MarketplaceMetering ******************* Client ====== class MarketplaceMetering.Client A low-level client representing AWSMarketplace Metering This reference provides descriptions of the low-level Marketplace Metering Service API. Amazon Web Services Marketplace sellers can use this API to submit usage data for custom usage dimensions. For information about the permissions that you need to use this API, see Amazon Web Services Marketplace metering and entitlement API permissions in the *Amazon Web Services Marketplace Seller Guide.* **Submitting metering records** *MeterUsage* * Submits the metering record for an Amazon Web Services Marketplace product. * Called from: Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance or a container running on either Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) or Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) * Supported product types: Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) and containers * Vendor-metered tagging: Supported allocation tagging *BatchMeterUsage* * Submits the metering record for a set of customers. "BatchMeterUsage" API calls are captured by CloudTrail. You can use CloudTrail to verify that the software as a subscription (SaaS) metering records that you sent are accurate by searching for records with the "eventName" of "BatchMeterUsage". You can also use CloudTrail to audit records over time. For more information, see the CloudTrail User Guide. * Called from: SaaS applications * Supported product type: SaaS * Vendor-metered tagging: Supports allocation tagging **Accepting new customers** *ResolveCustomer* * Resolves the registration token that the buyer submits through the browser during the registration process. Obtains a "CustomerIdentifier" along with the "CustomerAWSAccountId" and "ProductCode". * Called from: SaaS application during the registration process * Supported product type: SaaS * Vendor-metered tagging: Not applicable **Entitlement and metering for paid container products** *RegisteredUsage* * Provides software entitlement and metering. Paid container software products sold through Amazon Web Services Marketplace must integrate with the Marketplace Metering Service and call the "RegisterUsage" operation. Free and Bring Your Own License model (BYOL) products for Amazon ECS or Amazon EKS aren't required to call "RegisterUsage". However, you can do so if you want to receive usage data in your seller reports. For more information about using the "RegisterUsage" operation, see Container-based products. * Called from: Paid container software products * Supported product type: Containers * Vendor-metered tagging: Not applicable **Entitlement custom metering for container products** * MeterUsage API is available in GovCloud Regions but only supports AMI FCP products in GovCloud Regions. Flexible Consumption Pricing (FCP) Container products aren’t supported in GovCloud Regions: us-gov-west-1 and us-gov-east-1. For more information, see Container-based products. * Custom metering for container products are called using the MeterUsage API. The API is used for FCP AMI and FCP Container product metering. **Custom metering for Amazon EKS is available in 17 Amazon Web Services Regions** * The metering service supports Amazon ECS and EKS for Flexible Consumption Pricing (FCP) products using MeterUsage API. Amazon ECS is supported in all Amazon Web Services Regions that MeterUsage API is available except for GovCloud. * Amazon EKS is supported in the following: us-east-1, us-east-2, us-west-1, us-west-2, eu-west-1, eu-central-1, eu-west-2, eu- west-3, eu-north-1, ap-east-1, ap-southeast-1, ap-northeast-1, ap-southeast-2, ap-northeast-2, ap-south-1, ca-central-1, sa- east-1. Note: For questions about adding Amazon Web Services Regions for metering, contact Amazon Web Services Marketplace Seller Operations. import boto3 client = boto3.client('meteringmarketplace') These are the available methods: * batch_meter_usage * can_paginate * close * get_paginator * get_waiter * meter_usage * register_usage * resolve_customer MarketplaceMetering / Client / get_paginator get_paginator ************* MarketplaceMetering.Client.get_paginator(operation_name) Create a paginator for an operation. Parameters: **operation_name** (*string*) -- The operation name. This is the same name as the method name on the client. For example, if the method name is "create_foo", and you'd normally invoke the operation as "client.create_foo(**kwargs)", if the "create_foo" operation can be paginated, you can use the call "client.get_paginator("create_foo")". Raises: **OperationNotPageableError** -- Raised if the operation is not pageable. You can use the "client.can_paginate" method to check if an operation is pageable. Return type: "botocore.paginate.Paginator" Returns: A paginator object. MarketplaceMetering / Client / can_paginate can_paginate ************ MarketplaceMetering.Client.can_paginate(operation_name) Check if an operation can be paginated. Parameters: **operation_name** (*string*) -- The operation name. This is the same name as the method name on the client. For example, if the method name is "create_foo", and you'd normally invoke the operation as "client.create_foo(**kwargs)", if the "create_foo" operation can be paginated, you can use the call "client.get_paginator("create_foo")". Returns: "True" if the operation can be paginated, "False" otherwise. MarketplaceMetering / Client / resolve_customer resolve_customer **************** MarketplaceMetering.Client.resolve_customer(**kwargs) "ResolveCustomer" is called by a SaaS application during the registration process. When a buyer visits your website during the registration process, the buyer submits a registration token through their browser. The registration token is resolved through this API to obtain a "CustomerIdentifier" along with the "CustomerAWSAccountId" and "ProductCode". Note: To successfully resolve the token, the API must be called from the account that was used to publish the SaaS application. For an example of using "ResolveCustomer", see ResolveCustomer code example in the *Amazon Web Services Marketplace Seller Guide*. Permission is required for this operation. Your IAM role or user performing this operation requires a policy to allow the "aws- marketplace:ResolveCustomer" action. For more information, see Actions, resources, and condition keys for Amazon Web Services Marketplace Metering Service in the *Service Authorization Reference*. For Amazon Web Services Regions that support "ResolveCustomer", see ResolveCustomer Region support. See also: AWS API Documentation **Request Syntax** response = client.resolve_customer( RegistrationToken='string' ) Parameters: **RegistrationToken** (*string*) -- **[REQUIRED]** When a buyer visits your website during the registration process, the buyer submits a registration token through the browser. The registration token is resolved to obtain a "CustomerIdentifier" along with the "CustomerAWSAccountId" and "ProductCode". Return type: dict Returns: **Response Syntax** { 'CustomerIdentifier': 'string', 'ProductCode': 'string', 'CustomerAWSAccountId': 'string' } **Response Structure** * *(dict) --* The result of the "ResolveCustomer" operation. Contains the "CustomerIdentifier" along with the "CustomerAWSAccountId" and "ProductCode". * **CustomerIdentifier** *(string) --* The "CustomerIdentifier" is used to identify an individual customer in your application. Calls to "BatchMeterUsage" require "CustomerIdentifiers" for each "UsageRecord". * **ProductCode** *(string) --* The product code is returned to confirm that the buyer is registering for your product. Subsequent "BatchMeterUsage" calls should be made using this product code. * **CustomerAWSAccountId** *(string) --* The "CustomerAWSAccountId" provides the Amazon Web Services account ID associated with the "CustomerIdentifier" for the individual customer. **Exceptions** * "MarketplaceMetering.Client.exceptions.InvalidTokenException" * "MarketplaceMetering.Client.exceptions.ExpiredTokenException" * "MarketplaceMetering.Client.exceptions.ThrottlingException" * "MarketplaceMetering.Client.exceptions.InternalServiceErrorExcep tion" * "MarketplaceMetering.Client.exceptions.DisabledApiException" MarketplaceMetering / Client / get_waiter get_waiter ********** MarketplaceMetering.Client.get_waiter(waiter_name) Returns an object that can wait for some condition. Parameters: **waiter_name** (*str*) -- The name of the waiter to get. See the waiters section of the service docs for a list of available waiters. Returns: The specified waiter object. Return type: "botocore.waiter.Waiter" MarketplaceMetering / Client / close close ***** MarketplaceMetering.Client.close() Closes underlying endpoint connections. MarketplaceMetering / Client / register_usage register_usage ************** MarketplaceMetering.Client.register_usage(**kwargs) Paid container software products sold through Amazon Web Services Marketplace must integrate with the Amazon Web Services Marketplace Metering Service and call the "RegisterUsage" operation for software entitlement and metering. Free and BYOL products for Amazon ECS or Amazon EKS aren't required to call "RegisterUsage", but you may choose to do so if you would like to receive usage data in your seller reports. The sections below explain the behavior of "RegisterUsage". "RegisterUsage" performs two primary functions: metering and entitlement. * *Entitlement*: "RegisterUsage" allows you to verify that the customer running your paid software is subscribed to your product on Amazon Web Services Marketplace, enabling you to guard against unauthorized use. Your container image that integrates with "RegisterUsage" is only required to guard against unauthorized use at container startup, as such a "CustomerNotSubscribedException" or "PlatformNotSupportedException" will only be thrown on the initial call to "RegisterUsage". Subsequent calls from the same Amazon ECS task instance (e.g. task-id) or Amazon EKS pod will not throw a "CustomerNotSubscribedException", even if the customer unsubscribes while the Amazon ECS task or Amazon EKS pod is still running. * *Metering*: "RegisterUsage" meters software use per ECS task, per hour, or per pod for Amazon EKS with usage prorated to the second. A minimum of 1 minute of usage applies to tasks that are short lived. For example, if a customer has a 10 node Amazon ECS or Amazon EKS cluster and a service configured as a Daemon Set, then Amazon ECS or Amazon EKS will launch a task on all 10 cluster nodes and the customer will be charged for 10 tasks. Software metering is handled by the Amazon Web Services Marketplace metering control plane—your software is not required to perform metering-specific actions other than to call "RegisterUsage" to commence metering. The Amazon Web Services Marketplace metering control plane will also bill customers for running ECS tasks and Amazon EKS pods, regardless of the customer's subscription state, which removes the need for your software to run entitlement checks at runtime. For containers, "RegisterUsage" should be called immediately at launch. If you don’t register the container within the first 6 hours of the launch, Amazon Web Services Marketplace Metering Service doesn’t provide any metering guarantees for previous months. Metering will continue, however, for the current month forward until the container ends. "RegisterUsage" is for metering paid hourly container products. For Amazon Web Services Regions that support "RegisterUsage", see RegisterUsage Region support. See also: AWS API Documentation **Request Syntax** response = client.register_usage( ProductCode='string', PublicKeyVersion=123, Nonce='string' ) Parameters: * **ProductCode** (*string*) -- **[REQUIRED]** Product code is used to uniquely identify a product in Amazon Web Services Marketplace. The product code should be the same as the one used during the publishing of a new product. * **PublicKeyVersion** (*integer*) -- **[REQUIRED]** Public Key Version provided by Amazon Web Services Marketplace * **Nonce** (*string*) -- (Optional) To scope down the registration to a specific running software instance and guard against replay attacks. Return type: dict Returns: **Response Syntax** { 'PublicKeyRotationTimestamp': datetime(2015, 1, 1), 'Signature': 'string' } **Response Structure** * *(dict) --* * **PublicKeyRotationTimestamp** *(datetime) --* (Optional) Only included when public key version has expired * **Signature** *(string) --* JWT Token **Exceptions** * "MarketplaceMetering.Client.exceptions.InvalidProductCodeExcepti on" * "MarketplaceMetering.Client.exceptions.InvalidRegionException" * "MarketplaceMetering.Client.exceptions.InvalidPublicKeyVersionEx ception" * "MarketplaceMetering.Client.exceptions.PlatformNotSupportedExcep tion" * "MarketplaceMetering.Client.exceptions.CustomerNotEntitledExcept ion" * "MarketplaceMetering.Client.exceptions.ThrottlingException" * "MarketplaceMetering.Client.exceptions.InternalServiceErrorExcep tion" * "MarketplaceMetering.Client.exceptions.DisabledApiException" MarketplaceMetering / Client / batch_meter_usage batch_meter_usage ***************** MarketplaceMetering.Client.batch_meter_usage(**kwargs) Warning: The "CustomerIdentifier" parameter is scheduled for deprecation. Use "CustomerAWSAccountID" instead.These parameters are mutually exclusive. You can't specify both "CustomerIdentifier" and "CustomerAWSAccountID" in the same request. To post metering records for customers, SaaS applications call "BatchMeterUsage", which is used for metering SaaS flexible consumption pricing (FCP). Identical requests are idempotent and can be retried with the same records or a subset of records. Each "BatchMeterUsage" request is for only one product. If you want to meter usage for multiple products, you must make multiple "BatchMeterUsage" calls. Usage records should be submitted in quick succession following a recorded event. Usage records aren't accepted 6 hours or more after an event. "BatchMeterUsage" can process up to 25 "UsageRecords" at a time, and each request must be less than 1 MB in size. Optionally, you can have multiple usage allocations for usage data that's split into buckets according to predefined tags. "BatchMeterUsage" returns a list of "UsageRecordResult" objects, which have each "UsageRecord". It also returns a list of "UnprocessedRecords", which indicate errors on the service side that should be retried. For Amazon Web Services Regions that support "BatchMeterUsage", see BatchMeterUsage Region support. Note: For an example of "BatchMeterUsage", see BatchMeterUsage code example in the *Amazon Web Services Marketplace Seller Guide*.

For identical requests, the API is idempotent and returns the metering record ID. This is used for metering flexible consumption pricing (FCP) Amazon Machine Images (AMI) and container products. "MeterUsage" is authenticated on the buyer's Amazon Web Services account using credentials from the Amazon EC2 instance, Amazon ECS task, or Amazon EKS pod. "MeterUsage" can optionally include multiple usage allocations, to provide customers with usage data split into buckets by tags that you define (or allow the customer to define). Usage records are expected to be submitted as quickly as possible after the event that is being recorded, and are not accepted more than 6 hours after the event. For Amazon Web Services Regions that support "MeterUsage", see MeterUsage Region support for Amazon EC2 and MeterUsage Region support for Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS.
