Calling AWS services and prices using the AWS Price List
To provide feedback about AWS Price List, complete this
short survey
. Your responses will be anonymous.
Note:
This survey is in English only.
AWS Price List provides a catalog of the products and prices for AWS services that you can purchase on AWS.
This catalog includes perpetual free offers from AWS Free Tier. This includes usage-based free tier offers that refresh periodically, available permanently. This catalog doesn't include time-limited Free Tier offers that expire based on how long the account's been active. For more information about Free Tier offers, see
Explore AWS services with AWS Free Tier
. Also, this catalog doesn't include Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Spot Instances. For more information about Amazon EC2 Spot Instances, see
Amazon EC2 Spot Instances
.
For more information, see the following topics:

Tools for Amazon Web Services
Overview
To help you use the AWS Price List, the following are its key concepts:
Service
An AWS service, such as
Amazon EC2
or Savings Plans, for example: a Savings Plan for Amazon EC2 is
AWSComputeSavingsPlan
or a service representing limited AWS Marketplace offerings, for example:
AmazonBedrockFoundationModels
.
Product
An entity sold by an AWS service. In the price list file, products are indexed by a unique stock keeping unit (SKU).
Attribute
The property associated with a product. This property consists of
AttributeName
and
AttributeValue
. Products can have multiple attributes. Each attribute has one
AttributeName
and a list of applicable
AttributeValues
.
You can use the following AWS Price List APIs:
AWS Price List Query API
This API provides a centralized and convenient way to programmatically query AWS for services, products, and pricing information.
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.
Note
The Price List Query API doesn't support Savings Plan prices.
AWS Price List Bulk API
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.
Note
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
service pricing page
.
For more information about AWS service pricing, see
AWS Pricing
.
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.
Getting started with AWS Price List
IAM permissions
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
Find products and prices
.
Endpoints
The Price List Query API and Price List Bulk API provides the following endpoints:
https://api.pricing.us-east-1.amazonaws.com
https://api.pricing.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com
https://api.pricing.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com
The AWS Region is the API endpoint for the Price List Query API. The endpoints aren't related to product or service attributes.
To call the Price List Query API or Price List Bulk API, see the following examples.
Java
In the following example, specify the
region_name
and use it to create the
PricingClient
.
public class Main
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Create pricing client PricingClient client = PricingClient.builder() .region(Region.
US_EAST_1
)
// or Region.AP_SOUTH_1
.credentialsProvider(DefaultCredentialsProvider.builder().build()) .build(); ); } }
AWS Command Line Interface
Specify the Region with the following command.
aws pricing describe-services --region
us-east-1
Quotas
See
AWS Price List
in the
Quotas and restrictions
page.
For more information about service quotas, see
AWS service quotas
in the
AWS General Reference
.
