AWS SDK for PHP 3.x

Client: Aws\CostExplorer\CostExplorerClient

Service ID: ce

Version: 2017-10-25

This page describes the parameters and results for the operations of the AWS Cost Explorer Service (2017-10-25), and shows how to use the Aws\CostExplorer\CostExplorerClient object to call the described operations. This documentation is specific to the 2017-10-25 API version of the service.

Operation Summary

Each of the following operations can be created from a client using $client->getCommand('CommandName'), where "CommandName" is the name of one of the following operations. Note: a command is a value that encapsulates an operation and the parameters used to create an HTTP request.

You can also create and send a command immediately using the magic methods available on a client object: $client->commandName(/* parameters */). You can send the command asynchronously (returning a promise) by appending the word "Async" to the operation name: $client->commandNameAsync(/* parameters */).

GetCostAndUsage ( array $params = [] )
Retrieves cost and usage metrics for your account.
GetCostForecast ( array $params = [] )
Retrieves a forecast for how much Amazon Web Services predicts that you will spend over the forecast time period that you select, based on your past costs.
GetDimensionValues ( array $params = [] )
Retrieves all available filter values for a specified filter over a period of time.
GetReservationCoverage ( array $params = [] )
Retrieves the reservation coverage for your account.
GetReservationPurchaseRecommendation ( array $params = [] )
Gets recommendations for which reservations to purchase.
GetReservationUtilization ( array $params = [] )
Retrieves the reservation utilization for your account.
GetTags ( array $params = [] )
Queries for available tag keys and tag values for a specified period.

Operations

GetCostAndUsage

$result = $client->getCostAndUsage([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->getCostAndUsageAsync([/* ... */]);

Retrieves cost and usage metrics for your account. You can specify which cost and usage-related metric, such as BlendedCosts or UsageQuantity, that you want the request to return. You can also filter and group your data by various dimensions, such as SERVICE or AZ, in a specific time range. For a complete list of valid dimensions, see the GetDimensionValues operation. Master accounts in an organization in AWS Organizations have access to all member accounts.

Members

Filter

Type: Expression structure

Filters AWS 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.

Granularity

Type: string

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

The GetCostAndUsageRequest operation supports only DAILY and MONTHLY granularities.

GroupBy

Type: Array of GroupDefinition structures

You can group AWS costs using up to two different groups, either dimensions, tag keys, or both.

When you group by tag key, you get all tag values, including empty strings.

Valid values are AZ, INSTANCE_TYPE, LEGAL_ENTITY_NAME, LINKED_ACCOUNT, OPERATION, PLATFORM, PURCHASE_TYPE, SERVICE, TAGS, TENANCY, and USAGE_TYPE.

Metrics

Type: Array of strings

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.

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 vs. GB). To get more meaningful UsageQuantity metrics, filter by UsageType or UsageTypeGroups.

Metrics is required for GetCostAndUsage requests.

NextPageToken

Type: string

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.

TimePeriod

Required: Yes
Type: DateInterval structure

Sets the start and end dates for retrieving AWS 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.

GetReservationPurchaseRecommendation

$result = $client->getReservationPurchaseRecommendation([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->getReservationPurchaseRecommendationAsync([/* ... */]);

Gets recommendations for which reservations to purchase. These recommendations could help you reduce your costs. Reservations provide a discounted hourly rate (up to 75%) compared to On-Demand pricing.

AWS 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 AWS has these categories, it simulates every combination of reservations in each category of usage to identify the best number of each type of RI to purchase to maximize your estimated savings.

For example, AWS 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. AWS recommends the smallest size instance in an instance family. This makes it easier to purchase a size-flexible RI. AWS also shows the equal number of normalized units so that you can purchase any instance size that you want. For this example, your RI recommendation would be for c4.large because that is the smallest size instance in the c4 instance family.

Filter

Type: Expression structure

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
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.

Granularity

Type: 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.

GroupBy

Type: Array of GroupDefinition structures

Groups only by SUBSCRIPTION_ID. Metadata is included.

NextPageToken

Type: string

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.

TimePeriod

Required: Yes
Type: DateInterval structure

Sets the start and end dates for retrieving 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.

CoverageNormalizedUnits

Description

The amount of instance usage, in normalized units. Normalized units enable you to see your EC2 usage for multiple sizes of instances in a uniform way. For example, suppose you run an xlarge instance and a 2xlarge instance. If you run both instances for the same amount of time, the 2xlarge instance uses twice as much of your reservation as the xlarge instance, even though both instances show only one instance-hour. Using normalized units instead of instance-hours, the xlarge instance used 8 normalized units, and the 2xlarge instance used 16 normalized units.

For more information, see Modifying Reserved Instances in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide for Linux Instances.

Expression

Description

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 INSTANCE_TYPE==m4.xlarge OR INSTANCE_TYPE==c4.large. The Expression for that looks like this:

{ "Dimensions": { "Key": "INSTANCE_TYPE", "Values": [ "m4.xlarge", “c4.large” ] } }

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. This allows you to filter on more advanced options. For example, you can filter on ((INSTANCE_TYPE == m4.large OR INSTANCE_TYPE == m3.large) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer). The Expression for that looks like this:

{ "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "INSTANCE_TYPE", "Values": [ "m4.x.large", "c4.large" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

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" ] } }
