Billing API ETA

When is billing API going to be available?

And as a sub-question - when is the ability to cap Azure usage to certain amount per month will be available?

There have been no announcements and I don't expect it to be soon. Yeah, I'm disappointed as well. :(

Usage caps are possible as they do it with the 30 day passes. I'm hoping we'll see that functionality available for general usage sometime this year but haven't heard book from MSFT on it. So don't take my opinion as fact. :)

Thanks Brent,

is there at least a way to programmatically download the Excel bill files?

Not that I'm aware of. But that would be a nice stop-gap. I'll pass along the idea. :)

Jason,

 

there are some 3rd party components that can take care of metering, usage and billing. Zuora is one of them and i have good experience with it!
