get ec2 pricing programmatically?

Question

Is there a way to get AWS pricing programmatically (cost per hour of each instance type, cost per GB/month of storage on S3, and etc)?

Also, are there cost monitorin

Answer 1

Beside the official AWS JSON endpoint, https://ec2.shop is also an option. It respond both to json and text based(so you can use grep, awk etc).

curl -L 'ec2.shop?filter=.large'
