Vantage Adds Usage Data to the API

Vantage has enhanced its API by integrating usage data capabilities, allowing users to programmatically access infrastructure consumption metrics like virtual machine running hours or read/write units. This development addresses the limitations of the previous manual method, which required exporting data via the user interface, by enabling integration into other systems and workflows. The new feature allows users to access this data through the /costs API endpoint, which can be leveraged for generating custom reports and automating processes such as internal chargebacks and customer billing. The feature is accessible to all users at no additional cost, including those in the free tier, and requires authentication via a Vantage API token. Comprehensive documentation and resources are available to assist users in utilizing this feature effectively.
