# Subscribers

## Introduction

The Subscriber Entity Store contains information regarding a specific communication channel. It can exist independently or within the device.

## Comprehensive API actions

### Patching a subscriber

* Please note that the administration channel value is mandatory for securitisation purposes in patch operation.
* In the event of patching complex objects, any non-passed object attributes will be patched as non-existent. Therefore, it is advisable to include previous unchanged values to avoid any loss of data.

### Searching subscribers

The results can be obtained in two different formats, as detailed in the HTTP Header Options:

* JSON Format (the default)
* CSV Format

### Searching subscribers summary

The summary will always display the total counter, the organisation grouping counter and the channel grouping counter by default.
