AWS billing with python

Question

I'm want to extract my current billing from aws by using amazon boto3 library for python, but couldn't find any API command that does so.

When trying to use previous version (boto2) with the fps connection and get_account_balance() method, i'm waiting for a response with no reply.

Can anyone tell me the correct way of doing so ?

Answer 1

You can get the current bill of your AWS account by using the CostExplorer API.

Below is an example:

import boto3

client = boto3.client('ce', region_name='us-east-1')

response = client.get_cost_and_usage(
    TimePeriod={
        'Start': '2018-10-01',
        'End': '2018-10-31'
    },
    Granularity='MONTHLY',
    Metrics=[
        'AmortizedCost',
    ]
)

print(response)
