A simple library allowing you to send a request to the Azure RateCard API through node.js

• You should have an Azure Subscription
• You should have registered an application into the Azure AD tenant related to your subscription as described here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/index?redirectedfrom=MSDN#register-your-client-application-with-azure-ad/
  • Please keep the Application ID
  • Create a Key and keep it as well
  • Since you're working on the Azure AD tenant please keep the AAD tenant ID as well :-)
• You should have added the Azure AD application freshly registered to the IAM of your subscription with sufficient privileges (Reader role is fine)

npm install --save azure-ratecard-api-wrapper

• After doing the prerequisite and installing the package you'll be able to use the only exported method
• GetPriceAndMetadataInformation is exported and expect a parameters object & a callback

let GetPrices = require("azure-ratecard-api-wrapper").GetPriceAndMetadataInformation;

let params =
{
    aad_tenant_id : "AAD_TENANT_ID",
    application_id : "AAD_REGISTERED_APP_ID",
    application_secret : "AAD_REGISTERED_APP_SECRET",
    subscription_id : "AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID",
    offer_id : "MS-AZR-0003P",
    currency : "EUR",
    locale : "en-us",
    region : "FR"
}

GetPrices(params, function(result)
{
    // Handle the error if any.
    if (result instanceof Error)
    {
        console.log("Error : " + result.message);
        return;
    }

    // Work with the result.
    console.log("VM A0 Windows in US West price is "
                    + result.VirtualMachines.A0VMWindows.ComputeHours.USWest.Value
                    + " " + params.currency
                    + " per " + result.VirtualMachines.A0VMWindows.ComputeHours.USWest.Unit);
});

• result object hold the category, subcategory, region and tier for Azure services
• Syntax is result.<category : service or group of services>.<subcategory : tier or service>.<billing unit>.<azure region>.<Unit or Value field>
• The list of all fields is available at https://github.com/olileger/azure-ratecard-api-wrapper/blob/master/lib/references.txt
• The result doesn't include rates tagged as 'Deprecated'

• Tests are implemented using Mocha & Chai
• npm test will execute the test code under \test directory
• getprice-config.js file should be customized with your own values especially for :
  • aad_tenant_id matching your Azure AD directory id
  • application_id matching your Application Id as mentionned in the 'Before Using The Package' section
  • application_secret matching your Application Secret as mentionned in the 'Before Using The Package' section
  • subscription_id matching the Azure subscription id under which the application got the 'Reader' role
