There are some changes to the way access is granted and controlled to vendor applications using API-NG. The key changes are: 

  • The introduction of Subscription Tokens, to provide a single identifier for a customer's subscription to an application.
  • The use of Application Keys, which replace product and vendor software IDs to control API access.

A customer with an existing Betfair account visits vendorapp.com and wants to sign up for the vendor application.  The customer then wants to purchase a 12 month subscription to vendorapp, so they purchase this from vendorapp.com. vendorapp.com then call the Account API-NG operation getApplicationSubscriptionToken, passing in their Application Key, a valid session token (to prove that they own that app key) and the length of the subscription required. Betfair return to the vendor a Subscription Token of the form ABCD-EFGH-IJKL. The subscription is then activated by calling activateApplicationSubscription token, passing in the subscription token and a valid session ID for the customer (in the header).Image Removed
