        <h2 id="price-list-overview">Overview</h2>
    
    <div class="variablelist">
        <p>To help you use the AWS Price List, the following are its key concepts:</p>
         
         
         
    <dl>
            <dt><b><span class="term">Service</span></b></dt>
            <dd>
                <p>An AWS service, such as <code class="code">Amazon EC2</code> or Savings Plans, for example: a Savings Plan for
                    Amazon EC2 is <code class="code">AWSComputeSavingsPlan</code> or a service representing limited AWS Marketplace offerings,
                    for example: <code class="code">AmazonBedrockFoundationModels</code>.</p>
            </dd>
        
            <dt><b><span class="term">Product</span></b></dt>
            <dd>
                <p>An entity sold by an AWS service. In the price list file, products are indexed by a
                    unique stock keeping unit (SKU).</p>
            </dd>
        
            <dt><b><span class="term">Attribute</span></b></dt>
            <dd>
                <p>The property associated with a product. This property consists of
                        <code class="code">AttributeName</code> and <code class="code">AttributeValue</code>. Products can
                    have multiple attributes. Each attribute has one <code class="code">AttributeName</code> and
                    a list of applicable <code class="code">AttributeValues</code>.</p>
            </dd>
        </dl></div>
    <p>You can use the following AWS Price List APIs:</p>
    <div class="variablelist">
         
         
    <dl>
            <dt><b><span class="term"><a href="./using-price-list-query-api.html">AWS Price List Query API</a></span></b></dt>
            <dd>
                <p>This API provides a centralized and convenient way to programmatically query
                    AWS for services, products, and pricing information.</p>
                <p>The Price List Query API uses product attributes and provides prices at the SKU
                    level. Use this API to build cost control and scenario planning tools, reconcile
                    billing data, forecast future spend for budgeting purposes, and provide cost
                    benefit analyses that compare your internal workloads with AWS. </p>

            </dd>
        
            <dt><b><span class="term"><a href="./using-the-aws-price-list-bulk-api.html">AWS Price List Bulk API</a></span></b></dt>
            <dd>
                <p>This API provides a way to programmatically fetch up-to-date pricing
                    information on current AWS services and products in bulk by using the price list files.
                    The price list files are available in JSON and CSV formats. The price list files are organized by
                    AWS service and AWS Region.</p>
            </dd>
        </dl></div>
    <div class="awsdocs-note"><div class="awsdocs-note-title"><awsui-icon name="status-info" variant="link"></awsui-icon><h6>Note</h6></div><div class="awsdocs-note-text"><p>The Price List Query API and Price List Bulk API provide pricing details for informational
            purposes only. If there's a difference between the price list file and a service pricing page,
            AWS charges the prices on the <em>service pricing page</em>.</p><p>For more information about AWS service pricing, see <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/pricing/services/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>AWS Pricing</span><awsui-icon class="awsdocs-link-icon" name="external"></awsui-icon></a>.</p></div></div>
    <p>To call the AWS Price List APIs, we recommend that you use an AWS SDK that supports your
        preferred programming language. AWS SDKs save you time and simplify the process of signing
        requests. You can also integrate the AWS SDKs with your development environment and access
        the related commands.</p>
        <h2 id="price-list-gettingstarted">Getting started with AWS Price List</h2>
         
            <h3 id="iam-permissions-for-price-list-query-api">IAM permissions</h3>
            <p>An AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) identity, such as a user or role, must have permission to use the
                Price List Query API or Price List Bulk API. To grant access, see <a href="./billing-example-policies.html#example-policy-pe-api">Find products and prices</a>.</p>
         
         
            <h3 id="price-list-query-api-endpoints">Endpoints</h3>
            <p>The Price List Query API and Price List Bulk API provides the following endpoints:</p>
            <div class="itemizedlist">
