How to access RDS running hours using boto3

Question

Hi Team,
I want to extract the running hours of RDS instances from past 6 months. I used the get_cost_and_usage API and filters as follows:

Filter={
                'And':[{
                'Dimensions':{
                    'Key':'SERVICE',
                    'Values':['Amazon Relational Database Service']
                }},
                {
                    'Dimensions':{
                    'Key':'USAGE_TYPE_GROUP',
                    'Values':['RDS: Running Hours']
                }
                }               
                ]       
            }

It does brings the RDS cost, but brings no output for 'DimensionValueAttributes': [].

Please assists.

Hey Guys.. I found the answer... 
I was missing the Metrics type, I just included 'AmortizedCost' hence it was showing only cost and not the usage. So Added both 'UsageQuantity' & 'AmortizedCost', now get both usage and cost associated with RDS.

Filter={
                'And':[{
                'Dimensions':{
                    'Key':'SERVICE',
                    'Values':['Amazon Relational Database Service']
                }},
                {
                    'Dimensions':{
                    'Key':'USAGE_TYPE_GROUP',
                    'Values':['RDS: Running Hours']
                }
                }               
                ]       
            }
