Show HN: AWS EC2 Pricing API – live spot pricing across regions (runs-on.com)
2 points by crohr 6 months ago | hide | past | favorite | 2 comments
Up-to-date API to retrieve available instance types per region and platform, as well as up to date on-demand and spot pricing across every region and availability zones. Also includes Single-Thread CPU performance and general info about instance types (vCPUs, Memory, GPUs, etc).

The database is updated every hour (about 80k data points).



Why not just use the API that AWS provides for this: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/API_D...?


It doesn't provide the on-demand price, nor the instance specs. Also requires authentication. With this API I can also ask for pricing across a whole family type (e.g. `c7a`).
