@TeunRoefs not safe to assume. Some regions may not have some instance types. But this can be run on the region-specific files:

curl -s https://pricing.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/offers/v1.0/aws/AmazonEC2/current/$REGION/index.json | jq -r '.products[].attributes["instanceType"]' | sort -u | grep '\.'

Instance types in every region:

for REGION in $(aws ec2 describe-regions --query "Regions[*].RegionName" --output text)
do
  echo $REGION
  curl -s https://pricing.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/offers/v1.0/aws/AmazonEC2/current/$REGION/index.json | jq -r '.products[].attributes["instanceType"]' | sort -u | grep '\.'
done

Instance families in every region:

for REGION in $(aws ec2 describe-regions --query "Regions[*].RegionName" --output text)
do
  echo $REGION
  curl -s https://pricing.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/offers/v1.0/aws/AmazonEC2/current/$REGION/index.json | jq -r '.products[].attributes["instanceType"]' | sort -u | grep '\.' | sed 's/\..*//' | sort -u
done
