How can I estimate AWS costs programmatically for multiple services?

There's no straightforward library that covers everything due to the complexity of AWS pricing. AWS does offer public APIs to access real-time pricing data, but you need to know precisely what services and units you will be using. Consider checking out the price list API endpoint for the specific services you're interested in. Just keep in mind that calculating costs can get a bit detailed, especially with certain billing structures that mix usage and resource uptime.

If you're using Terraform or similar deployment tools, you might want to look at Infracost. It gives a preview of costs based on the resources you plan to deploy before you actually apply them, which could be very helpful for your project.

Hi there! We actually have a Pricing API that can assist you in calculating costs programmatically for multiple services. If you're working with Python, the AWS SDK (boto3) includes a dedicated pricing service. It enables you to retrieve real-time pricing details and estimate costs based on projected usage.

Honestly, estimating AWS costs programmatically can be quite complicated. It’s tough to get an accurate picture without a lot of detailed info about your exact resource usage and billing nuances.

There are also methods using MCP servers that interface with billing APIs, where community members can help analyze architecture through tools like Terraform or CDK to estimate pricing.
