Starting today, customers can now access their Amazon Web Services Free Tier usage through the Amazon SDK, command line, and 3rd party tools at no cost. Using this API, customers can programmatically track free tier usage against monthly usage limits, which allows customers to understand when their free usage will transition to pay-as-you-go pricing each month. This helps avoid unintended charges by comparing forecasted usage to the free tier limit for each service throughout the month. The Amazon Web Services Free Tier allows customers to explore more than 100 products by offering free usage each month.

The GetFreeTierUsage API is generally available in Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet and Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD and is integrated with Amazon CloudTrail to monitor and troubleshoot API activity.

Learn more about Amazon Web Services Free Tier on the Amazon Web Services Free Tier FAQs and in the Billing & Cost Management User Guide. Get started today by visiting Amazon Web Services Free Tier consoleAmazon Command Line Interface, or using the Amazon SDK.
