BatchMeterUsage
is called from a SaaS application listed on AWS Marketplace to post metering records for a set of customers.
For identical requests, the API is idempotent; requests can be retried with the same records or a subset of the input records.
Every request to BatchMeterUsage
is for one product. If you need to meter usage for multiple products, you must make multiple calls to BatchMeterUsage
.
Usage records are expected to be submitted as quickly as possible after the event that is being recorded, and are not accepted more than 6 hours after the event.
BatchMeterUsage
can process up to 25UsageRecords
at a time.
A UsageRecord
can optionally include multiple usage allocations, to provide customers with usage data split into buckets by tags that you define (or allow the customer to define).
BatchMeterUsage
returns a list ofUsageRecordResult
objects, showing the result for eachUsageRecord
, as well as a list ofUnprocessedRecords
, indicating errors in the service side that you should retry.
BatchMeterUsage
requests must be less than 1MB in size.

(list)
The set of
UsageRecords
to submit.BatchMeterUsage
accepts up to 25UsageRecords
at a time.(structure)
A
UsageRecord
indicates a quantity of usage for a given product, customer, dimension and time.Multiple requests with the same
UsageRecords
as input will be de-duplicated to prevent double charges.Timestamp -> (timestamp)
Timestamp, in UTC, for which the usage is being reported.
Your application can meter usage for up to one hour in the past. Make sure the
timestamp
value is not before the start of the software usage.CustomerIdentifier -> (string)
TheCustomerIdentifier
is obtained through theResolveCustomer
operation and represents an individual buyer in your application.Dimension -> (string)
During the process of registering a product on AWS Marketplace, dimensions are specified. These represent different units of value in your application.Quantity -> (integer)
The quantity of usage consumed by the customer for the given dimension and time. Defaults to0
if not specified.UsageAllocations -> (list)
The set of
UsageAllocations
to submit. The sum of allUsageAllocation
quantities must equal the Quantity of theUsageRecord
.(structure)
Usage allocations allow you to split usage into buckets by tags.
Each
UsageAllocation
indicates the usage quantity for a specific set of tags.AllocatedUsageQuantity -> (integer)
The total quantity allocated to this bucket of usage.Tags -> (list)
The set of tags that define the bucket of usage. For the bucket of items with no tags, this parameter can be left out.
(structure)
Metadata assigned to an allocation. Each tag is made up of a
key
and avalue
.Key -> (string)
One part of a key-value pair that makes up atag
. Akey
is a label that acts like a category for the specific tag values.Value -> (string)
One part of a key-value pair that makes up atag

--product-code
(string)
Product code is used to uniquely identify a product in AWS Marketplace. The product code should be the same as the one used during the publishing of a new product.
--cli-input-json
(string)
Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton
. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.
--generate-cli-skeleton
(string)
Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input
, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json
. If provided with the value output
, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.
--debug
(boolean)
Turn on debug logging.
--endpoint-url
(string)
Override command's default URL with the given URL.
--no-verify-ssl
(boolean)
By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.
--no-paginate
(boolean)
Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.
--output
(string)
The formatting style for command output.
--query
(string)
A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.
--profile
(string)
Use a specific profile from your credential file.
--region
(string)
The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.
--version
(string)
Display the version of this tool.
--color

Turn on/off color output.
--no-sign-request
(boolean)
Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.
--ca-bundle
(string)
The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.
--cli-read-timeout
(int)
The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.
--cli-connect-timeout
(int)
The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.
