Get a list of customers

Applies to: Partner Center | Partner Center operated by 21Vianet | Partner Center for Microsoft Cloud for US Government

This article describes how to get a collection of resources that represents all of a partner's customers.

Tip

You can also perform this operation in Partner Center. On the Home page, select the Customers workspace then view customers using the Customers list in the menu.

Prerequisites

• Credentials as described in Partner Center authentication. This scenario supports authentication with both standalone App and App+User credentials.

C#

To get a list of all customers:

1. Use the IAggregatePartner.Customers collection to create an IPartner object.

2. Retrieve the customer list using the Query() or QueryAsync() methods. (For instructions on creating a query, see the QueryFactory class.)

// IAggregatePartner partnerOperations;

// All the operations executed on this partner operation instance will share the same correlation Id but will differ in request Id
IPartner scopedPartnerOperations = partnerOperations.With(RequestContextFactory.Instance.Create(Guid.NewGuid()));

// read customers into chunks of 40s
var customersBatch = scopedPartnerOperations.Customers.Query(QueryFactory.Instance.BuildIndexedQuery(40));
var customersEnumerator = scopedPartnerOperations.Enumerators.Customers.Create(customersBatch);

For an example, see the following:

• Sample: Console test app
• Project: PartnerSDK.FeatureSamples
• Class: CustomerPaging.cs

Java

The Partner Center Java SDK can be used to manage Partner Center resources. It's an open-source project maintained by the partner community and not officially supported by Microsoft. You can get help from the community or open an issue on GitHub if you experience a problem.

To get a list of all customers:

1. Use the [IAggregatePartner.getCustomers] function to get a reference to the customer operations.

2. Retrieve the customer list using the query() function.

// Query the customers, get the first page if a page size was set, otherwise get all customers
SeekBasedResourceCollection<Customer> customersPage = partnerOperations.getCustomers().query(QueryFactory.getInstance().buildIndexedQuery(40));

// Create a customer enumerator which will aid us in traversing the customer pages
IResourceCollectionEnumerator<SeekBasedResourceCollection<Customer>> customersEnumerator =
    partnerOperations.getEnumerators().getCustomers().create( customersPage );

int pageNumber = 1;

while (customersEnumerator.hasValue())
{
    /*
     * Use the customersEnumerator.getCurrent() function to
     * access the current page of customers.
     */

    // Get the next page of customers
    customersEnumerator.next();
}

PowerShell

The Partner Center PowerShell module can be used to manage Partner Center resources. It's an open-source project maintained by the partner community and not officially supported by Microsoft. You can get help from the community or open an issue on GitHub if you experience a problem.

Execute the Get-PartnerCustomer command with no parameters to get a complete list of customers.
