(**kwargs)¶Retrieves an array of Cost Category names and values incurred cost.
Note
If some Cost Category names and values are not associated with any cost, they will not be returned by this API.

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.
[REQUIRED]
The time period of the request.
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.
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
.
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:
CostCategories
, Tags
, and Dimensions
.CostCategories
field to define a filter that acts on Cost Categories.Tags
field to define a filter that acts on Cost Allocation Tags.Dimensions
field to define a filter that acts on the DimensionValues.REGION==us-east-1 OR REGION==us-west-1
. For GetRightsizingRecommendation
, the Region is a full name (for example, REGION==US East (N. Virginia)
.Expression
for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } }
OR
when applying the filter.Expression
for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME", "MatchOptions": [ "STARTS_WITH" ], "Values": [ "a" ] } }
Expression
types with logical operations.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.((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer)
.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
.
Return results that match either Dimension
object.
