aws billing information using aws java sdk

Question

I\'m trying to get the billing information from aws for ec2 instances, s3 buckets and ebs volumes using java api. I want to create api that gives specific entity wise hourly

Answer 1

There are no APIs to get AWS billing information. Instead what you can do is:

1. Turn on the detailed billing report (from dashboard)
2. Configure what kind of billing reports you want
3. AWS will start pushing billing info as CSV files to a (pre)configured bucket several times an hour
4. Use REST API or S3 Java API to get the information from the bucket when needed.
