AWS Billing and Cost Management now offers the ListBillingViewSegments API, which provides the billing context of an account over a specified time period. This API helps users understand their account's position in the billing hierarchy and identify managing accounts or applicable rate settings. It supports direct calls or interaction via an AI agent, and segments data to reflect changes in billing context mid-period. The API is available in all commercial AWS Regions at no additional charge, providing billing context without cost and usage data.

  • New API for Retrieving Account Billing Context

    The new ListBillingViewSegments API returns an account's billing context over a specified time, detailing its position in the billing hierarchy (e.g., management, member accounts) and applied rate settings. The API divides the requested period into time segments to accurately reflect any mid-period changes in billing relationships.
