Worldnewsapi Finops

FinOps view of World News API spend. Cost is driven by point (credit) consumption metered per API call against a daily allowance, plus a fixed monthly subscription per plan tier. Above the included daily allowance, paid plans bill per additional point at a declining per-point rate as the tier rises (Reporter $0.003, Journalist $0.0025, Editor $0.002). Because different endpoints and parameter combinations consume different point amounts, cost is best controlled by minimizing wasted calls - caching geo-coordinate lookups, requesting only the fields and result counts needed, and constraining location, date, and language filters.
