Recurring Payments – REST API Endpoint

Recurring Payments extends the existing RESTful API built into Easy Digital Downloads. It can be accessed at

http://example.com/edd-api/subscriptions/?key=YOUR_API_KEY&token=YOUR_API_TOKEN

Note: make sure to replace example.com with your own address and the key and token values with your own.

The above example will return a list of all existing subscriptions in the store.

Input

The Recurring Payments REST API accepts 3 options besides key and token: customer, number, and paged.

Customer

The input for a customer can either be an integer representing a customer_id or an email address. The resulting URL will look similar to this:

http://example.com/edd-api/subscriptions/?key=YOUR_API_KEY&token=YOUR_API_TOKEN&customer=2

or

http://example.com/edd-api/subscriptions/?key=YOUR_API_KEY&token=YOUR_API_TOKEN&[email protected]

Number

The number option accepts an integer and returns that many results. An example would look like this:

http://example.com/edd-api/subscriptions/?key=YOUR_API_KEY&token=YOUR_API_TOKEN&number=5

Paged

The paged option allows you to choose a slice of a larger number. For example, if you have 100 entries, and you use number=10 you could pass paged=2 and you could get rows 11-20. That would look like this:

http://example.com/edd-api/subscriptions/?key=YOUR_API_KEY&token=YOUR_API_TOKEN&number=10&paged=2

Output

The output for each subscription contains all information about that subscription as well as about the customer and each renewal (child) payment. Additionally, there’s a value indicating the time spent getting the information for all results. Example:
