Using the AWS SDK in any language, you can generate a pre-signed URL to an PRIVATE S3 object and then anyone who has the URL can use it download the object. This is explained here:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/ShareObjectPreSignedURL.html
This is a great way to reduce load on your own server. You can pass off the actual download work to S3 if your clients with follow a redirect. My question is, does actually generating that URL cost anything--I mean actual MONEY. I understand that USING the URL will incur a GET request charge but what about actually generating the URL? Is it equivalent to an S3 GET request ($.0004 per 1000 requests) or a PUT request ($.005 per 1000 requests) or both or neither or something else? I can't seem to find any documentation this. This is important if you're talking about 10s of millions of requests.

No, it doesn't cost anything. Generating a pre-signed URL is a purely client-side operation. There are no AWS costs associated with this and there is no network activity. The SDK you're using takes your current credentials, the bucket and key for your object, your method of choice (e.g. GET), an expiration time, optional HTTP headers, and calculates and signs a URL, all done locally.
