Unsubscribe from and deactivate a test plan
When you’re done testing a plan, you can unsubscribe from and deactivate the plan.
Unsubscribe from a plan
Install or use a tool that can send HTTP requests to test your solution, for example:
Visual Studio Code with an extension from Visual Studio Marketplace
-
Caution
For scenarios where you have sensitive data, such as credentials, secrets, access tokens, API keys, and other similar information, make sure to use a tool that protects your data with the necessary security features, works offline or locally, doesn't sync your data to the cloud, and doesn't require that you sign in to an online account. This way, you reduce the risk around exposing sensitive data to the public.
Publishers can unsubscribe a customer from the system, using the Cancel Subscription API.
Using a tool that can send HTTP requests to test your solution, send a DELETE API action against
subscriptionId.Once unsubscribe is successful, you will receive Status Code 202 Accepted.
