Origin Cloud publishes the current list price of every billable product in one public price list: instance types, volume storage classes, snapshots, Floating IPs, NAT gateways, network traffic, and observability. You read it over HTTP, without an account or an access token. Use it to estimate costs before you launch anything, or to show current prices on your own website.
How the price list is organized
The following diagram shows how one request to the price list endpoint returns product families, each holding the prices for its products.
Key concepts
List price
The rate every organization is billed at unless it has agreed a different rate with Origin Cloud. The price list is read from the same price records that invoices are calculated from, so a published price and a billed one can’t drift apart. A rate agreed for one organization is never shown in the list.
Product family
A group of products that are billed the same way, such as compute_instance or network_vpc_egress. The list shows the families in a fixed order and leaves out a family that has no current price. See Product families.
Product key
The identifier of what a price bills, for example compute.gp1.core.2, storage.gp1, or network.vpc_egress. Usage and cost reports use the same keys.
Unit
Every price is amount euro per unit_count of unit_type. A unit_count of 3600 with unit_type seconds is an hourly rate. Traffic in gb is counted in decimal gigabytes (10^9 bytes). All amounts exclude VAT.
A product in the price list isn’t necessarily available to order. Selecting a product that is priced but not on sale fails with PRODUCT_UNAVAILABLE.
Ways to access Pricing
HTTP
GET https://api.origincloud.eu/v1/pricing returns the price list as JSON. See Read the price list and the Price list API reference.
The price list isn’t part of the GraphQL API, and the origin CLI doesn’t read it.
