# Azure Prices Fetch and compare live Azure service pricing using the bundled scripts that call the Azure Retail Prices API. ## Execution Rules Always use the bundled npm script for price lookups and comparisons when terminal execution is available. **DO NOT** call the Azure Retail Prices API directly. You can only use the script to call the API. ## Scripts All scripts live in `./scripts/` and run via npm: ```bash # List sample service names (discover what's available) npm run --prefix ./scripts get-prices # Get prices for a service in a region (default region: eastus) npm run --prefix ./scripts get-prices -- "Virtual Machines" eastus ``` The script accepts two positional arguments: 1. **Service name** (required for price lookup) — e.g. `"Virtual Machines"`, `"SQL Database"`, `"Storage"`, `"Azure Cosmos DB"` 2. **Region** (optional, defaults to `eastus`) — e.g. `eastus`, `westus2`, `westeurope`, `southeastasia` When called with no arguments, it prints a sample of available service names. ## How to Use The npm commands below are the preferred execution path for this skill and should be used instead of direct API calls whenever command execution is available. ### Single region lookup Run the script with the service name and region. Present results in a readable table. ### Cross-region comparison To compare prices across regions, run the script multiple times — once per region — then combine the results into a comparison table. For example, to compare Virtual Ma...
