Options¶

--time-period (structure)

The period of time that you want the forecast to cover. The start date must be equal to or no later than the current date to avoid a validation error.

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.

End -> (string)

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 .

Shorthand Syntax:

Start=string,End=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "Start": "string",
  "End": "string"
}

--metric (string)

Which metric Cost Explorer uses to create your forecast. For more information about blended and unblended rates, see Why does the “blended” annotation appear on some line items in my bill? .

Valid values for a GetCostForecast call are the following:

AMORTIZED_COST

BLENDED_COST

NET_AMORTIZED_COST

NET_UNBLENDED_COST

UNBLENDED_COST

Possible values:

BLENDED_COST

UNBLENDED_COST

AMORTIZED_COST

NET_UNBLENDED_COST

NET_AMORTIZED_COST

USAGE_QUANTITY

NORMALIZED_USAGE_AMOUNT

--granularity (string)

How granular you want the forecast to be. You can get 3 months of DAILY forecasts or 12 months of MONTHLY forecasts.

The GetCostForecast operation supports only DAILY and MONTHLY granularities.

Possible values:

DAILY

MONTHLY

HOURLY

--filter (structure)

The filters that you want to use to filter your forecast. The GetCostForecast API supports filtering by the following dimensions:

AZ

INSTANCE_TYPE

LINKED_ACCOUNT

LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME

OPERATION

PURCHASE_TYPE

REGION

SERVICE

USAGE_TYPE

USAGE_TYPE_GROUP

RECORD_TYPE

OPERATING_SYSTEM

TENANCY

SCOPE

PLATFORM

SUBSCRIPTION_ID

LEGAL_ENTITY_NAME

DEPLOYMENT_OPTION

DATABASE_ENGINE

INSTANCE_TYPE_FAMILY

BILLING_ENTITY

RESERVATION_ID

SAVINGS_PLAN_ARN

Or -> (list)

Return results that match either Dimension object.

(structure)

Use Expression to filter in various Cost Explorer APIs.

Not all Expression types are supported in each API. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.

There are two patterns:

Simple dimension values.

There are three types of simple dimension values: CostCategories , Tags , and Dimensions .

Specify the CostCategories field to define a filter that acts on Cost Categories.

Specify the Tags field to define a filter that acts on Cost Allocation Tags.

Specify the Dimensions field to define a filter that acts on the ` DimensionValues https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-cost-management/latest/APIReference/API_DimensionValues.html`__ .

For each filter type, you can set the dimension name and values for the filters that you plan to use.

For example, you can filter for REGION==us-east-1 OR REGION==us-west-1 . For GetRightsizingRecommendation , the Region is a full name (for example, REGION==US East (N. Virginia) .

The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } }

As shown in the previous example, lists of dimension values are combined with OR when applying the filter.

You can also set different match options to further control how the filter behaves. Not all APIs support match options. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.

For example, you can filter for linked account names that start with “a”.

The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME", "MatchOptions": [ "STARTS_WITH" ], "Values": [ "a" ] } }

Compound Expression types with logical operations.

You can use multiple Expression types and the logical operators AND/OR/NOT to create a list of one or more Expression objects. By doing this, you can filter by more advanced options.

For example, you can filter by ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) .

The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

Note

Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error: { "And": [ ... ], "Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

The following is an example of the corresponding error message: "Expression has more than one roots. Only one root operator is allowed for each expression: And, Or, Not, Dimensions, Tags, CostCategories"

Note

For the GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT isn’t supported. OR isn’t supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren’t supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

For the GetReservationPurchaseRecommendation action, only NOT is supported. AND and OR aren’t supported. Dimensions are limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT .

ANOMALY_TOTAL_IMPACT_ABSOLUTE and ANOMALY_TOTAL_IMPACT_PERCENTAGE can only be used in AnomalySubscriptions .

Values -> (list)

The metadata values that you can use to filter and group your results. You can use GetDimensionValues to find specific values.

(string)

MatchOptions -> (list)

The match options that you can use to filter your results.

--prediction-interval-level (integer)

Cost Explorer always returns the mean forecast as a single point. You can request a prediction interval around the mean by specifying a confidence level. The higher the confidence level, the more confident Cost Explorer is about the actual value falling in the prediction interval. Higher confidence levels result in wider prediction intervals.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

Global Options¶

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command’s default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

json
text
table
yaml
yaml-stream

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

on
off
auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-binary-format (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.

base64
raw-in-base64-out

--no-cli-pager (boolean)

Disable cli pager for output.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Disable automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

Output¶

How much you are forecasted to spend over the forecast period, in USD .

Amount -> (string)

The actual number that represents the metric.

Unit -> (string)

The unit that the metric is given in.

ForecastResultsByTime -> (list)

The forecasts for your query, in order. For DAILY forecasts, this is a list of days. For MONTHLY forecasts, this is a list of months.
