# DescribeSpotPriceHistory Describes the Spot price history. For more information, see [Spot Instance pricing history](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/using-spot-instances-history.html) in the *Amazon EC2 User Guide*. When you specify a start and end time, the operation returns the prices of the instance types within that time range. It also returns the last price change before the start time, which is the effective price as of the start time. ## Request Parameters The following parameters are for this specific action. For more information about required and optional parameters that are common to all actions, see [Common Query Parameters](CommonParameters.md). **AvailabilityZone** Filters the results by the specified Availability Zone. Either `AvailabilityZone` or `AvailabilityZoneId` can be specified, but not both Type: String Required: No **AvailabilityZoneId** Filters the results by the specified ID of the Availability Zone. Either `AvailabilityZone` or `AvailabilityZoneId` can be specified, but not both Type: String Required: No **DryRun** Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is `DryRunOperation`. Otherwise, it is `UnauthorizedOperation`. Type: Boolean Required: No **EndTime** The date and time, up to the current date, from which to stop retrieving the price history data, in UTC format (for example, *YYYY*-*MM*-*DD*T*HH*:*MM*:*SS*Z). Type: Timestamp Required: No **Filter.N** The filters. + `availability-zone` - The Availability Zone for which prices should be returned. + `availability-zone-id` - The ID of the Availability Zone for which prices should be returned. + `instance-type` - The type of instance (for example, `m3.medium`). + `product-description` - The product description for the Spot price (`Linux/UNIX` \$1 `Red Hat Enterprise Linux` \$1 `SUSE Linux` \$1 `Windows` \$1 `Linux/UNIX (Amazon VPC)` \$1 `Red Hat Enterprise Linux (Amazon VPC)` \$1 `SUSE Linux (Amazon VPC)` \$1 `Windows (Amazon VPC)`). + `spot-price` - The Spot price. The value must match exactly (or use wildcards; greater than or less than comparison is not supported). + `timestamp` - The time stamp of the Spot price history, in UTC format (for example, *ddd MMM dd HH*:*mm*:*ss* UTC *YYYY*). You can use wildcards (`*` and `?`). Greater than or less than comparison is not supported. Type: Array of [Filter](API_Filter.md) objects Required: No **InstanceType.N** Filters the results by the specified instance types.
