Retail prices API (prices.azure.com/api/retail/prices) not returning results for certain consumption meters

Question

The retail prices API is not returning a result for certain meter IDs.

Sample URL with filter: https://prices.azure.com/api/retail/prices?currencyCode='USD'&$filter=meterId%20eq%20'95c1589b-4a62-4fff-aeb0-bb17d0098c9e'%20and%20priceType%20eq%20'Consumption'

Response:

{

"BillingCurrency": "USD",

"CustomerEntityId": "Default",

"CustomerEntityType": "Retail",

"Items": [],

"NextPageLink": null,

"Count": 0

}

I also tried matching ARMsku and other properties:

Standard_DS4_v2

Hi Dugan Sheehan

Please verify that the meter ID you are querying is valid and currently supported by the API. If the meter has been deprecated or is no longer available, the API will not return results for it.

Double-check the filtering criteria you're applying especially priceType. In the latest version of the API, filtering is case-sensitive, so it’s important to use exact values.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/cost-management/retail-prices/azure-retail-prices#api-property-details

It’s possible the meter you're querying falls under a different service category or pricing tier. Please ensure the meter aligns with the expected service filters being used in your request.

Kindly let us know if the above helps or you need further assistance on this issue.
