Retrieving IBM Cloud Object Storage S3 pricing via API

Question

Is there any way that I can retrieve "IBM Cloud Object Storage - S3" pricing figures through some API calls?

The pricing figures that I am looking to retrieve through API are highlighted in this screenshot.

Answer 1

You need to use this request using REST ful:

https://$USERID:$APIKEY8@api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Product_Package/206/getObjectStorageDatacenters

Then you need to look for all the items whose long description proiperty contains "Cleversafe"

e.g.

this is the value for this attribute that you are going to get using the request above:

 {
                "currentPriceFlag": null,
                "hourlyRecurringFee": "0",
                "id": 177743,
                "itemId": 8179,
                "laborFee": "0",
                "locationGroupId": null,
                "onSaleFlag": null,
                "oneTimeFee": "0",
                "quantity": null,
                "recurringFee": "0",
                "setupFee": "0",
                "sort": 0,
                "usageRate": ".03",
                "item": {
                    "capacity": "0",
                    "description": "Standard Cross Region",
                    "id": 8179,
                    "itemTaxCategoryId": 166,
                    "keyName": "STANDARD_CROSS_REGION",
                    "longDescription": "Standard Cross Region - CLEVERSAFE",
                    "softwareDescriptionId": null,
                    "units": "GIGABYTE",
                    "upgradeItemId": null,
                    "itemCategory": {
                        "categoryCode": "object_storage_service",
                        "id": 812,
                        "name": "Object Storage Service",
                        "quantityLimit": 0
                    }
                }
            },

As you can see in the description it says "Standard Cross Region" the usageRate says ".03" and the units say "GYGABYTE" . You just need to look for the other vaules in the response
