Redirecting to the Subscription Portal

What do I need?

  1. Parent Timeback ID – The unique identifier of the parent in the one-roster system.

  2. Expiry Time (optional) – Defaults to 60 minutes if not provided.

  3. Edupaid API key – your edupaid api key

How do I generate the redirection url ?

  1. Make a POST request to

    https://api.edupaid.2hourlearning.com/functions/v1/generate-parent-token
  2. Include your Edupaid API key in the request header:

    x-api-key: <your_api_key>
  3. Send the request body in JSON format:

    {
      "parentTimebackId": "<parent_id>",
      "expiryMinutes": <expiry_time_in_minutes>
    }
    • parentTimebackId → required, the unique identifier of the parent.

    • expiryMinutes → optional, defaults to 60 minutes if not provided.

  4. Receive the response – On success, you’ll get back a JSON object containing the time-limited portal URL:

    {
      "url": "https://students.edupaid.2hourlearning.com/subscription-portal?token=<token>"
    }
  5. Redirect the parent to the url returned in the response. For example:

    https://students.edupaid.2hourlearning.com/subscription-portal?token=<token>

Tip: You can also try this endpoint directly in the Swagger API documentation by expanding the POST /generate-parent-token section and clicking “Try it out”.

Security Guidelines

  • Always use HTTPS when calling the generate-parent-token API.

  • Do not expose your Edupaid API key in frontend or client-side code.

  • Keep it secure on the backend. Limit token expiry times – 60 minutes is recommended for parent portal access.

  • Call the token generation API only from a trusted backend that you control.

  • Redirect only to the returned url from the API response. Do not attempt to manually construct subscription portal links.
