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 #### Query Strings | Name | Type | Description | | ----------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------ | | page[size] | string | Number of results per page (1–10000). | | page[token] | string | Pagination token from a previous response. | ### Request #### Body Data (required) {% tab title="Model" %} | Parent field | Field | Type | Description | | ------------ | ---------------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | data [*required*] | object | JSON:API resource containing the cost recommendations filter. This legacy search contract uses the resource ID for the filter expression rather than as a persistent resource identifier. | | data | attributes | object | Attributes used to filter and sort cost recommendations. | | attributes | filter | string | Filter expression applied to the recommendations. When supplied, this attribute overrides `data.id`, including when empty. When omitted, `data.id` is used. If the resulting filter is empty, it defaults to `*`. Scope, view, and pagination still apply. | | attributes | scope | enum | Recommendations scope. Defaults to `ccm`; use `experiment` for experimental recommendations or `*` for both. Allowed enum values: `ccm,experiment,*` | | attributes | sort | [object] | Ordered list of sort clauses applied to the result set. | | sort | expression | string | Field to sort by (for example, `@potential_daily_savings`). | | sort | order | string | Sort direction, either `ASC` or `DESC`. | | attributes | view | string | Active view name (for example, `active`, `dismissed`, `open`, `in-progress`, or `completed`). | | data | id | string | Filter expression applied to the recommendations when `attributes.filter` is omitted. When supplied, `attributes.filter` overrides this value, including when empty. If the resulting filter is empty, it defaults to `*`. Scope, view, and pagination still apply. | | data | type [*required*] | enum | Legacy JSON:API resource type required by the cost recommendations search decoder. Allowed enum values: `recommendations_filter` | {% /tab %} {% tab title="Example" %} ```json { "data": { "attributes": { "filter": "@resource_table:aws_ec2_instance", "scope": "string", "sort": [ { "expression": "string", "order": "string" } ], "view": "string" }, "id": "string", "type": "recommendations_filter" } } ``` {% /tab %} ### Response {% tab title="200" %} OK {% tab title="Model" %} A page of cost recommendations with pagination metadata. | Parent field | Field | Type | Description | | ----------------------- | ----------------------- | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | data [*required*] | [object] | The list of cost recommendations on this page. | | data | attributes | object | Attributes describing a single cost recommendation. | | attributes | dd_resource_key | string | Datadog resource key identifying the recommended resource. | | attributes | potential_daily_savings | object | Estimated daily savings if the recommendation is applied. | | potential_daily_savings | amount | double | Numeric amount of the potential daily savings. | | potential_daily_savings | currency | string | ISO 4217 currency code for the savings amount. | | attributes | recommendation_type | string | The kind of recommendation (for example, `terminate` or `rightsize`). | | attributes | resource_id | string | Cloud provider identifier of the resource. | | attributes | resource_type | string | Resource type (for example, `aws_ec2_instance`). | | attributes | tags | [string] | Tags attached to the recommended resource. | | data | id | string | Unique identifier for the recommendation. | | data | type [*required*] | enum | Recommendation resource type. Allowed enum values: `recommendation` | | | meta | object | Top-level JSON:API meta object for paginated cost recommendation responses. | | meta | page | object | Pagination metadata for a page of cost recommendations. | | page | filter | string | The filter expression that was applied to produce this page. | | page | next_page_token | string | Opaque token used to fetch the next page; absent on the last page. | | page | page_size | int32 | Number of items returned in this page (1–10000). | | page | page_token | string | Pagination token echoed back from the request. | {% /tab %} {% tab
