One Datadog connection can cover billing and metrics. Billing creates cost rows. Standard metrics and CI Visibility are external metrics, queried in Advanced Explorer. Classic greys out non-cost metrics. Costory validates each selected scope when you click Validate. A key can have metrics_read and timeseries_query while billing data remains unavailable.
The base URL depends on your Datadog site (for example https://api.datadoghq.com for US1). Costory sends your API key and application key on every request. Enable the matching capabilities under Organization Settings > Application Keys. Costory validates each selected scope when you click Validate.See Query timeseries points for request body fields and response format.
