Are there Additional costs for getting result data from Athena?

Question

I wanna fetch Athena SQL query results by using AWS SDK. I know that There are cost for querying on Athena and cost for results stored in S3. Then, If I want to fetch data by executing get_query_results, What's the charge, S3 pricing?

Accepted Answer

Hi.

I interpret the documentation like that. [GetQueryResults](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/athena/latest/APIReference/API_GetQueryResults.html) states that the query is not run, the result is just streamed from S3.
The [pricing page](https://aws.amazon.com/athena/pricing/#Additional_costs) states `By default, query results are stored in an S3 bucket of your choice and are also billed at standard S3 rates.`

So I think you will be billed S3 charges for required API actions and data transfer.
