### Overview

List Cloud Cost Management tag key metadata, including row counts, cost covered, cardinality, and a sample of top tag values per cloud account. Use `filter[daily]=true` to return daily rows instead of the default monthly roll-up. This endpoint requires the `cloud_cost_management_read` permission.

OAuth apps require the `cloud_cost_management_read` authorization [scope](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/scopes.md#cloud-cost-management) to access this endpoint.



### Arguments

| filter[provider]                | string | Filter results to a specific provider. Common cloud values are `aws`, `azure`, `gcp`, `Oracle` (OCI), and `custom`.

| filter[metric]                  | string | Filter results to a specific Cloud Cost Management metric (for example, `aws.cost.net.amortized`). When omitted, every available metric for the requested period is returned.                                                                                                   |
| filter[tag_key]                 | string | Restrict results to a single tag key.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |
| filter[daily]                   | enum   | When `true`, return one row per day with the day in the `date` attribute. Defaults to the monthly roll-up when omitted. Allowed enum values: `true, false`                                                                                                                      |
