Request headers

Name Type Required Description
X-Zuora-WSDL-Version String No

Zuora WSDL version number.

Default value: "79"

Content-Type String Yes The media type of the request body.

Default value: "application/json"

Content-Encoding String No

Include the Content-Encoding: gzip header to compress a request. With this header specified, you should upload a gzipped file for the request payload instead of sending the JSON payload.

Zuora-Track-Id String No

A custom identifier for tracing the API call. If you set a value for this header, Zuora returns the same value in the response headers. This header enables you to associate your system process identifiers with Zuora API calls, to assist with troubleshooting in the event of an issue.

The value of this field must use the US-ASCII character set and must not include any of the following characters: colon (:), semicolon (;), double quote ("), and quote (').

Authorization String No

The value is in the Bearer {token} format where {token} is a valid OAuth token generated by calling Create an OAuth token.

Idempotency-Key String No

Specify a unique idempotency key if you want to perform an idempotent POST or PATCH request. Do not use this header in other request types.

With this header specified, the Zuora server can identify subsequent retries of the same request using this value, which prevents the same operation from being performed multiple times by accident.

Zuora-Entity-Ids String No

An entity ID. If you have Zuora Multi-entity enabled and the OAuth token is valid for more than one entity, you must use this header to specify which entity to perform the operation in. If the OAuth token is only valid for a single entity, or you do not have Zuora Multi-entity enabled, you do not need to set this header.

Zuora-Org-Ids String No

Comma separated IDs. If you have Zuora Multi-Org enabled, you can use this header to specify which orgs to perform the operation in. If you do not have Zuora Multi-Org enabled, you should not set this header.

The IDs must be a sub-set of the user's accessible orgs. If you specify an org that the user does not have access to, the operation fails.

If the header is not set, the operation is performed in scope of the user's accessible orgs.

Accept-Encoding String No

Include the Accept-Encoding: gzip header to compress responses as a gzipped file. It can significantly reduce the bandwidth required for a response.

If specified, Zuora automatically compresses responses that contain over 1000 bytes of data, and the response contains a Content-Encoding header with the compression algorithm so that your client can decompress it.

Query parameters

Name Type Required Description
rejectUnknownFields Boolean No

Specifies whether the call fails if the request body contains unknown fields. With rejectUnknownFields set to true, Zuora returns a 400 response if the request body contains unknown fields. The body of the 400 response is:

{
    "message": "Error - unrecognised fields"
}

By default, Zuora ignores unknown fields in the request body.

Default value: false

Request body fields

Name Type Required Description
AccountNumber String No

The number of the account associated with the usage data. This field is only required if no value is specified for the AccountId field. Character limit: 50 Values: a valid account number.

ChargeNumber String No

A unique number for the rate plan charge related to the usage record. For example, C-00000007.

Quantity Number Yes

Indicates the number of units used.

Character limit: 16

Values: A valid decimal amount. It could be a negative amount. Negative quantity usage records are used to adjust the previously uploaded usage records.

AccountId String No

The ID of the account associated with the usage data. This field is only required if no value is specified for the AccountNumber field. Character limit: 32 Values: a valid account ID.

SubscriptionId String No

The original ID of the subscription that contains the fees related to the usage data.

The ID of a subscription might change when you create amendments to the subscription. It is good practice to use the unique subscription number that you can specify in the SubscriptionNumber field.

ChargeId String No

The OrginalId of the rate plan charge related to the usage record, e.g., 2c9081a03c63c94c013c6873357a0117 Character limit: 32 Values: a valid rate plan charge OriginalID.

EndDateTime String No

The end date and time of a range of time when usage is tracked. Use this field for reporting; this field doesn't affect usage calculation. Character limit: 29 Values: a valid date and time value.

UniqueKey String No

The unique external reference of the usage record. See Upload usage record with unique key for information on how to use this field. Note: This field is only available if you set the X-Zuora-WSDL-Version request header to 114 or later.

UOM String Yes

Specifies the units to measure usage. Units of measure are configured in the web-based UI. Your values depend on your configuration in Billing Settings. Character limit: Values: a valid unit of measure

StartDateTime String Yes

The start date and time of a range of time when usage is tracked. Zuora uses this field value to determine the usage date. Unlike the EndDateTime, the StartDateTime field does affect usage calculation. Character limit: 29 Values: a valid date and time value

Description String No

A description of the usage record.

SubscriptionNumber String No

The unique identifier number of the subscription that contains the fees related to the usage data.

It is good practice to use this field when creating usage records.
