# List subscriptions
Requires the `subscriptions:read` scope. See [Authentication](/api-reference/authentication#scopes).
## OpenAPI
````yaml /api-reference/openapi.json get /v1/subscriptions
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
title: Saasybill API
version: 1.0.0
description: >-
Create and manage subscriptions in Saasybill from your own platform.
**Authentication.** `Authorization: Bearer saasybill_live_…`. Create keys
under Developer Settings.
**Idempotency.** Send an `Idempotency-Key` on writes. It is required to
create a subscription.
**Webhooks.** Saasybill calls your URL when something changes. Events:
`customer.created`, `customer.updated`, `customer.deleted`,
`subscription.created`, `subscription.updated`, `subscription.ended`,
`subscription.restored`, `subscription.deleted`, `invoice.created`,
`invoice.updated`, `invoice.paid`, `invoice.voided`, `invoice.deleted`,
`credit_note.created`, `credit_note.updated`, `credit_note.voided`,
`credit_note.deleted`. Each request is signed: `Saasybill-Signature: t=,v1=`, where `v1` is `HMAC-SHA256(secret, ".")`.
Reject a `t` more than five minutes old. Deliveries are at-least-once,
retried for about 20 hours, and unordered: de-duplicate on the event `id`.
Changes are detected about once a minute, so an event can arrive up to a
minute late, and changes inside one minute are combined.
**Testing.** Create a sandbox under Developer Settings → Configuration,
connect it to a Xero Demo Company, and use a test key (`saasybill_test_…`)
created inside it. A test key works only in its sandbox, which sends no
emails and is never billed. Your plans, customers and subscriptions can be
copied into the sandbox when it is created or reset, and its test clock can
be advanced to see renewals without waiting. `GET /v1/organisation` returns
`livemode: false` for a sandbox.
