Get prices for Microsoft Azure

Applies to: Partner Center | Partner Center for Microsoft Cloud for US Government

How to get an Azure Rate Card with real-time prices for an Azure offer. Azure pricing is quite dynamic and changes frequently.

To track usage and help predict your monthly bill and the bills for individual customers, you can combine this Azure Rate Card query to get prices for Microsoft Azure with a request to Get a customer's utilization records for Azure.

Prices differ by market and currency, and this API takes location into consideration. By default, the API uses your partner profile settings in Partner Center and your browser language, and those settings are customizable. The location awareness is especially relevant if you manage sales in multiple markets from a single, centralized office. For more information, see URI parameters.

C#

To obtain the Azure Rate Card, call the IAzureRateCard.Get method to return an AzureRateCard resource that contains the Azure prices.

// IAggregatePartner partnerOperations;

var azureRateCard = partner.RateCards.Azure.Get();

Sample: Console test app. Project: Partner Center SDK Samples Class: GetAzureRateCard.cs
