Get ec2 price right from your terminal
curl 'https://ec2.shop'
If you prefer json, use:
curl -H 'accept: json' 'https://ec2.shop'
# or simply
curl -H 'accept: json' 'https://ec2.shop?json'
If you want to search for a certain instance:
curl 'https://ec2.shop?filter=i3'
curl 'https://ec2.shop?filter=ssd'
We also support expression in filter so you can do comparison like this. Simply
pass an expression in filter query
curl 'https://ec2.shop?filter=ssd,mem>=32,mem<=64,cpu>=2,cpu<=4'
The pharse ssd,mem>=32,mem<=64,cpu>=2,cpu<=4 can also be entered into our
search box to filter the desire instance.
We support below field:
- mem: filter based on memory in Gib
- cpu: filter based on cpu
- price: hourly price
- spotprice: hourly spot price
Use - operator to exclude a certain type of server. Example, to exclude t3
instance:
-t3,price<0.1,mem>=2
To sort the instance, pass a sort query to pick which field and direction to
sort on
curl 'https://ec2.shop?json&sort=price'
To sort in reverse direction(high to low) we can add a - sign:
curl 'https://ec2.shop?json&sort=-price'
We can also sort by multiple field:
curl 'https://ec2.shop?json&sort=-price,mem'
sort and filter can mixed together such as:
curl 'https://ec2.shop?filter=ssd,mem>=32,mem<=64,cpu>=2,cpu<=4'
AWS pricing page is very slow, sometime just timing out say "Fail to load price". I know similar service like https://ec2instances.info/ but it's also slow and didn't have curl-able interface.
All I want is a way to compare/check price right from terminal. The URL
need to be short and easy to remember, thus ec2.shop.
It's very accurate for on-demand instance, as accurate as whatever on this page: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/on-demand/
For spot instances, The price is refresh every 2.5 minutes from this page: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/spot/pricing/
The spot instances price may change in 5 minutes, so we migh have a slightly outdate but given our fetch schedule(twice per 5 minutes) I think we're pretty good there.
I need it myself and it's very cheap to keep it running mngiven a majority of request are cached at Cloudflare.
Otherwise, you can run it yourself. I had Dockerfile, k8s, makefile to help you run it.
We support either text base or json base response. text base is useful
in text processing with awk. text base is default mode. To use JSON,
simply pass a accept: json header.
curl -H 'accept: json' 'https://ec2.shop'
To filter out response result:
Example, to find all *.large instance type:
curl -H 'accept: json' 'https://ec2.shop?filter=.large'
To find instance support ssd:
curl -H 'accept: json' 'https://ec2.shop?filter=ssd'
The filter parameter is an or query type, so you can do this:
curl 'https://ec2.shop?filter=t2.medium,t3.medium'
The text response looks like this:
Instance Type Memory vCPUs Storage Network Price Monthly Spot Price
c5d.9xlarge 72 GiB 36 vCPUs 1 x 900 NVMe SSD 10 Gigabit 1.7280 1261.440 0.7175
m5dn.24xlarge 384 GiB 96 vCPUs 4 x 900 NVMe SSD 100 Gigabit 6.5280 4765.440 1.6323
m6g.large 8 GiB 2 vCPUs EBS only Up to 10 Gigabit 0.0770 56.210 0.0357
m5.xlarge 16 GiB 4 vCPUs EBS only Up to 10 Gigabit 0.1920 140.160 0.0806
a1.metal 32 GiB 16 vCPUs EBS only Up to 10 Gigabit 0.4080 297.840 0.1343
All price are for Linux instance. For JSON, the response contains these:
{
"InstanceType": "r3.xlarge",
"Memory": "30.5 GiB",
"VCPUS": 4,
"Storage": "1 x 80 SSD",
"Network": "Moderate",
"Cost": 0.333,
"MonthlyPrice": 243.09,
"SpotPrice": "0.0650"
}
Unfortunately the SpotPrice is a string :-( because sometime it
contains this text: "SpotPrice": "NA" when that instance type isn't
available for purchase on Spot Instance(as in, they are only available
for on-demand).
