How to programmatically fetch billing details for a GCP VM instance?

Question

I went through the GCP documentation and couldn't find much details. The docs talk about exporting the billing information and using it but that requires certain IAM permissions that I do not have. Is there an API way of fetching the bill/invoice details?

Answer 1

These are all the APIs related to billing [1] . As you can see there, they require certain IAM permissions that you may not have.

If you want, you can estimate pretty accurately the cost of a GCE VM [2] using the calculator [3] .
