Hello @Sander, Carsten
The Azure Pricing Calculator pulls per-unit pricing for each product from the Azure Retail Pricing API based on different product parameters selected by the user, such as region, size, operating system, tier, and other specific features
However, there might be cases where certain configurations, like the D8lds v5 Windows instance, are not listed in the API but are available in the calculator.
This discrepancy could be due to several reasons:
API Version Differences: The API version you are using might not include the latest updates or specific configurations available in the Azure Pricing Calculator.
Filtering and Case Sensitivity: The API's filtering mechanism is case-sensitive and might not return results if the filter values are not correctly specified3.
Data Synchronization: There might be a lag in data synchronization between the Azure Pricing Calculator and the Azure Retail Prices API.
To address this issue, you can try the following:
Ensure you are using the latest API version (2023-01-01-preview) and check the case sensitivity of your filter values.
Verify the configuration parameters in the API request to match those in the Azure Pricing Calculator.
Reach out to Azure support for further assistance if the issue persists.
