description: The Cloudability v3 API is the modern REST interface for the platform. It exposes resource-oriented endpoints
for reporting, dimensions and metrics, business mappings, anomalies, rightsizing recommendations, vendor credentials,
views, dashboards, and budgets. Responses default to JSON (CSV available via Accept header), pagination uses limit and
offset together, and sort accepts +attribute / -attribute syntax. Authentication uses HTTP basic auth with an API token
issued from the Cloudability portal.
