IONOS Cloud Billing API (3.8.1)

Download OpenAPI specification:Download

Overview

The IONOS Billing API is a REST API that can be used to retrieve information about resource usage and invoices. Please note that only Contract Holders can log in and retrieve data. Information on usage is provided without liability.

What's New?

The following features have been added to the Billing API:

  • Different response codes for wrong credentials and having lack of grants (401 Unauthorized and 403 Forbidden)
  • Profiles have no subsidiary field anymore
  • /{contractId}/invoices returns amount of each invoice (if permissions allow)
  • Breaking change: IP address instead of MAC address in traffic reports
  • Utilization endpoint with detailed reports of usage over all types of resources
  • Products have a deprecated field that points out if the product item is considered as deprecated
  • New CUBEs and load balancer products were introduced
