CUSTOMER CHOICE
Third-party accessibility
Create an OAuth client in the Zuora UI and use the resulting bearer token. Organization headers and tenant/entity permissions scope calls; third-party distribution and commercial enrollment conditions remain unresolved.
Confirm who can connect, who owns the credentials and which uses are permitted. Customer consent and provider approval can be separate requirements; the selected plan and contract still matter.
READ / INTEGRATE
API and export routes
Subscription list/object-query routes expose structured records, with lookup and pagination options. Current API minor versions can change available fields; Data Query and AQuA are separate extraction mechanisms not credited as universally entitled here.
| Access route | Authentication | Credential owner | Provider approval | Access requirement | Last checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zuora scoped API access | OAuth client credentials | Customer | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | 2026-10-16 |
Availability depends on your product, plan and agreement. See the documentation below for the requirements of each route.
ECONOMIC ACCESS
Cost, authentication and limits
Minimum subscription, API access fees and separately entitled export charges remain unresolved. Zuora publishes tenant request and concurrency limits, varying by sandbox/production type.
Check API entitlement, credential ownership and rate limits for the route you intend to use. Include review fees, customer-plan upgrades and ongoing access charges in the total.
ACT FROM OUTSIDE
External action
Create Subscription documents POST /v1/subscriptions. It can affect billing and collection, so request validation and explicit financial-action approval are separate from read access.
Validate the supported operation, acting identity and permission scope (read access does not imply write permission). Ambiguous retries and revoked credentials also affect whether an external workflow can run safely.
KEEP ACCESS USEFUL
Continuity
Current subscription queries can rebuild selected state. The assessed route does not establish a native insert/update/delete feed or retained replay; production throttling is documented with reset headers and backoff guidance.
CDC, deletions and recovery

Useful ongoing access includes corrections and deletions, not only the first export. A failed request, changed filter or lost resource permission should not be interpreted as a deleted record.
LEAVE WITH YOUR DATA
Data exit and portability
Subscription records can be copied externally before cancellation. Complete account history, payment credentials and native pricing definitions need additional extraction evidence; customer cancellation rights remain unresolved.
Test the output against the destination’s required fields and history. Check stable identifiers, relationships, attachments and extraction time; a sample file proves only the coverage of that sample.
BUILD / INSPECT / REUSE
Business logic and customization
External apps can orchestrate subscription operations. Native workflow and billing-definition ownership or independent execution remain unresolved (a portable record is not a portable billing service).
Custom API access, ownership of workflows and the right to export their definitions are separate questions. A custom-app capability alone does not establish that business rules can move to another system.
