Softlayer billing invoice API

We are trying to retrieve the list price of a number of Softlayer servers with discounted pricing using API.

We have a rough idea of how this can be done but would like some confirmation and guidance.

We intend to use the Softlayer billing invoice API to retrieve a list of billing items from each invoice https://softlayer.github.io/reference/services/SoftLayer_Billing_Invoice/ https://softlayer.github.io/reference/services/SoftLayer_Billing_Invoice/getItems/ https://softlayer.github.io/reference/datatypes/SoftLayer_Billing_Invoice_Item/

This gives us the discounted price of the servers' billing items but how can we get the list price?

To obtain the original price of the items can be done using the method getItemPrices of the SoftLayer_Product_Package service for that you have to obtain the packageId and the location of the items.

To get the item package and location Ids you can use this rest api:

Method: GET

https://[username]:[apikey]@api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Billing_Invoice/[billingInvoiceId]/getItems?objectMask=mask[location,billingItem[package]]

The request to get the item prices is like below:

Method: GET

https://[username]:[apikey]@api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Product_Package/[packageId]/getItemPrices

Reference: https://softlayer.github.io/reference/services/SoftLayer_Product_Package/getItemPrices/

Another way you can try is through the order of the servers for that you have to know the orderId and use the service SoftLayer_Billing_Order with the method getObject or getItems.

To get the orderId you could also use the following rest.

Method: GET

https://[username]:[apiKey]@api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Billing_Invoice/[billingInvoiceId]/getItems?objectMask=mask[location,billingItem[orderItem[order],package]]

Search in the response de order object and you will get the orderId.
