Cost Report Data Is Now Available in the Vantage API

Vantage has launched the beta version of its Cost Report API, allowing users to programmatically access structured cost data from Vantage without additional charges. This new feature addresses previous challenges faced by teams who had to manually extract AWS cost data or write custom scripts for integration into accounting or analysis systems, often incurring costs with AWS Cost Explorer API. By enabling users to create specific Cost Reports through the Vantage console, the API provides a unified and free method to query service-level cost data in JSON format, creating a single source of truth that mirrors the Vantage Console view. This functionality is available to any Vantage user with a connected AWS account, although users must remain within their tier limits to avoid errors. While the API currently supports cost data retrieval at a daily granularity, future enhancements are planned, including cost report creation via the API, access to AWS service cost subcategories, and forecasted costs.
