## How to Use the Destinations API
|
|
|
|
Use the WebFetch tool with these endpoints:
|
|
|
|
**Recent updates:** `https://destinations-api.telecomsxchange.com/updates/recent?days=<N>`
|
|
**Historical updates:** `https://destinations-api.telecomsxchange.com/updates/?year=<YYYY>&country=<NAME>&change_type=<TYPE>`
|
|
**Summary statistics:** `https://destinations-api.telecomsxchange.com/updates/summary`
|
|
|
|
## Analysis Framework
|
|
|
|
When analyzing billing trends:
|
|
|
|
1. **Collect update data** - Gather recent and historical changes
|
|
2. **Categorize changes:**
|
|
- Improvements: Better billing (e.g., 60/60 → 60/1)
|
|
- Deteriorations: Worse billing (e.g., 60/1 → 60/60)
|
|
- Neutral: No cost impact
|
|
3. **Quantify impact** - Calculate cost differences
|
|
4. **Identify patterns** - Geographic, temporal, carrier-specific
|
|
5. **Make predictions** - Forecast likely future changes
|
|
|
|
## Billing Change Classification
|
|
|
|
**Major Improvement (★★★★★):**
|
|
- 60/60 → 1/1 (per-minute to per-second)
|
|
- 60/60 → 60/1 (per-minute to per-second increments)
|
|
|
|
**Minor Improvement (★★★):**
|
|
- 60/60 → 30/30 (better granularity)
|
|
- 30/1 → 1/1 (better initial interval)
|
|
|
|
**Deterioration (☆):**
|
|
- 1/1 → 60/1 (worse initial charge)
|
|
- 60/1 → 60/60 (worse increments)
|
|
|
|
