Chargebee uses API key-based authentication. Your end users provide their Chargebee site name and a full-access or read-only API key. Truto securely stores these credentials and handles authentication on every request. ### What data can I access through Truto's Unified Subscription Management API for Chargebee? The unified API covers Customers, Invoices, and Payments — the core objects needed for billing analytics, revenue reporting, and subscription monitoring. These map to Chargebee's customer, invoice, and transaction resources. ### Does Truto handle Chargebee's API rate limits and pagination? Yes. Truto manages pagination across list endpoints and respects Chargebee's rate limits automatically, so you don't need to build retry logic or cursor management into your application. ### Is the Chargebee integration available out of the box? The Chargebee integration is built on request. Once requested, Truto maps Chargebee's API resources to the Unified Subscription Management API schema, so you get a production-ready integration without building against Chargebee's API directly. ### Can I access custom fields or Chargebee-specific metadata? Chargebee supports custom fields on many objects including customers and subscriptions. Truto can pass through provider-specific fields alongside the unified schema, so you retain access to custom metadata your users have configured. ### Does Truto support both read and write operations on Chargebee? Truto's Unified Subscription Management API supports read operations for Customers, Invoices, and Payments. Write capabilities and additional endpoints can be scoped during the integration build process based on your product's requirements.
