Manage members, access, and subscriptions through the API

Reading member data

With the "Read members" scope you can list members, find one by email, check whether they have access, and even ask why a specific member is seeing the paywall — a diagnostic that saves a lot of support back-and-forth. You can also list a member's bundle entitlements and check their payment-sync status.

Creating and updating members

The "Manage members" scope unlocks creating, inviting, updating, and deleting members, plus tagging, generating single-sign-on login links, and managing the communication-block list (individually or in bulk — handy for importing a suppression list from a previous email tool). Member deletion is a proper removal: related history like watch data, comments, and entitlements is cleared too.

Groups have their own scopes, so you can create groups and move members in and out of them for bulk operations.

Granting access

The high-trust "Grant access" scope lets an integration give or remove free access and bundle entitlements for specific members. This is the scope used when an outside checkout or a one-time import needs to unlock content for a buyer — for example, granting a lifetime bundle when a purchase completes in another system.

Subscriptions and billing data

The "Manage subscriptions" scope can create a checkout for a member, and cancel, pause, or resume an existing subscription — these act directly on your connected Stripe account, so grant it carefully. You can also list, create, update, and archive subscription plans, and read invoices with a read-only scope.

For personal outreach, a separate "Email members" scope allows one-to-one emails (or a saved template) with hard caps of 20 recipients per send and 100 per day — and only when you've turned the email feature on. Bulk marketing email is not possible via the API.
