We have a requirement to setup up API access for a specific set of data that will probably never change for this user. If subscriptions don’t expire then we can just create it once and not worry about deleting it unless we need to change the resulting dataset. If they do expire then we need to create it before every Get Subscription Data call and delete it afterwards. These are also time sensitive lookups so the less calls the better. Thank You ---

Tested it in Postman and it looks like the subscription is only good for about 10 minutes before it needs to be recreated. Thanks ---

Hello, Subscriptions do not expire. The simplest way to check it is to create a Wallboard (it uses Stats API internally, subscribes, consumes and visualizes the data). What task do you try to fulfill with Postman? Sincerely, Andrew.
