The Partner Center SDK is designed for partners in the Cloud Solution Provider program. With it, you can programmatically manage your customer accounts, place orders, manage subscriptions, and find support. Indirect partners can also manage their channel. It enables you to customize your existing customer relationship management or billing tools to retrieve or submit data about subscriptions. Employees at your company can work in their typical environment rather than signing in to Partner Center and duplicating data entry and other tasks.

The Partner Center SDK includes a managed API library, a REST API, a comprehensive sample app written in C#, and this documentation. The Partner Center SDK is a superset of the existing CREST API and includes a Managed API that features improved token management and a simple interface library for network calls with retries.

Other resources for Cloud Solution Providers

Depending on your existing tools and solutions, you may find the following APIs useful for managing accounts, permissions and IDs, orders, and subscriptions.

Office 365 and Microsoft Azure each provide an API that partners can use to retrieve real-time service health, message center communications, and planned maintenance events. These APIs are publicly available, and partners can use them on behalf of their customers when they have delegated admin privileges.
