<p>The Amazon Web Services Price List API is a centralized and convenient way to programmatically query Amazon Web Services for services, products, and pricing information. The Amazon Web Services Price List uses standardized product attributes such as <code>Location</code>, <code>Storage Class</code>, and <code>Operating System</code>, and provides prices at the SKU level. You can use the Amazon Web Services Price List to do the following:</p> <ul> <li> <p>Build cost control and scenario planning tools</p> </li> <li> <p>Reconcile billing data</p> </li> <li> <p>Forecast future spend for budgeting purposes</p> </li> <li> <p>Provide cost benefit analysis that compare your internal workloads with Amazon Web Services</p> </li> </ul> <p>Use <code>GetServices</code> without a service code to retrieve the service codes for all Amazon Web Services, then <code>GetServices</code> with a service code to retrieve the attribute names for that service. After you have the service code and attribute names, you can use <code>GetAttributeValues</code> to see what values are available for an attribute. With the service code and an attribute name and value, you can use <code>GetProducts</code> to find specific products that you're interested in, such as an <code>AmazonEC2</code> instance, with a <code>Provisioned IOPS</code> <code>volumeType</code>.</p> <p>You can use the following endpoints for the Amazon Web Services Price List API:</p> <ul> <li> <p>https://api.pricing.us-east-1.amazonaws.com</p> </li> <li> <p>https://api.pricing.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com</p> </li> </ul>
