Description

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

This cmdlet automatically pages all available results to the pipeline - parameters related to iteration are only needed if you want to manually control the paginated output. To disable autopagination, use -NoAutoIteration.

Parameters

-BillingViewArn <String>
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that uniquely identifies a specific billing view. The ARN is used to specify which particular billing view you want to interact with or retrieve information from when making API calls related to Amazon Web Services Billing and Cost Management features.

-MaxResult <Int32>
This field is only used when the SortBy value is provided in the request.The maximum number of objects that are returned for this request. If MaxResults isn't specified with the SortBy value, the request returns 1000 results as the default value for this parameter.For GetCostCategories, MaxResults has an upper quota of 1000.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesMaxResults
-NextPageToken <String>
If the number of objects that are still available for retrieval exceeds the quota, Amazon Web Services returns a NextPageToken value in the response. To retrieve the next batch of objects, provide the NextPageToken from the previous call in your next request.
Note: This parameter is only used if you are manually controlling output pagination of the service API call.
'NextPageToken' is only returned by the cmdlet when '-Select *' is specified. In order to manually control output pagination, set '-NextPageToken' to null for the first call then set the 'NextPageToken' using the same property output from the previous call for subsequent calls.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesNextToken
-NoAutoIteration <SwitchParameter>
By default the cmdlet will auto-iterate and retrieve all results to the pipeline by performing multiple service calls. If set, the cmdlet will retrieve only the next 'page' of results using the value of NextPageToken as the start point.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-PassThru <SwitchParameter>
Changes the cmdlet behavior to return the value passed to the TimePeriod parameter. The -PassThru parameter is deprecated, use -Select '^TimePeriod' instead. This parameter will be removed in a future version.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-SearchString <String>
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?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Select <String>
Use the -Select parameter to control the cmdlet output. The default value is '*'. Specifying -Select '*' will result in the cmdlet returning the whole service response (Amazon.CostExplorer.Model.GetCostCategoriesResponse). Specifying the name of a property of type Amazon.CostExplorer.Model.GetCostCategoriesResponse will result in that property being returned. Specifying -Select '^ParameterName' will result in the cmdlet returning the selected cmdlet parameter value.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-SortBy <SortDefinition[]>

  • AmortizedCost
  • NetAmortizedCost
  • NetUnblendedCost
  • UsageQuantity
