Aws billing information using aws java sdk

Question

I am trying to get payment information from aws for instances of ec2, s3 codes and ebs volumes using java api. I want to create an api that gives specific hourly, hourly billing reports. Is there a java api to get the same? I could not find the same in aws java sdk api documentation.

Answer 1

There are no APIs for receiving AWS billing information. Instead, you can:

• Include a detailed billing report (from the control panel)
• Configure which billing reports you need.
• AWS will begin to push billing information as CSV files into a (pre) configured bucket several times per hour
• Use the REST API or S3 Java API to get information from the bucket, if necessary.

In addition to @helloV's answer, if you want to view your AWS Billings in days / hours or even minutes. You can use the aws-elk-billing tool. The migration request is currently awaiting merge with the main repository . It uses the ELK stack to visualize the AWS expense and usage report.

(Although it can still work with the detailed AWS billing report, which contains additional columns along with all the columns from the AWS Cost and Usage Report).

According to AWS official documentation, there is no API function that allows you to get actual data on the use of billing. Instead, you can get the expected billing data as:

To get started, all you have to do is provide an Amazon S3 bucket for your billing information, grant AWS billing system permission to record it, and go to the billing settings page to provide programmatic access:

As soon as you do this, we will generate an evaluation account several times a day and store it in a bucket, where you can load and process it as you wish. We will also create a final invoice at the end of each billing period.

Billing reports are generated as CSV files and contain many details:

Here is a list of fields (read the documentation for more information):

• Account id
• Payer Account Name and ID
• Associated account name and identifier (for consolidated billing)
• Record type
• Record id
• The start and end dates of the payment period
• Billing Date
• Tax address
• Payer order number
• product code
• The product's name
• Record seller
• Type of use
• Operation
• Speed ​​id
• Item Description
• Start of use and use End date and time
• Usage Amount
• Mixed rate (for consolidated billing)
• Currency code
• Cost before tax
• Loans
• Tax amount
• Tax type
• total cost

Updating the answer as it is no longer correct. AWS has released the CostExplorer API for the Java SDK. You can find the documentation here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaSDK/latest/javadoc/index.html

public GetCostAndUsageResult getCostAndUsage(GetCostAndUsageRequest request) 

Retrieves cost and usage metrics for your account. You can specify the cost and usage-related metrics, such as BlendedCosts or UsageQuantity, that you want the request to be returned. You can also filter and group data by various parameters, such as SERVICE or AZ, in a certain time interval. For a complete list of valid dimensions, see the GetDimensionValues ​​operation. Primary organization accounts in AWS organizations have access to all member accounts.
