@Anonymous Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Q&A.

Q: You are trying to use Azure Retail Pricing API for Dedicated Hosts and need help with what filters to apply with the API endpoint.

A: Here is an example of how you can get the Retail pricing for Azure Dedicated Host using Azure Retail Pricing API:

http https://prices.azure.com/api/retail/prices?$filter=productName eq 'Easv4 Series Dedicated Host' 

You will need to use productName filter, (which in the example above) will result in Retail Pricing data for Easv4 series dedicated host for all regions and all reservation terms.

Similarly, you can add the armRegionName filter to look for pricing details for a particular region you are interested in:

https://prices.azure.com/api/retail/prices?$filter=productName eq 'Easv4 Series Dedicated Host' and armRegionName eq 'eastus'

The output when formatted in JSON will look like this:

{
  "BillingCurrency": "USD",
  "CustomerEntityId": "Default",
  "CustomerEntityType": "Retail",
  "Items": [
    {
      "currencyCode": "USD",
      "tierMinimumUnits": 0,
      "retailPrice": 6.653,

    },
    {

      "armRegionName": "eastus",
      "location": "US East",
      "effectiveStartDate": "2022-03-01T00:00:00Z",
      "meterId": "0b812d2e-4317-5883-b93e-2449d58a2a30",
      "meterName": "Easv4 Type2",
      "productId": "DZH318Z0CXSZ",
      "skuId": "DZH318Z0CXSZ/00G8",
      "availabilityId": null,
      "productName": "Easv4 Series Dedicated Host",
      "skuName": "Easv4 Type2",
      "serviceName": "Virtual Machines",
      "serviceId": "DZH313Z7MMC8",
      "serviceFamily": "Compute",
      "unitOfMeasure": "1 Hour",
      "type": "Reservation",
      "isPrimaryMeterRegion": true,
      "armSkuName": "Easv4_Type2"
    },

Similarly, you can apply other filters like priceType eq 'Reservation' and so on, to achieve the desired outputs.
