Cost Attribution data for a given month becomes available no later than the 19th of the following month. This API endpoint is paginated. To make sure you receive all records, check if the value of `next_record_id` is set in the response. If it is, make another request and pass `next_record_id` as a parameter. Pseudo code example: ``` response := GetMonthlyCostAttribution(start_month, end_month) cursor := response.metadata.pagination.next_record_id WHILE cursor != null BEGIN sleep(5 seconds) # Avoid running into rate limit response := GetMonthlyCostAttribution(start_month, end_month, next_record_id=cursor) cursor := response.metadata.pagination.next_record_id END ``` This endpoint is only accessible for [parent-level organizations](https://docs.datadoghq.com/account_management/multi_organization.md). This endpoint is not available in the Government (US1-FED) site. This endpoint requires all of the following permissions:`usage_read``billing_read` OAuth apps require the `usage_read, billing_read` authorization [scope](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/scopes.md#usage-metering) to access this endpoint. ### Arguments #### Query Strings | Name | Type | Description | | ----------------------------- | ------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | start_month [*required*] | string | Datetime in ISO-8601 format, UTC, precise to month: `[YYYY-MM]` for cost beginning in this month. | | end_month | string | Datetime in ISO-8601 format, UTC, precise to month: `[YYYY-MM]` for cost ending this month. | | fields [*required*] | string | Comma-separated list specifying cost types (e.g., `_on_demand_cost`, `_committed_cost`, `_total_cost`) and the proportions (`_percentage_in_org`, `_percentage_in_account`). Use `*` to retrieve all fields. Example: `infra_host_on_demand_cost,infra_host_percentage_in_account` To obtain the complete list of active billing dimensions that can be used to replace `` in the field names, make a request to the [Get active billing dimensions API](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/usage-metering.md#get-active-billing-dimensions-for-cost-attribution). | | sort_direction | enum | The direction to sort by: `[desc, asc]`. Allowed enum values: `desc, asc` | | sort_name | string | The billing dimension to sort by. Always sorted by total cost. Example: `infra_host`. | | tag_breakdown_keys | string | Comma separated list of tag keys used to group cost. If no value is provided the cost will not be broken down by tags. To see which tags are available, look for the value of `tag_config_source` in the API response. | | next_record_id | string | List following results with a next_record_id provided in the previous query. | | include_descendants | boolean | Include child org cost in the response. Defaults to `true`. | ### Response {% tab title="200" %} OK {% tab title="Model" %} Response containing the monthly cost attribution by tag(s). | Parent field | Field | Type | Description | | -------------------- | ----------------- | --------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | data | [object] | Response containing cost attribution. | | data | attributes | object | Cost Attribution by Tag for a given organization. | | attributes | month | date-time | Datetime in ISO-8601 format, UTC, precise to hour: `[YYYY-MM-DDThh]`. | | attributes | org_name | string | The name of the organization. | | attributes | public_id | string | The organization public ID. | | attributes | tag_config_source | string | The source of the cost attribution tag configuration and the selected tags in the format `::://////`. | | attributes | tags | object | Tag keys and values. A `null` value here means that the requested tag breakdown cannot be applied because it does not match the [tags configured for usage attribution](https://docs.datadoghq.com/account_management/billing/usage_attribution.md#getting-started). In this scenario the API returns the total cost, not broken down by tags. | | additionalProperties | | [string] | A list of values that are associated with each tag key. | | attributes | updated_at | string | Shows the most recent hour in the current months for all organizations for which all costs were calculated. | | attributes | values | object | Fields in Cost Attribution by tag(s). Example: `infra_host_on_demand_cost`, `infra_host_committed_cost`, `infra_host_total_cost`, `infra_host_percentage_in_org`, `infra_host_percentage_in_account`. | | data | id | string | Unique ID of the response. | | data | type | enum | Type of cost attribution data. Allowed enum values: `cost_by_tag` | | | meta | object | The object containing document metadata. | | meta | aggregates | [object] | An array of available aggregates. | | aggregates | agg_type | string | The aggregate type. | | aggregates | field | string | The field. | | aggregates | value | double | The value for a given field. | | meta | pagination | object | The metadata for the current pagination. | | pagination | next_record_id | string | The cursor to use to get the next results, if any. To make the next request, use the same parameters with the addition of the `next_record_id`. | {% /tab %} {% tab title="Example" %} ```json { "data": [ { "attributes": { "month": "2019-09-19T10:00:00.000Z", "org_name": "string", "public_id": "string", "tag_config_source": "string", "tags": { "": [ "datadog-integrations-lab" ] }, "updated_at": "string", "values": {} }, "id": "string", "type": "cost_by_tag" } ], "meta": { "aggregates": [ { "agg_type": "sum", "field": "infra_host_committed_cost", "value": "number" } ], "pagination": { "next_record_id": "string" } } } ``` {% /tab %} {% /tab %} {% tab title="400" %} Bad Request {% tab title="Model" %} API error response. | Field | Type | Description | | ------------------------ | -------- | ----------------- | | errors [*required*] | [string] | A list of errors. | {% /tab %} {% tab title="Example" %} ```json { "errors": [ "Bad Request" ] } ``` {% /tab %} {% /tab %} {% tab title="403" %} Forbidden - User is not authorized {% tab title="Model" %} API error response. | Field | Type | Description | | ------------------------ | -------- | ----------------- | | errors [*required*] | [string] | A list of errors. | {% /tab %} {% tab title="Example" %} ```json { "errors": [ "Bad Request" ] } ``` {% /tab %} {% /tab %} {% tab title="429" %} Too many requests {% tab title="Model" %} API error response. | Field | Type | Description | | ------------------------ | -------- | ----------------- | | errors [*required*] | [string] | A list of errors. | {% /tab %} {% tab title="Example" %} ```json { "errors": [ "Bad Request" ] } ``` {% /tab %} {% /tab %} ### Code Example ##### \# Required query arguments export start_month="CHANGE_ME" export fields="CHANGE_ME" \# Curl command curl -X GET "https://api.datadoghq.com/api/v2/cost_by_tag/monthly_cost_attribution?start_month=${start_month}&fields=${fields}" \ -H "Accept: application/json" \ -H "DD-API-KEY: ${DD_API_KEY}" \ -H "DD-APPLICATION-KEY: ${DD_APP_KEY}" ##### ```python """ Get Monthly Cost Attribution returns "OK" response """ from datetime import datetime from dateutil.relativedelta import relativedelta from datadog_api_client import ApiClient, Configuration from datadog_api_client.v2.api.usage_metering_api import UsageMeteringApi configuration = Configuration() with ApiClient(configuration) as api_client: api_instance = UsageMeteringApi(api_client) response = api_instance.get_monthly_cost_attribution( start_month=(datetime.now() + relativedelta(days=-5)), end_month=(datetime.now() + relativedelta(days=-3)), fields="infra_host_total_cost", ) print(response) ``` #### Instructions First [install the library and its dependencies](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest.md?code-lang=python) and then save the example to `example.py` and run following commands: DD_SITE="datadoghq.com" DD_API_KEY="" DD_APP_KEY="" python3 "example.py" ##### ```ruby # Get Monthly Cost Attribution returns "OK" response require "datadog_api_client" api_instance = DatadogAPIClient::V2::UsageMeteringAPI.new opts = { end_month: (Time.now + -3 * 86400), } p api_instance.get_monthly_cost_attribution((Time.now + -5 * 86400), "infra_host_total_cost", opts) ``` #### Instructions First [install the library and its dependencies](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest.md?code-lang=ruby) and then save the example to `example.rb` and run following commands: DD_SITE="datadoghq.com" DD_API_KEY="" DD_APP_KEY="" rb "example.rb" ##### ```go // Get Monthly Cost Attribution returns "OK" response package main import ( "context" "encoding/json" "fmt" "os" "time" "github.com/DataDog/datadog-api-client-go/v2/api/datadog" "github.com/DataDog/datadog-api-client-go/v2/api/datadogV2" ) func main() { ctx := datadog.NewDefaultContext(context.Background()) configuration := datadog.NewConfiguration() apiClient := datadog.NewAPIClient(configuration) api := datadogV2.NewUsageMeteringApi(apiClient) resp, r, err := api.GetMonthlyCostAttribution(ctx, time.Now().AddDate(0, 0, -5), "infra_host_total_cost", *datadogV2.NewGetMonthlyCostAttributionOptionalParameters().WithEndMonth(time.Now().AddDate(0, 0, -3))) if err != nil { fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Error when calling `UsageMeteringApi.GetMonthlyCostAttribution`: %v\n", err) fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Full HTTP response: %v\n", r) } responseContent, _ := json.MarshalIndent(resp, "", " ") fmt.Fprintf(os.Stdout, "Response from `UsageMeteringApi.GetMonthlyCostAttribution`:\n%s\n", responseContent) } ``` #### Instructions First [install the library and its dependencies](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest.md?code-lang=go) and then save the example to `main.go` and run following commands: DD_SITE="datadoghq.com" DD_API_KEY="" DD_APP_KEY="" go run "main.go" ##### ```java // Get Monthly Cost Attribution returns "OK" response import com.datadog.api.client.ApiClient;
