Are there any API's that have up-to-date pricing on Amazon Web Services? Something that can be queried, for example, for the latest price S3 for a given region, or EC2, etc.

thanks

A: 

I don't believe there's an API that covers general current prices for the standard services. However, for EC2 in particular, you can see spot price history so that you don't have to guess what the market price for a spot instance is. More on this is available at:

i wasn't able to find anything for base pricing, however deltacloud is a very interesting project for cross-cloud information and management http://deltacloud.org/
