  • Usage monitoring and usage based data pricing
    Patent number: 11869051
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe techniques for monitoring usage of data listings and pricing data listings based thereon. Metadata comprising a pricing plan may be added to a data listing to generate a monetized data listing. The monetized data listing may be imported to the consumer account. The usage data of the monetized data listing and listing data of the monetized data listing may be exported to a data warehousing and analysis module. A usage level for a set of jobs processed using the monetized data listing during a current incremental interval of a current billing interval may be calculated and combined with a usage level of all previous incremental intervals of the current billing interval to generate a cumulative usage record. An invoice for the billing interval may be generated based on the cumulative usage record.
