# Managing child accounts

## Overview

This article shows how to use the Turbo360 Partner API to query information about a specific child account, including its usage, ACR (Azure Consumption Revenue), and associated users. The sample uses the VS Code REST Client extension and is designed for interactive testing and exploration.

### Business value

Partners need visibility into individual child account health and consumption from a central point. These API calls surface licensing metrics and user assignments without requiring access to each child account's portal.

## Prerequisites

- A Turbo360 Parent Account with Partner API access enabled.
- A Microsoft Entra App Registration configured with the Turbo360 Partner API permission scope (`api://3ff33167-ae34-4bb3-b86d-109c22d28fc8/.default`).
- The tenant ID, client ID, and client secret for your App Registration.
- VS Code with the REST Client extension installed.

## How it works

The sample performs four sequential operations against the Parent Account API:

1. **Authenticate:** Acquire a Bearer token using the client credentials flow.
2. **List child accounts:** Retrieve all managed accounts and identify the target account ID by name.
3. **Get account usage:** Retrieve the ACR and licensing usage for the specified child account.
4. **Get account users:** Retrieve the list of users associated with the child account.

The `childAccountId` variable is populated automatically from the `getAccounts` response using a JSONPath expression that matches by account name — replace `My-CostAnalyzer-Account` with the name of the account you want to query.

## Steps

Copy the following into a `.http` file in VS Code and run each request in sequence. This code is written in plain text:

```http
# ==============================================================
# Authentication Variables
# ==============================================================
@tenantId = [API Authentication - Tenant ID]
@clientId = [API Authentication - Client ID]
@clientSecret = [API Authentication - Client Secret]
@host = portal.turbo360.com

# ==============================================================
# Cost Analyzer Account Variables
# ==============================================================
@newAccountName = My-CostAnalyzer-Account
@childAccountId = [populated from getAccounts response by account name]

# ==============================================================
# Step 1 - Get Authentication Token
# ==============================================================

# @name getToken
POST https://login.microsoftonline.com/[tenantId]/oauth2/v2.0/token
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

grant_type=client_credentials
&client_id=[clientId]
&client_secret=[clientSecret]
&scope=api://3ff33167-ae34-4bb3-b86d-109c22d28fc8/.default

###

# ==============================================================
# Step 2 - Get the Child Account from the list of accounts
# ==============================================================

# @name getAccounts
GET https://[host]/partner/api/account-management/get-managed-accounts
Accept: */*
Authorization: Bearer [getToken.response.body.access_token]

###

# ==============================================================
# Step 3 - Get the Child Account usage
# ==============================================================

GET https://[host]/partner/api/account-management/[childAccountId]/get-account-usage
Accept: */*
Authorization: Bearer [getToken.response.body.access_token]

###

# ==============================================================
# Step 4 - Get the Child Account users
# ==============================================================

GET https://[host]/partner/api/account-management/[childAccountId]/get-account-users
Accept: */*
Authorization: Bearer [getToken.response.body.access_token]

###
```

Note: Replace bracketed placeholders above with your actual variable values. In the REST Client extension, the `@childAccountId` variable uses a JSONPath expression to extract the account ID from the `getAccounts` response by matching on account name.
