AWS Marketplace Metering Service

This reference provides descriptions of the low-level AWS Marketplace Metering Service API.

AWS Marketplace sellers can use this API to submit usage data for custom usage dimensions.

For information on the permissions you need to use this API, see AWS Marketplace metering and entitlement API permissions

in the AWS Marketplace Seller Guide.

Submitting Metering Records

• MeterUsage - Submits the metering record for an AWS Marketplace product. meter_usage is called from an EC2 instance or a container running on EKS or ECS.
• BatchMeterUsage - Submits the metering record for a set of customers. batch_meter_usage is called from a software-as-a-service (SaaS) application.

Accepting New Customers

• ResolveCustomer - 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 the browser. The Registration Token is resolved through this API to obtain a CustomerIdentifier along with the CustomerAWSAccountId

  and ProductCode.

Entitlement and Metering for Paid Container Products

• Paid container software products sold through AWS Marketplace must integrate with the AWS Marketplace Metering Service and call the register_usage operation for software entitlement and metering. Free and BYOL products for Amazon ECS or Amazon EKS aren't required to call register_usage, but you can do so if you want to receive usage data in your seller reports. For more information on using the register_usage operation, see Container-Based Products.

batch_meter_usage API calls are captured by AWS CloudTrail. You can use Cloudtrail to verify that the SaaS metering records that you sent are accurate by searching for records with the eventName of batch_meter_usage. You can also use CloudTrail to audit records over time. For more information, see the AWSCloudTrail User Guide.
