If you do not use FlexNet Operations but have your own back office for managing your entitlements, then you will need to use the Dynamic Monetization APIs directly to:

• Create Dynamic Monetization instances for your customer accounts
• Create and modify line items in Dynamic Monetization

You may want to write an integration layer that allows your back office to call these APIs directly.

The remainder of this section on using your own back office walks you through exercises for managing instances and line items:

1. Creating a Dynamic Monetization Instance
2. Creating a Line Item

Creating a Dynamic Monetization Instance

Authorization: administration token

Endpoint information: Create an instance

This section describes the steps for using the POST /instances API to create an instance for a customer account.

Send a POST to /provisioning/api/v1.0/instances. Use the values as described in the following table:

{ 
  "shortName": "ACME-def-inst",
  "accountId": "ACME"
} 

Sample Response

If the request was successful, the response returns the instance information, similar to this:

{
    "id": "d889a651-123a-456b-78d9-60d6de8cfes9",
    "shortName": "ACME-def-inst",
    "accountId": "ACME",
    "defaultInstance": true,
    "created": 1,
    "modified": 0
}

Creating a Line Item

Authorization: administration token

Endpoint information: Map a line item to an instance

In this exercise, you create a line item which captures an entitlement to a number of metered tokens that a customer has purchased.

Send a PUT request to /provisioning/api/v1.0/instances/{instanceId}/line-items to map a line item to the instance you created in the previous step, Creating a Line Item.

  },
  "instanceId": "d889a651-123a-456b-78d9-60d6de8cfes9"
} 

Sample Response

If the request was successful, the response returns code 201, indicating that the line item was successfully created.
