description: Cloudability (an IBM Apptio product) is a cloud cost management and FinOps platform providing cost visibility,
  optimization recommendations, anomaly detection, and governance across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and other multi-cloud environments.
  The Cloudability API v3 is REST-oriented with JSON responses, HTTP basic authentication using an API token, cursor-style
  limit/offset pagination, and operations for reporting, business mappings, rightsizing recommendations, anomalies, vendor
  credentials, and views.

  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.

  description: The Reporting endpoints under v3 build cost-and-usage queries against Cloudability's normalized billing dataset.
    Callers select metrics (unblended cost, amortized cost, usage_quantity), dimensions (vendor, account_id, service_name,
    business_mapping, region), filters, and date ranges to produce tabular results that can be exported as JSON or CSV.
