HOWTO: Find my vendor ID

In order to create custom packages and titles, you need to pass in your vendor ID. You also need to add it to the ebsco.ini file.

You can discover that by making the following call to the API:

curl "https://sandbox.ebsco.io/rm/rmaccounts/your-customer-id/" \
     -H 'Accept: application/json' \
     -H 'X-api-key: your-api-key'

Response (see vendorId included below):
