Migrate from EA Reserved Instance Usage Details API
EA customers who were previously using the Enterprise Reporting consumption.azure.com API to obtain reserved instance usage details need to migrate to a parity Azure Resource Manager API. The following instructions help you migrate and discuss any contract differences between the old API and the new API.
Note
All Azure Enterprise Reporting APIs are retired. You should Migrate to Microsoft Cost Management APIs as soon as possible.
Assign permissions to a service principal to call the API
Before calling the API, you need to configure a Service Principal with the correct permission. You use the service principal to call the API. For more information, see Assign permissions to Cost Management APIs.
Call the Reserved instance usage details API
Microsoft isn't updating the older synchronous-based Reservation Details APIs. We recommend at you move to the newer SPN-supported asynchronous API call pattern as a part of the migration. Asynchronous requests better handle large amounts of data and reduce timeout errors.
Supported requests
Use the following request URIs when calling the new Asynchronous Reservation Details API. Your enrollment number should be used as the billingAccountId. You can call the API with the following scope:
Enrollment: providers/Microsoft.Billing/billingAccounts/{billingAccountId}
Generate report by billing account ID
Sample request to generate a reservation details report
POST https://management.azure.com/providers/Microsoft.Billing/billingAccounts/{billingAccountId}/providers/Microsoft.CostManagement/generateReservationDetailsReport?startDate={startDate}&endDate={endDate}&api-version=2023-11-01
The POST request returns a location to poll the report generation status as outlined in the following response:
Sample response
Status code 202
Location: https://management.azure.com/providers/Microsoft.Billing/billingAccounts/9845612/providers/Microsoft.CostManagement/reservationDetailsOperationResults/aaaaaaaa-0000-1111-2222-bbbbbbbbbbbb?api-version=2023-11-01
Retry-After: 60
Status code 200
