WM · FinOps Profile

Wm Finops

There is no separate FinOps surface for the WM Customer API - WM does not meter or invoice API calls. The API is a free data-access convenience layered on top of an existing commercial waste, recycling, or disposal service contract; the real spend that matters to a WM customer is the underlying hauling/disposal contract itself (base monthly service cost, disposal rate surcharges, and invoice fees - all of which the API surfaces as read data via the Services, Service Pricing, and Invoices & Balance resources) rather than any usage-based charge for calling the API.

Wm Finops is the FinOps profile for WM on the APIs.io network, aligned with the FinOps Foundation Framework.

It defines 3 billable meters, billed in USD, on a monthly (underlying service contract, not the api) cycle, and pricing category not applicable - no api fee.

The profile maps 8 FOCUS columns for cost-allocation reporting.

Tagged areas include Waste Management, Enterprise, FinOps, Cost Management, and FOCUS.
