I am using golang sdk to get a list of possible rds instances that I can launch in my account from DescribeOrderableDBInstanceOptionsWithContext golang SDK method. I need to find out the most cost effective instance from the response of previous method/api call.
For that purpose I am trying to integrate with pricing service get products API(https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-cost-management/latest/APIReference/API_pricing_GetProducts.html#API_pricing_GetProducts_ResponseSyntax). I am struggling to parse the response of this API(https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-go/api/service/pricing/#Pricing.GetProductsWithContext) which looks something like below in golang to get the appropriate price of the instances and then select the cheapest one.

Is there any documentation which list down the response structure because currently its a nested map with no structure defined of key and values. Also which field should I consider to get the price for an rds instance ?
AWS OFFICIALUpdated 10 months ago
PriceList []aws.JSONValue is a nested map with no defined structure of keys and values and what is the exact value I should consider for the cost of that instance.
