Amazon API Gateway Pricing

With Amazon API Gateway, you only pay when your APIs are in use. There are no minimum fees or upfront commitments. You pay only for the API calls you receive and the amount of data transferred out. There are no data transfer out charges for Private APIs. However, AWS PrivateLink charges apply when using Private APIs in Amazon API Gateway. Amazon API Gateway also provides optional data caching charged at an hourly rate that varies based on the cache size you select. The API Gateway free tier includes one million API calls per month for up to 12 months.

Amazon API Gateway pricing examples

Edge Optimized and Regional APIs

An Edge Optimized or Regional API that receives five million API calls per month, with each API call returning responses of 3 kilobytes (KB) in size with no caching.

Example below reflects pricing for US East, US West, EU (Ireland)

Amazon API Gateway API call charges = 5 million * $3.50/million = $17.50

Total size of data transfers = 3 KB * 5 million = 15 million/KB = 14.3 GB

Amazon API Gateway data transfer charges = 14.3 GB * $0.09 = $1.29

Total Amazon API Gateway charges = $17.50 + $1.29 = $18.79

Private APIs

A Private API that receives five million API calls, with each API call having a request size of 0.3 kilobytes (KB) and returning responses of 3 kilobytes (KB) and a VPC endpoint provisioned in 1 Availability Zone (AZ) for the whole month (720 hours).

Example below reflects pricing for US East, US West (Oregon)

Amazon API Gateway API call charges = 5 million * $3.50/million = $17.50

Total Amazon API Gateway charges = $17.50

Total size of data transfers (Request + Response) = (3 KB + 0.3 KB) * 5 million = 16.5 million/KB = 15.7 GB

VPC Endpoint charges = 720 hours * $0.01/AZ/hr = $7.20

VPC Endpoint data processing charges = 15.7 GB * $0.01/GB = $0.16

Total Amazon VPC (AWS PrivateLink) charges = $7.20 + $0.16 = $7.36

Total charges = $17.50 + $7.36 = $24.86

Pricing Example with Caching Required (US East, US West, EU (Ireland))

If your API needs 1.5 GB of cache for its data, you can provision a 1.6 GB cache at $0.038/hr.

$0.038 * 24 = $0.912/day
