• Press “Subscribe”

  • An email will be sent to an administrator at Lecot that needs to approve the subscription

  • An email will be sent to the email address that was provided to follow up from there

• You will be redirected to a page where you can follow up your status:

• You need to wait untill you get an email with the confirmation that the plan is approved.

• When the subscription request is approved, you will also get an email on the provided email address

• In your profile on the Developer Platform, you will also see the information:

APIs

On the page of the APIs, you can see all of the APIs that are made publicly available by Lecot. There are possibly more APIs that are only visible if you have the correct subscription.

Every API has a description that explains what the API can be used for.

When clicking on “Go to API” for an API, some more details becomes available in the API Details page.

API Details

On the left of the page you can find the different endpoints you can execute. Clicking on an endpoint will open more details for that. You can find a description at the top, lower you can find information on the request body, response body, HTTP status return codes, error messages, etc.

There is also the “Try this operation” button that will help you actually execute the endpoint.

Using the API

To use the API, you have to subscribe to a plan. Most of the (if not all) APIs will require a subscription. Subscriptions are free, but give you access to a certain set of APIs and endpoints.

You can first try the endpoint using the Developer Console to see the possible inputs and outputs.

In the screenshot above, you cannot select a plan and the Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key is empty; this is the look you get when you are not signed in to an account with an active subscription plan.

When you are signed in to an account with a subscription plan, you will see:

In the screenshot above, you can see that the subscription key is set to the primary key. And the same key is also automatically provied in the field for Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key.

In the HTTP request block, you can change from “HTTP” to another method if you want to see a code example to execute it. This can sometimes help to implement the API in your code. If you are authenticated with a correct subscription key, you will automatically see that added too.
