag key to use.

  • DefaultValue (string) -- The default value for the cost category.
  • SplitChargeRules (list) --

    The split charge rules used to allocate your charges between your Cost Category values.

    • (dict) --

      Use the split charge rule to split the cost of one Cost Category value across several other target values.

      • Source (string) -- [REQUIRED]

        The Cost Category value that you want to split. That value can't be used as a source or a target in other split charge rules. To indicate uncategorized costs, you can use an empty string as the source.

      • Targets (list) -- [REQUIRED]

        The Cost Category values that you want to split costs across. These values can't be used as a source in other split charge rules.

        • (string) --
      • Method (string) -- [REQUIRED]

        The method that's used to define how to split your source costs across your targets.

        Proportional - Allocates charges across your targets based on the proportional weighted cost of each target.

        Fixed - Allocates charges across your targets based on your defined allocation percentage.

        > Even - Allocates costs evenly across all targets.

      • Parameters (list) --

        The parameters for a split charge method. This is only required for the FIXED method.

        • (dict) --

          The parameters for a split charge method.

          • Type (string) -- [REQUIRED]

            The parameter type.

          • Values (list) -- [REQUIRED]

            The parameter values.

            • (string) --
