Hm...
   I think from your comment on "7700 line diff" that you're
misunderstanding this bug. The bug is that there is no entry in the EC2
metadata service, not the EC2 api.

These explain the EC2 api, not the metadata service. Unfortunately, to my
knowledge the metadata service is mostly undocumented.

All that said, I'm working on the MD code right now for config-drive work,
so I might make an effort at this.
