How to find the month to date cost of a SoftLayer VSI?

I am trying to construct a REST query to get the month to date cost of my hourly instance at Softlayer. I need to do some comparisons between the VSI and one of my instances at AWS.

I am a little unsure if I should be calling on Softlayer_account or Billing_Item?

This request can help you to get the Date, cost for Virtual Guest’ invoices:

Where:

createDate: The date the invoice item was created.
recurringFee: The recurring fee of the invoice item represented by a floating point decimal in US Dollars ($USD)
