Note

Effective January 21, 2025, this API will be deprecated. Plan your transition to ensure continuity.

Goal: Retrieve unbilled daily usage line items for the current and previous billing periods before January 21, 2025.
Action: Use this API before January 21, 2025, or move to API v2 GA sooner.
Goal: Retrieve unbilled daily usage line items for the current and previous billing periods from January 21, 2025.
Action: Use only API v2 GA.

For a seamless transition to the new APIs, follow this link: Billed and unbilled daily rated usage reconciliation API v2 (GA).

Thank you for your attention, and we look forward to your continued success with our billing APIs.

How to get a collection of unbilled commercial consumption line item details.

You can use the following methods to get a collection of details unbilled commercial consumption line items (also known as open usage line items) programmatically.

Important

The daily rated usage data doesn't include the charges for these products:

Azure reservation
Azure savings plan
Office
Dynamics
Microsoft Power Apps
Perpetual software
Software subscription
Non-Microsoft or marketplace SaaS product

Note

You can access your unbilled daily rated usage line items through the API or Partner Center portal. To ensure data accuracy, allow up to 24 hours for availability. Depending on your location and when the meters report the usage, there might be further delays.

We prioritize on time delivery of billed daily rated usage data first. Occasionally, the most recent unbilled daily rated usage data might not appear until the previous month's billed data is available. Once you receive the billed data, you can then access all updated unbilled usage data from the start of the month.

Key points:

Allow up to 24 hours for data availability.
There might be further delays depending on your location and meter reporting times.
Billed daily rated usage data is prioritized over unbilled data.

Your understanding and patience are appreciated as we strive to provide the most accurate and timely information possible.

Prerequisites

Credentials as described in Partner Center authentication. This scenario supports authentication with both standalone App and App+User credentials.

C#

To get the line items for the specified invoice:

Call the ById method to get an interface to invoice operations for the specified invoice.
Call the Get or GetAsync method to retrieve the invoice object.

The invoice object contains all of the information for the specified invoice. The Provider identifies the source of the unbilled detail information (for example, OneTime). The InvoiceLineItemType specifies the type (for example, UsageLineItem).

The following example code uses a foreach loop to process the InvoiceLineItems collection. A separate collection of line items is retrieved for each InvoiceLineItemType.

To get a collection of line items that correspond to an InvoiceDetail instance:

Pass the instance's BillingProvider and InvoiceLineItemType to the By method.
Call the Get or GetAsync method to retrieve the associated line items.
Create an enumerator to traverse the collection as shown in the following example.

// IAggregatePartner partnerOperations;
// string curencyCode;
// string period;
// int pageMaxSizeReconLineItems = 2000;

// all the operations executed on this partner operation instance will share the same correlation Id but will differ in request Id
IPartner scopedPartnerOperations = partnerOperations.With(RequestContextFactory.Instance.Create(Guid.NewGuid()));

var seekBasedResourceCollection = scopedPartnerOperations.Invoices.ById("unbilled").By("onetime", "usagelineitems", curencyCode, period, pageMaxSizeReconLineItems).Get();

var fetchNext = true;

ConsoleKeyInfo keyInfo;

var itemNumber = 1;
while (fetchNext)
{
    Console.Out.WriteLine("\tLine items count: " + seekBasedResourceCollection.Items.Count());

    seekBasedResourceCollection.Items.ToList().ForEach(item =>
    {
        // Instance of type DailyRatedUsageLineItem
        if (item is DailyRatedUsageLineItem)
        {
            Type t = typeof(DailyRatedUsageLineItem);
            PropertyInfo[] properties = t.GetProperties();

            foreach (PropertyInfo property in properties)
            {
                // Insert code here to work with the line item properties
            }
        }
        itemNumber++;
    });

    Console.Out.WriteLine("\tPress any key to fetch next data. Press the Escape (Esc) key to quit: \n");
    keyInfo = Console.ReadKey();

    if (keyInfo.Key == ConsoleKey.Escape)
    {
        break;
    }

    fetchNext = !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(seekBasedResourceCollection.ContinuationToken);

    if (fetchNext)
    {
        if (seekBasedResourceCollection.Links.Next.Headers != null && seekBasedResourceCollection.Links.Next.Headers.Any())
        {
            seekBasedResourceCollection = scopedPartnerOperations.Invoices.ById("unbilled").By("onetime", "usagelineitems", curencyCode, period, pageMaxSizeReconLineItems).Seek(seekBasedResourceCollection.ContinuationToken, SeekOperation.Next);
        }
    }
}

REST request

Request syntax

You can use the following syntaxes for your REST request, depending on your use case. For more information, see the descriptions for each syntax.

Method	Request URI	Description of syntax use case
GET	{baseURL}/v1/invoices/unbilled/lineitems?provider=onetime&invoicelineitemtype=usagelineitems&currencycode={currencycode}&period={period} HTTP/1.1	Use this syntax to return a full list of every line item for the given invoice.
GET	{baseURL}/v1/invoices/unbilled/lineitems?provider=onetime&invoicelineitemtype=usagelineitems&currencycode={currencycode}&period={period}&size={size} HTTP/1.1	Use this syntax for large invoices. Use this syntax with a specified size and 0-based offset to return a paged list of line items.
GET	{baseURL}/v1/invoices/unbilled/lineitems?provider=onetime&invoicelineitemtype=usagelineitems&currencycode={currencycode}&period={period}&size={size}&seekOperation=Next	Use this syntax to get the next page of reconciliation line items using `seekOperation = "Next"`.

URI parameters

Use the following URI and query parameters when creating the request.

Name	Type	Required	Description
provider	string	Yes	The provider: "OneTime".
invoice-line-item-type	string	Yes	The type of invoice detail: "UsageLineItems", "UsageLineItems".
currencyCode	string	Yes	The currency code for the unbilled line items.
