Answer 1

Update (as this is fairly old by now): There is no API to cancel an auto-renewable subscription. Apple's documentation suggests that the app links to:

https://buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/manageSubscriptions

"Opening this URL launches iTunes or iTunes Store, and then displays the Manage Subscription page."

Answer 2

Recently Apple introduced their new service called "Status Update Notifications" which in essence is simple webhook that's being called when certain events occur on Apple servers. One of these events can be "CANCEL" when Apple's customer support cancels user's subscription. You setup a webhook and they send you a notification with details about this event.

I added this reply because this is what Apple recently introduced.

Answer 3

There is no API for this.

The only way to cancel a auto-renewable subscription is from Settings > Store > View my account > Manage my subscription on you iPhone.
