How Resellers License, Monitor and Bill Their Clients Under One Account

Sublicensing

Our reseller programme lets web agencies, SaaS businesses and other platform vendors integrate our solutions for their clients. Each client is registered as a Licensee under your account, so you license, manage and track their usage in one place. Sublicensing is the mechanism behind it: one Sublicensing Key, many Licensees.

Features

Simple End User Licensing

You can register each Licensee through the Licensees API or from the dashboard.

Practical Monitoring

Client Usage Data

You can monitor client usage across time and track transactions. You can also slice and dice data by Licensee.

Reporting

You can export reports to monitor usage at a Licensee level.

Meta Tagging

You can link metadata with individual transactions with tagging.

Built in Controls

Allowed URLs

You can set up allowed URLs that a Licensee key can be used from.

Daily Rate Limit

You can set a maximum daily usage cap per Licensee.

Streamlined Billing

You do not prepay. We invoice you at the end of each month for the past calendar month's usage across all your Licensees. Royal Mail licensing requires each Licensee to procure lookups in blocks of 100, so each Licensee's usage is rounded up to the nearest 100 lookups, with a minimum of 100. A Licensee that uses 60 lookups in month one is billed for 100; if they use 30 more in month two, nothing further is billed until they pass 100. Details are in the Sublicensing documentation.

Dashboard

Sublicensing Dashboard

License your clients to use our datasets from your dashboard in moments.

Sublicensing Usage

Monitor API usage, export usage logs and manage key settings and client access.

Since May 2026 reseller organisations also have a dedicated Reseller Dashboard. It summarises your Licensees, active client count and usage costs for any billing period, with a per-Licensee table (address and API key, sortable, CSV export) and links straight to each Licensee's keys and dates.

How it Works

  1. Create an API key on your account

  2. Add each Licensee with the Licensees API for automated registrations, or from the dashboard to get started quickly. Each Licensee receives a unique key. These all fall under your single API key

  3. Integrate the Postcode Lookup or Address Autocomplete libraries into your Licensee applications

  4. Receive a monthly invoice for your clients' aggregated usage
