Overview

In our Sinch Build Dashboard, you may have noticed that everything you do relating to the Sinch family of APIs is connected to a project. In the APIs, this parameter is the projectId.

Subprojects are similar to Sinch projects. Like projects, subprojects is a way to group resources together. The main differences to projects are:

  • Subprojects exit at the leaf of the account hierarchy and cannot own other (sub)projects.
  • Subprojects cannot be directly linked to a billing account. Only a parent project, or projectId can link to billing.
Status note:

The subproject API is in closed beta and is available to selected customers only. To discuss access, contact your account manager.

Deprecation:

v1alpha1 is deprecated in favour of v1. New integrations should use v1, and existing clients should migrate. The two versions are functionally identical — only the path prefix differs (/v1alpha1/... becomes /v1/...).

Use Case

The primary use of subprojects is for scenarios where you act as a reseller for Sinch Products.

You can create a subproject for each one of your customers. If the customer decides to go in another direction, simply remove the subproject.

Usage for each customer is measured separately.
