Answer 1

You can use Boto to connect to AWS using Python.

In general you need to cover several items:

1. Authentication - You'll need to set up your credentials to be able to connect to AWS. Check the Documentation
2. Enable DBR or CUR reports in the billing console. This will export your monthly billing information to S3. Check the Documentation
3. Once ready use Boto3 to download the reports and import them to DB, ES, whatever you're working with to process large excel files. Check the Documentation

Good luck!

EDIT : For previous months you can just go to console -> bills and download the reports from the console directly, then process them in your application.
