Request Parameters

For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters.

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

Filter

Use Expression to filter by cost or by usage. There are two patterns:

Simple dimension values - 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 Expression example is as follows:

{ "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } }

The list of dimension values are OR'd together to retrieve cost or usage data. You can create Expression and DimensionValues objects using either with* methods or set* methods in multiple lines.
Compound dimension values 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 on more advanced options. For example, you can filter on ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer). The Expression for that 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": [ ... ], "DimensionValues": { "Dimension": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

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.

Type: Expression object

Required: No

MaxResults

This field is only used when SortBy is provided in the request. The maximum number of objects that to be returned for this request. If MaxResults is not specified with SortBy, the request will return 1000 results as the default value for this parameter.

For GetTags, MaxResults has an upper limit of 1000.

Type: Integer

Valid Range: Minimum value of 1.

Required: No

NextPageToken

The token to retrieve the next set of results. AWS provides the token when the response from a previous call has more results than the maximum page size.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 0. Maximum length of 8192.

Pattern: [\S\s]*

Required: No

SearchString

The value that you want to search for.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 0. Maximum length of 1024.

Pattern: [\S\s]*

Required: No

SortBy

The value by which you want to sort the data.

The key represents cost and usage metrics. The following values are supported:

BlendedCost
UnblendedCost
AmortizedCost
NetAmortizedCost
NetUnblendedCost
UsageQuantity
NormalizedUsageAmount

Supported values for SortOrder are ASCENDING or DESCENDING.

When using SortBy, NextPageToken and SearchString are not supported.

Type: Array of SortDefinition objects

Required: No

TagKey

The key of the tag that you want to return values for.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 0. Maximum length of 1024.

Pattern: [\S\s]*

Required: No

TimePeriod

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.

Type: DateInterval object

Required: Yes

Pattern: [\S\s]*

ReturnSize

The number of query results that AWS returns at a time.

The tags that match your request.

Type: Array of strings

TotalSize

The total number of query results.

Type: Integer
