Azure API - how to find out if a VM is running or deallocated

I am trying to generate a report of usage on a calendar and the missing metric is running/stop VS deallocated time.

Looking at the API documentation there does not seems to be a straight forward way to get this information from neither the vm api or the cost management.

Any suggestions on how to get this metric?

Powershell. Look for the PowerState status.

Get-AzVM -Status

C#

ResourceId vmResourceId = ResourceId.FromString(vmResourceId);
var authenticated = Azure.Configure().Authenticate(Common.Credentials);
vmInner = await authenticated.WithSubscription(vmResourceId.SubscriptionId).VirtualMachines.Inner.GetAsync(vmResourceId.ResourceGroupName, vmResourceId.Name, InstanceViewTypes.InstanceView);
PowerState = vmInner.InstanceView.Statuses.Where(i => i.Code.Contains("PowerState")).FirstOrDefault()?.DisplayStatus;

API - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/compute/virtualmachines/instanceview. Look for the statuses array where code = "PowerState/running".

GET https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/{vmName}/instanceView?api-version=2019-07-01
