You can view more information about Vestaboard's API here. Disclaimer
According to Vestaboard's documentation, software that utilizes the API is considered an installable, and as such must be connected to a Vestaboard via an installation.
Each Board subscribes to an installable via an installation and as such is able to recieve a message. While I won't get into detail on how these correlate, know that you must first create an installable via Vestaboard's API. You'll need to create an account and register your installable to your board.
Once created, you will need to store your API Key and API Secret - you'll need this to communicate with your board. During this process, you will be prompted to select which board you'd like to install this installable onto - this is what creates the Subscription ID behind the scenes. Read more below.
