How can the new billing APIs be used by enterprise customers?

according to here: https://ea.azure.com/helpdocs/reportingAPI

Billing APIs for EA customers can only be accessed through an access key.

But Scott announced the whole new azure Billing APIs in his blog here: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/new-azure-billing-apis-available

Looking through the docs, looks like to call Billing APIs, you will need an AD token. which works fine for non-EA customers.

Are there any samples or docs which shows how EA customers can call the new billing APIs announced?

Hi Hamids,

Thanks for posting here!

The Enterprise customers can access usage and billing information through REST APIs. The Enterprise Administrator needs to enable access to the API by generating a key from the Enterprise Azure portal. Anyone provided with the enrollment number and key can access the API. 

Azure AD Authentication (AD token) is required to access Azure Management Portal. However, EA is portal is different and I don't think it requires Azure AD Authentication. But I'm not sure, as EA portal is beyond the purview of forum support.

I suggest you to open a Billing Support Case  for further assistance in this matter.

For sample code to use Billing API's see this link: https://automaticbillingspec.blob.core.windows.net/spec/UsageDownloadRestfulSampleClient.zip
