I believe you're using the wrong API. To get Billing info you must provide billing account name:
GET https://management.azure.com/providers/Microsoft.Billing/billingAccounts/{billingAccountName}?api-version=2019-10-01-preview
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/billing/2019-10-01-preview/billingaccounts/get
PS: you can use the "try it" and test if it will return the information you need.
You can also query usage API and use one of the available dimensions to get cost related info:
POST https://management.azure.com/{scope}/providers/Microsoft.CostManagement/query?api-version=2019-11-01
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/cost-management/query/usage

@DAK the API in the original question I mean , where it gets the list of billing accounts . I managed to get it to work but not on all my customers . Mostly I get empty list as you did . – isioutis May 15 '21 at 14:43

log into your account and go to https://portal.azure.com/#blade/Microsoft_Azure_GTM/ModernBillingMenuBlade/BillingAccounts – Thiago Custodio May 15 '21 at 15:10

@ThiagoCustodio I need to get the billing account list from the API . – isioutis May 16 '21 at 15:56

@isioutis to list you should use the following: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/billing/2019-10-01-preview/billingaccounts/list – Thiago Custodio May 17 '21 at 12:46

@Thiago Custodio That is the problem . The specific API call does not work as expected . It returns empty list ( while in portal I can actually see the billing accounts ) . There is no reference in documentation which permissions or how to setup so that this API call works correctly . – isioutis May 18 '21 at 05:54

@isioutis you should create a service principal and grant this https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/manage/manage-billing-access#give-read-only-access-to-billing – Thiago Custodio May 18 '21 at 12:42

@ThiagoCustodio this doc shows how to add permission on specific subscription . My problem starts higher . I need to get the billing account list so I can get the billing account id/name from API . – isioutis May 25 '21 at 08:07
