How to get Azure service pricing details programmatically?

Question

Can anybody please tell me how can I programmatically get Azure service pricing details (pricing for Compute, Data Services , App Services, Network Services) from Azure website?

Does Azure provide the pricing details in JSON format?

Windows Azure does'not provide any such API as of today, although it is a much asked feature and hopefully they are working on it.

The only way for now could be to build your own data store with details mentioned here : http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/calculator/

Unit wise price will be mentioned in the usage data csv, but unfortunately the only way for now is to download this csv for your subscription here: https://account.windowsazure.com/Subscriptions
