Get price and metadata information for resources used in an Azure subscription

  • Artículo

Note

The functionality of this API is replaced by https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/cost-management-billing/manage/consumption-api-overview#usage-details-api

Enables you to query for the resource/meter metadata and related prices used in a given subscription by:

  • Offer ID

  • Currency

  • Locale

  • Region

Important

The metadata associated with the billing meters, including but not limited to service names, types, resources, units of measure, and regions, is subject to change at any time and without notice. If you intend to use this billing data in an automated fashion, please use the billing meter GUID to uniquely identify each billable item. If the billing meter GUID is scheduled to change due to a new billing model, you will be notified in advance of the change.

Request

See the Common parameters and headers section in Resource RateCard (Preview) for headers and parameters that are used by all requests related to the Resource RateCard API.

Method Request URI
GET https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscription-Id}/providers/Microsoft.Commerce/RateCard?api-version={api-version}&$filter=OfferDurableId eq ’{OfferDurableId}’ and Currency eq ’{Currency}’ and Locale eq ’{Locale}’ and RegionInfo eq ’{RegionInfo}’’

  • Set {OfferDurableId} to a valid Offer ID code (e.g., MS-AZR-0026P). See Microsoft Azure Offer Details for more information on the list of available Offer IDs, country/region availability, and billing currency. The Offer ID parameter consists of the “MS-AZR-“ prefix, plus the Offer ID number.

  • Set {Currency} to the currency in which the resource rates need to be provided.

  • Set {Locale} to the culture in which the resource metadata needs to be localized.

  • Set {RegionInfo} to the 2 letter ISO code where the offer was purchased.

Important

Please note that all 4 query parameters are required. Also, the $filter query option ONLY supports the ‘eq’ and ‘and’ logical operators at this time.

There is no request body.

Response

Important

The response will be a 302 Found response. When following this redirect please ensure you are not including an Authentication header, the URL contains a SAS token which is used to authorize the request.

Sample Responses

Below are examples of HTTP responses for various Offer IDs and regions, showing the request URL and substitution values for query parameters, as well as the corresponding JSON encoded response body.

The following example demonstrates a Pay-As-You-Go offer query on a given subscription, where OfferDurableId = ‘MS-AZR-0003p’ for the United States region (US), rates are returned in US Dollars (USD), and metadata is localized for the US English locale (en-US).
