POST /#Action=DescribeSpotPriceHistory

Describes the Spot price history. For more information, see Spot Instance pricing history in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Linux Instances.

When you specify a start and end time, the operation returns the prices of the instance types within that time range. It also returns the last price change before the start time, which is the effective price as of the start time.
