I've used the Authorize.net recurring payments for about six months, and it works fine, but as of the last time I checked (a few months ago), there's no API to interact with the recurring billing system -- only the single transactions. You have to set up the subscriptions manually through their website forms. I think they do have a batch processing feature, where you can upload multiple subscriptions from a flat file, but I haven't looked into that feature personally, and I think you still have to do it through the AN website, there's no API for that.
