The reseller API lets a partner create Torrin accounts and activate plans entirely from their own backend — no customer ever visits Torrin or pastes a key. It’s how white-label apps bundle Torrin into their own product and billing.

Getting access

Reseller access is issued per partner — contact the operator to get your partner key. There’s no self-serve signup. Your single key works for both:
  • X-Partner-Key — create accounts (skips captcha and per-IP signup limits).
  • X-Reseller-Key — mint, list, and settle plan codes.
Your key is scoped to your own codes — you only ever see and settle codes you minted.

Provisioning flow

Three calls create a customer and put them on a plan:

1. Create the account

Returns the customer’s API key:

2. Mint a plan code

plan_id is standard or pro — both include system Usenet + indexer with nothing extra to buy (starter does not bundle Usenet). period is monthly, yearly, lifetime, or days (see Trials).

3. Activate it on the account

The customer is now on Standard and ready to stream.

Trials

Mint a short days code for a trial that auto-expires, then upgrade the same account after payment:
Redeem it exactly as in step 3. After the window expires, redeem a monthly code on the same account to continue — the new term starts from redemption.

Billing

  • Codes never expire until redeemed — prepay a batch and use it over time.
  • The plan term starts only when a code is redeemed, not when it’s minted.
  • Settlement reconciles the codes you’ve activated so you can be invoiced.

Reconciliation

Calls are safe to retry after an uncertain response:
  • Redeem is idempotent — redeeming an already-used code returns 409 this code has already been used, confirming the first attempt worked.
  • List your codes (GET /api/reseller/codes) to see exactly what was minted or redeemed.

Included service & limits

White-label

Partner-created accounts can have the Torrin welcome email suppressed so the experience stays fully your brand. Ask the operator to enable it on your key.
