Get usage data for subscription by meter

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

You can use the MeterUsageRecord resource collection to get meter usage records of a customer for specific Azure services or resources during the current billing period. This resource collection represents an aggregated total for each meter for the current billing cycle, across your entire Azure plan.

Prerequisites

Credentials as described in Partner Center authentication. This scenario supports authentication with App+User credentials only.
A customer ID (customer-tenant-id). If you don't know the customer's ID, you can look it up in Partner Center by selecting the Customers workspace, then the customer from the customer list, then Account. On the customer’s Account page, look for the Microsoft ID in the Customer Account Info section. The Microsoft ID is the same as the customer ID (customer-tenant-id).
A subscription ID

This new route is equivalent to subscriptions/{subscription-id}/usagerecords/resources, which will continue to function only for Microsoft Azure (MS-AZR-0145P) subscriptions. This new route will support both Microsoft Azure (MS-AZR-0145P) subscriptions and Azure plans. In order to get this information for your Azure plan, you need to switch to this new route. Other than the properties mentioned in the following sections, the response is the same as the old route.

C#

To get meter usage records of a customer for a specific Azure service or resource during the current billing period:

Use your IAggregatePartner.Customers collection to call the ById() method.

Call the Subscriptions property, and UsageRecords, then the Meters property. Finish by calling the Get() or GetAsync() methods.

// IAggregatePartner partnerOperations;
// var selectedCustomerId as string;
// var selectedSubscriptionId as string;

var usageRecords = partnerOperations.Customers.ById(selectedCustomerId).Subscriptions.ById(selectedSubscriptionId).UsageRecords.Meters.Get();

For an example, see the following sample:

Sample: Console test app
Project: PartnerSDK.FeatureSamples
Class: GetSubscriptionUsageRecordsByMeter.cs
