How to estimate cost through API?

Closed this issue a year ago · 8 comments

I see the Cloud Cost Estimator tool and I would like to interact with it through API -- given a list of instances return the total cost. Is it possible? Can't find anything in the docs.

Hi @samuelastech, the cost estimator tool doesn't have a public API to interact with.

We do have a list price API that is documented here: https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/GSG/Tasks/signingup_topic-Estimating_Costs.htm#accessing_list_pricing

Hi @KartikShrikantHegde, I do need more info.

The price list doesn't have information about E2 instances but I do need it because there are some instances on my side. Where could I get this information?

If I could find the skuPartNumber of a given OCID, my problem would be solved...
The UsageAPI brings it to me sometimes, but not always.

Hi @samuelastech , Can you try this API - https://apexapps.oracle.com/pls/apex/cetools/api/v1/products/ ?

For example, this will return a list of all prices:
curl https://apexapps.oracle.com/pls/apex/cetools/api/v1/products/
E2 is also listed there.
