Create subscription

Create a subscription.


Prerequisites

  • Credentials as described in Authentication
  • A customer tenant identifier
  • A product part number

C#

To create subscription, first instantiate SubscriptionDetailed and set CustomerTenant property with the instantiated CustomerTenantReference with its property Id set to your tenant id. Then set Product property with the instantiated ProductReference with its property PartNumber set with the part number value.

Next, get the instance of CrayonApiClient and then get the client token using the instance. This client token will be passed when creating the subscription.

Finally, call Subscriptions.Create() method to create subscription by passing the token and the instance of SubscriptionDetailed.

var subscription = new SubscriptionDetailed
{
        Name = "My subscription",
        Quantity = 1,
        CustomerTenant = new CustomerTenantReference
        {
                Id = <tenant id>
        },
        Product = new ProductReference
        {
                PartNumber = "<part number>"
        }
};

var client = new CrayonApiClient("https://api.crayon.com/");
var token = client.Tokens.GetUserToken(clientId, clientSecret, userName, password).GetData().AccessToken;
var result = client.Subscriptions.Create(token, subscription);
