I'm using several Google APIs for my services and one of the boring tasks I need to execute everyday is to enter in Google Developers Console and check my current month balance. I'm wondering if there's an API in Google to check the current month costs without having to enter in IAM everytime. I've checked that Google Billing API doesn't have such a functionality but a lot of (unuseful) services like returning the name of the invoicing account or the name of the project.

The recommended way to get this information is via a BigQuery export. You can configure it so that detailed billing data is automatically exported for you to query. Here are instructions on how to set up BigQuery export.
Another option is to have the billing data exported to a CSV or JSON file that is periodically placed in a GCS bucket. However, this type of export does not provide you with as detailed of information as the BigQuery export does. Here are instructions on how to set up GCS export.
