Overview

Constructs a service interface object. Each API operation is exposed as a function on service.

Service Description

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.

Submitting Metering Records

• MeterUsage- Submits the metering record for a Marketplace product. MeterUsage is called from an EC2 instance.

• BatchMeterUsage- Submits the metering record for a set of customers. BatchMeterUsage 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 and Product Code.

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 RegisterUsage operation for software entitlement and metering. Calling RegisterUsage from containers running outside of Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECR) isn't supported. Free and BYOL products for ECS aren't required to call RegisterUsage, but you can do so if you want to receive usage data in your seller reports. For more information on using the RegisterUsage operation, see Container-Based Products.

BatchMeterUsage 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 BatchMeterUsage. You can also use CloudTrail to audit records over time. For more information, see the AWS CloudTrail User Guide .

Sending a Request Using MarketplaceMetering

var marketplacemetering = new AWS.MarketplaceMetering();
marketplacemetering.batchMeterUsage(params, function (err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Locking the API Version

In order to ensure that the MarketplaceMetering object uses this specific API, you can construct the object by passing the apiVersion option to the constructor:

var marketplacemetering = new AWS.MarketplaceMetering({apiVersion: '2016-01-14'});

You can also set the API version globally in AWS.config.apiVersions using the marketplacemetering service identifier:

AWS.config.apiVersions = {
  marketplacemetering: '2016-01-14',
  // other service API versions
};

var marketplacemetering = new AWS.MarketplaceMetering();

Method Details

batchMeterUsage(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

BatchMeterUsage is called from a SaaS application listed on the AWS Marketplace to post metering records for a set of customers.

For identical requests, the API is idempotent; requests can be retried with the same records or a subset of the input records.

Every request to BatchMeterUsage is for one product. If you need to meter usage for multiple products, you must make multiple calls to BatchMeterUsage.

BatchMeterUsage can process up to 25 UsageRecords at a time.

registerUsage(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Paid container software products sold through AWS Marketplace must integrate with the AWS Marketplace Metering Service and call the RegisterUsage operation for software entitlement and metering. Calling RegisterUsage from containers running outside of ECS is not currently supported. Free and BYOL products for ECS aren't required to call RegisterUsage, but you may choose to do so if you would like to receive usage data in your seller reports. The sections below explain the behavior of RegisterUsage. RegisterUsage performs two primary functions: metering and entitlement.

• Entitlement: RegisterUsage allows you to verify that the customer running your paid software is subscribed to your product on AWS Marketplace, enabling you to guard against unauthorized use. Your container image that integrates with RegisterUsage is only required to guard against unauthorized use at container startup, as such a CustomerNotSubscribedException/PlatformNotSupportedException will only be thrown on the initial call to RegisterUsage. Subsequent calls from the same Amazon ECS task instance (e.g. task-id) will not throw a CustomerNotSubscribedException, even if the customer unsubscribes while the Amazon ECS task is still running.

• Metering: RegisterUsage meters software use per ECS task, per hour, with usage prorated to the second. A minimum of 1 minute of usage applies to tasks that are short lived. For example, if a customer has a 10 node ECS cluster and creates an ECS service configured as a Daemon Set, then ECS will launch a task on all 10 cluster nodes and the customer will be charged: (10 * hourly_rate). Metering for software use is automatically handled by the AWS Marketplace Metering Control Plane -- your software is not required to perform any metering specific actions, other than call RegisterUsage once for metering of software use to commence. The AWS Marketplace Metering Control Plane will also continue to bill customers for running ECS tasks, regardless of the customers subscription state, removing the need for your software to perform entitlement checks at runtime.

Service Reference:

• RegisterUsage

Examples:

Calling the registerUsage operation

var params = {
  ProductCode: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
  PublicKeyVersion: 'NUMBER_VALUE', /* required */
  Nonce: 'STRING_VALUE'
};
marketplacemetering.registerUsage(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

• params (Object) (defaults to: {}) —
  • ProductCode — (String)

    Product code is used to uniquely identify a product in AWS Marketplace. The product code should be the same as the one used during the publishing of a new product.

  • PublicKeyVersion — (Integer)

    Public Key Version provided by AWS Marketplace

  • Nonce — (String)

    (Optional) To scope down the registration to a specific running software instance and guard against replay attacks.

Callback (callback):

• function(err, data) { ... }

  Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

  Context (this):

  • (AWS.Response) —

    the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

  Parameters:

  • err (Error) —

    the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

  • data (Object) —

    the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs. The data object has the following properties:

      (Optional) Only included when public key version has expired

    • Signature — (String)

      JWT Token

Returns:

• (AWS.Request) —

  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

• params (Object) (defaults to: {}) —
  • RegistrationToken — (String)

    When a buyer visits your website during the registration process, the buyer submits a registration token through the browser. The registration token is resolved to obtain a CustomerIdentifier and product code.

Callback (callback):
