Response Structure

  • (dict) –

    • Services (dict) –

      The service metadata for the service or services in the response.

      • (string) –

        • (integer) –

    • TotalRecords (integer) –

      The total number of usage records for all services in the services list.

    • LookbackPeriod (dict) –

      The lookback period that’s used for the estimation.

      • Start (string) –

        The beginning of the time period. The start date is inclusive. For example, if start is 2017-01-01, Amazon Web Services retrieves cost and usage data starting at 2017-01-01 up to the end date. The start date must be equal to or no later than the current date to avoid a validation error.

        The end of the time period. The end date is exclusive. For example, if end is 2017-05-01, Amazon Web Services retrieves cost and usage data from the start date up to, but not including, 2017-05-01.
