  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.

      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.

      The legacy v1 API remains available for older integrations covering
      cost reporting and dimensions. Apptio recommends migrating to v3 for
      new integrations. v1 uses an api_key query parameter for authentication.

      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.

      Business Mappings define rule-based dimensions that allocate spend to
      cost centers, products, environments, or applications. The API lets
      callers list, create, update and delete mappings, manage rule order
      and statements, and preview the resulting allocation against billing
      data.

      The Anomalies API exposes detected cost anomalies on dimensions such
      as service, account, and business mapping. Callers can query open
      anomalies, retrieve baseline / actual cost deltas, classify anomalies,
      and acknowledge them through the API.
