I'm trying to look up the previous date through API but it's failing.

Question

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/consumption/usage-details/list?tabs=HTTP#billingprofileusagedetailslist-modern

I'm trying to look up the data from the previous period, not the current month, through this API.

It is written in the document that billing periods can be set in the 'SCOPE' parameter, and in this way, the API is called as follows, but only the current month's data is searched.

https://management.azure.com/providers/Microsoft.Billing/billingAccounts/{myBillingAccountName}/billingProfiles/{myBillingProfileName}/providers/Microsoft.Billing/billingPeriods/202307/providers/Microsoft.Consumption/usageDetails?api-version=2023-05-01

Please ask what kind of problem it is and answer it.

Hi @Sunyoup Park (박선엽)

This API is being deprecated. Instead of using it, have you attempted using the Generate Cost Details Report API instead? So instead of the above request, you would do

POST https://management.azure.com/providers/Microsoft.Billing/billingAccounts/{billingAccountId}/providers/Microsoft.CostManagement/generateCostDetailsReport?api-version=2023-08-01

{
  "metric": "ActualCost",
  "billingPeriod": "202307"
}

Where billingAccountId is the billing id from Cost+Management properties page.
