AWS Pricing API for Bedrock models pricing

README.md

Querying Amazon Bedrock Pricing

This quick guide shows how to use the AWS Pricing API via the AWS CLI to retrieve Amazon Bedrock on‑demand inference prices for Anthropic models (e.g., Claude). It includes a ready-to-run example that filters by provider, region, feature, and extracts usable price fields with jq.

• https://aws.amazon.com/bedrock/pricing
• https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/using-price-list-query-api.html

Key points

• Use the AWS Pricing API (aws pricing get-products) with --service-code "AmazonBedrock".
• The Pricing API returns large JSON; use jq to parse and extract model, usage type, and USD price per unit.
• The Pricing API is commonly queried from us-east-1 (--region us-east-1) because pricing data is centrally available there.
• Attribute names can vary slightly across accounts/regions (e.g., model vs modelName, inferenceType capitalization). If a query returns nothing, first inspect attributes to confirm names.

Basic command: Anthropic On‑demand inference (region = US East - N. Virginia)

Copy/paste this one-liner. It filters for Anthropic + On‑demand Inference in the N. Virginia region and returns model, usageType, inferenceType, location, price per unit (USD) and unit:

aws pricing get-products \
  --service-code "AmazonBedrock" \
  --filters Type=TERM_MATCH,Field=provider,Value="Anthropic" \
            Type=TERM_MATCH,Field=feature,Value="On-demand Inference" \
            Type=TERM_MATCH,Field=location,Value="US East (N. Virginia)" \
  --region us-east-1 \
  --output json \
| jq -r '.PriceList[] 
    | fromjson 
    | .product.attributes as $a 
    | (.terms.OnDemand // {}) 
    | to_entries[]? 
    | .value.priceDimensions 
    | to_entries[]? 
    | {model:$a.model, provider:$a.provider, usageType:$a.usagetype, inferenceType:$a.inferenceType, location:$a.location, price_per_unit:.value.pricePerUnit.USD, unit:.value.unit}'

Example simplified one-liner (no line breaks):

aws pricing get-products --service-code "AmazonBedrock" --filters Type=TERM_MATCH,Field=provider,Value="Anthropic" Type=TERM_MATCH,Field=feature,Value="On-demand Inference" Type=TERM_MATCH,Field=location,Value="US East (N. Virginia)" --region us-east-1 --output json | jq -r '.PriceList[] | fromjson | .product.attributes as $a | (.terms.OnDemand // {}) | to_entries[]? | .value.priceDimensions | to_entries[]? | {model:$a.model,provider:$a.provider,usageType:$a.usagetype,inferenceType:$a.inferenceType,location:$a.location,price_per_unit:.value.pricePerUnit.USD,unit:.value.unit}'

Explanation:

• --service-code "AmazonBedrock": Restricts to Bedrock pricing.
• --filters Type=TERM_MATCH,Field=provider,Value="Anthropic": Only Anthropic models.
• --filters Type=TERM_MATCH,Field=location,Value="US East (N. Virginia)": Set region as needed.
• --filters Type=TERM_MATCH,Field=feature,Value="On-demand Inference": Only on-demand inference pricing.
• Output is parsed with jq to show the model, usage type, inference type, and price.
