URI Request Parameters

The request does not use any URI parameters.

Request Body

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

TimePeriod

The date range for fetching estimated carbon emissions. The range must include the start date of a month for that month's data to be included in the response.

Type: TimePeriod object

Required: Yes

EmissionsTypes

The emission types to include in the results. If absent, returns TOTAL_LBM_CARBON_EMISSIONS and TOTAL_MBM_CARBON_EMISSIONS emissions types.

Type: Array of strings

Required: No

FilterBy

The criteria for filtering estimated carbon emissions. To determine which dimensions are available to be filtered by, you can first call GetEstimatedCarbonEmissionsDimensionValues

Type: FilterExpression object

Required: No

Granularity

The time granularity for the results. If absent, uses MONTHLY time granularity. The smallest supported granularity for carbon emissions is MONTHLY.

If requesting partial time periods, data will be returned based on the smallest supported granularity. For example, requesting 2025-04-01T00:00:00Z to 2026-04-01T00:00:00Z with YEARLY_CALENDAR granularity will return the last 9 months for 2025 and the first 3 months of 2026.

Type: String

Valid Values: YEARLY_CALENDAR | YEARLY_FISCAL | QUARTERLY_CALENDAR | QUARTERLY_FISCAL | MONTHLY

Required: No

GranularityConfiguration

Configuration for fiscal year calculations when using YEARLY_FISCAL or QUARTERLY_FISCAL granularity.

Type: GranularityConfiguration object

Required: No

GroupBy

The dimensions available for grouping estimated carbon emissions.

Type: Array of strings

Valid Values: USAGE_ACCOUNT_ID | REGION | SERVICE

Required: No

MaxResults

The maximum number of results to return in a single call. Default is 1000.

Type: Integer

Valid Range: Minimum value of 1. Maximum value of 5000.

Required: No

NextToken

The pagination token specifying which page of results to return in the response. If no token is provided, the default page is the first page.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 2000.

Required: No
