Can't get max result of spot price history - US-EAST region

When I retrieve the history price of spot for "us-east-f1" or any region in "us-east-1", the result always less than 200 price, I need for single region and single instance type. How can I retrieve a huge number of results? EX:

ec2 = boto3.client('ec2')
t=datetime.datetime.now() - datetime.timedelta(0)
f=datetime.datetime.now() - datetime.timedelta(90)
response= ec2.describe_spot_price_history(InstanceTypes =['c3.4xlarge'],ProductDescriptions = ['Linux/UNIX'], AvailabilityZone = 'us-east-1a', StartTime= f, EndTime = t, MaxResults=1000)
response =response['SpotPriceHistory']

I mean for a single region and instance type, I need the max result to be larger than this.

Edit:

I use paginator to get all result for all available pages:

paginator = ec2.get_paginator('describe_spot_price_history') 
page_iterator = paginator.paginate(StartTime= t, EndTime = f, MaxResults=2000 ) 
for page in page_iterator: 
   output = page['SpotPriceHistory']

However, I still get the same number of results! When I fetch the results of 90 days, I still got have the same amount of results? How to get all results or to get the max amount of price values?

Your code appears to be working just fine, but the start and end timestamps were backwards.

I ran this code:

import boto3
import datetime

start_date = datetime.datetime.now() - datetime.timedelta(90)
end_date = datetime.datetime.now() - datetime.timedelta(0)

ec2 = boto3.client('ec2', region_name='us-east-1')
paginator = ec2.get_paginator('describe_spot_price_history') 
page_iterator = paginator.paginate(InstanceTypes =['c3.4xlarge'],ProductDescriptions = ['Linux/UNIX'], AvailabilityZone = 'us-east-1a', StartTime= start_date, EndTime = end_date, MaxResults=2000 ) 

for page in page_iterator: 
   print page['SpotPriceHistory']

I got back one page that had 122 entries.

The first entry was for 2018-04-01:

{u'Timestamp': datetime.datetime(2018,
    4,
    1,
    4,
    40,
    44, tzinfo=tzutc()), u'AvailabilityZone': 'us-east-1a', u'InstanceType': 'c3.4xlarge', u'ProductDescription': 'Linux/UNIX', u'SpotPrice': '0.840000'
},

The last entry was for 2018-01-02:

{u'Timestamp': datetime.datetime(2018,
    1,
    2,
    0,
    28,
    35, tzinfo=tzutc()), u'AvailabilityZone': 'us-east-1a', u'InstanceType': 'c3.4xlarge', u'ProductDescription': 'Linux/UNIX', u'SpotPrice': '0.840000'
}

This cover the maximum 90 days of data that is available.

To make an API call to another region, specify the region_name:

ec2 = boto3.client('ec2', region_name='ap-southeast-2')

When MaxResults is exceeded, obtain the next set of results by making the same call, but set NextToken to the value returned by NextToken in the previous result set.
