Description
AWS SDK for JavaScript MarketplaceMetering Client for Node.js, Browser and React Native.
AWS Marketplace Metering Service
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.
For information on the permissions you need to use this API, see AWS Marketplace metering and entitlement API permissions in the AWS Marketplace Seller Guide.
Submitting Metering Records
-
MeterUsage - Submits the metering record for an AWS Marketplace product.
MeterUsage
is called from an EC2 instance or a container running on EKS or ECS. -
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
along with the
CustomerAWSAccountId
andProductCode
.
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. Free and BYOL products for Amazon ECS or Amazon EKS aren't required to callRegisterUsage
, but you can do so if you want to receive usage data in your seller reports. For more information on using theRegisterUsage
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.
Installing
To install the this package, simply type add or install @aws-sdk/client-marketplace-metering using your favorite package manager:
npm install @aws-sdk/client-marketplace-metering
yarn add @aws-sdk/client-marketplace-metering
pnpm add @aws-sdk/client-marketplace-metering
Getting Started
Import
The AWS SDK is modulized by clients and commands.
To send a request, you only need to import the MarketplaceMeteringClient
and
the commands you need, for example BatchMeterUsageCommand
:
// ES5 example
const { MarketplaceMeteringClient, BatchMeterUsageCommand } = require("@aws-sdk/client-marketplace-metering");
// ES6+ example
import { MarketplaceMeteringClient, BatchMeterUsageCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-marketplace-metering";
Usage
To send a request, you:
- Initiate client with configuration (e.g. credentials, region).
- Initiate command with input parameters.
- Call
send
operation on client with command object as input. - If you are using a custom http handler, you may call
destroy()
to close open connections.
// a client can be shared by different commands.
const client = new MarketplaceMeteringClient({ region: "REGION" });
const params = {
/** input parameters */
};
const command = new BatchMeterUsageCommand(params);
Async/await
We recommend using await operator to wait for the promise returned by send operation as follows:
// async/await.
try {
const data = await client.send(command);
// process data.
} catch (error) {
// error handling.
} finally {
// finally.
}
Async-await is clean, concise, intuitive, easy to debug and has better error handling as compared to using Promise chains or callbacks.
Promises
You can also use Promise chaining to execute send operation.
client.send(command).then(
(data) => {
// process data.
},
(error) => {
// error handling.
}
);
Promises can also be called using .catch()
and .finally()
as follows:
client
.send(command)
.then((data) => {
// process data.
})
.catch((error) => {
// error handling.
})
.finally(() => {
// finally.
});
Callbacks
We do not recommend using callbacks because of callback hell, but they are supported by the send operation.
// callbacks.
client.send(command, (err, data) => {
// process err and data.
});
v2 compatible style
The client can also send requests using v2 compatible style. However, it results in a bigger bundle size and may be dropped in next major version. More details in the blog post on modular packages in AWS SDK for JavaScript
import * as AWS from "@aws-sdk/client-marketplace-metering";
const client = new AWS.MarketplaceMetering({ region: "REGION" });
// async/await.
try {
const data = await client.batchMeterUsage(params);
// process data.
} catch (error) {
// error handling.
}
// Promises.
client
.batchMeterUsage(params)
.then((data) => {
// process data.
})
.catch((error) => {
// error handling.
});
// callbacks.
client.batchMeterUsage(params, (err, data) => {
// process err and data.
});
Troubleshooting
When the service returns an exception, the error will include the exception information, as well as response metadata (e.g. request id).
try {
const data = await client.send(command);
// process data.
} catch (error) {
const { requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId } = error.$metadata;
console.log({ requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId });
/**
* The keys within exceptions are also parsed.
* You can access them by specifying exception names:
* if (error.name === 'SomeServiceException') {
* const value = error.specialKeyInException;
* }
*/
}
