Account Calculation with {providerAccountId}

To run a new calculation, you will POST a payload containing the calculation criteria and inputs, and a CalculatedCost object will be returned. Note that these parameters are part of the request body, not the query string.

Examples

Example 1 - Calculate last month's bill

POST /rest/v1/accounts/62d07619-06fd-4a28-9376-62c86c7811d5/calculate/

Below is a sample POST request based on the above accountId.

{  
  "fromDateTime" : "2013-01-08",  
  "toDateTime" : "2014-01-12",  
  "billingPeriod": true,  
  "minimums" : true,  
  "detailLevel" : "RATE",  
  "groupBy" : "MONTH"  
}  

And here's the response:

To get different result aggregations, modify the groupBy and detailLevel values. For example, using "groupBy":"HOUR" and "detailLevel":"CHARGE_TYPE" for the calculation above will return costs and usage broken down by charge type for each hour:

"items": [  
    {  
      "fromDateTime": "2013-01-08T00:00:00-08:00",  
      "toDateTime": "2013-01-08T01:00:00-08:00",  
      "quantityKey": "minimum",  
      "rateAmount": 0.00616,  
      "itemQuantity": 1,  
      "cost": 0.00616  
    },  
    {  
      "fromDateTime": "2013-01-08T00:00:00-08:00",  
      "toDateTime": "2013-01-08T01:00:00-08:00",  
      "quantityKey": "tax",  
      "rateAmount": 0.0000096,  
      "itemQuantity": 54.55296,  
      "cost": 0.0005236  
    },  
    ...  
]
