Querying the Price of a Pay-Per-Use Product

Function

Partners can query the price of a pay-per-use product by criteria on the sales platform.

If the tenant who purchases the product enjoys a discount, the discount amount and the final price can be obtained from the query result.

If the tenant has enjoyed multiple types discounts, the system will return the commercial discount amount and the final price preferentially.

HUAWEI CLOUD allows you to query products by service type, service region, resource type, and resource specification. Ensure that you enter correct criteria for search. Otherwise, the API returns an error indicating that the product cannot be found.

Constraints

This API can be invoked using the customer token replaced by the partner token.

Debugging

You can debug the API in API Explorer which supports automatic authentication. API Explorer can automatically generate and debug example SDK code.

Type

Value Range

Description

id

Yes

String

A maximum of 64 characters

The ID is used to identify the mapping between the inquiry result and the request and must be unique in an inquiry.

cloud_service_type

Yes

String

A maximum of 400 characters

Cloud service type code. For example, the cloud service type code of OBS is hws.service.type.obs. To obtain a specific service type, call the API in Querying Cloud Service Types.

resource_type

Yes

String

A maximum of 400 characters

Resource type code. For example, the VM resource type code of ECS is hws.resource.type.vm. To obtain a specific resource type, call the API in Querying Resource Types.

The relationship between ResourceType and CloudServiceType is as follows: A resource type represents a resource contained in the cloud service type, and the cloud service type is a combination of multiple resource types.

Resource specifications. For details, see related cloud service documentation.

The following provides examples of services and resource specifications:

  • ECS

    Add .win or .linux to the end of the ECS flavor ID based on the OS type, for example, s2.small.1.linux. Call the API for querying details about flavors and extended flavor information to obtain the flavor IDs.

  • Bandwidth
    • 12_bgp: dynamic BGP bandwidth billed by traffic
    • 12_sbgp: static BGP bandwidth billed by traffic
    • 19_bgp: dynamic BGP bandwidth billed by bandwidth
    • 19_sbgp: static BGP bandwidth billed by bandwidth

String

A maximum of 64 characters

Usage factor. The value is the same as the usage factor value in the SDR. The mapping between cloud services and usage factors is as follows:

  • Cloud server: Duration
  • Cloud disk: Duration

  • Marketplace image: Duration

You can call the API in Querying Usage Types to obtain the value of parameter code in Table 3. The value indicates the billing factor of each cloud service.

usage_value

Yes

BigDecimal

-

Usage value.

For example, if you want to inquire a product price by hour, set usageValue to 1 and usageMeasureID to 4 (hour).

usage_measure_id

Yes

Integer

A maximum of 4 characters

Usage unit. You can call the API in Querying Measurement Units to obtain the value.

For example, if you want to inquire a product price by hour, set usageValue to 1 and usageMeasureID to 4 (hour).

subscription_num

Yes

Integer

[1-10000]

Number of subscriptions.

available_zone

No

String

A maximum of 64 characters

AZ ID. If this parameter is not included in the request parameters, is set to "", or is set to null, it cannot be used as a filter criterion.

resource_size

No

Integer

[1-214783647]

Resource capacity. It can be the subscribed volume size or bandwidth size.

This parameter is mandatory for a linear product. Linear products are those whose size must be specified during a subscription, such as hard disks and bandwidth. For example, you can select 10 GB or 20 GB during a disk subscription.

For non-linear products, if this parameter is not included in the request parameters or is set to null, it cannot be used as a filter criterion.

size_measure_id

No

Integer

A maximum of 4 characters

Resource capacity measurement ID. The options are:

  • 15: Mbit/s (used when the bandwidth is subscribed)
  • 17: GB (used when an EVS disk is subscribed to)
  • 14: amount (times)

This field should be filled together with resource_size or left blank.

Linear products are those whose size must be specified during a subscription, such as hard disks and bandwidth. For example, you can select 10 GB or 20 GB during a disk subscription.

For non-linear products, if this parameter is not included in the request parameters or is set to null, it cannot be used as a filter criterion.
