This documentation page is intended for developers looking to integrate the Dielines API into their systems. If you have any questions, please get in touch.

Die Cut Templates provides a hosted API available via HTTPS.

Dielines API allows for generating custom dielines in PDF, DXF, and SVG formats, along with 3D mockups.

To fetch the dieline template (becf-21f01) via the API, please make a
GET request to https://api.diecuttemplates.com/dieline-templates/in/becf-21f01


Code Examples



curl -i -X GET \
https://api.diecuttemplates.com/dieline-templates/in/becf-21f01 \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_DIELINES_API_KEY_HERE>' \
  -H 'Dielines-Api-Version: 1.0'


require 'uri'
require 'net/http'
require 'openssl'

url = URI('https://api.diecuttemplates.com/dieline-templates/in/becf-21f01')

http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port)
http.use_ssl = true

request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(url)
request['Dielines-Api-Version'] = '1.0'
request['Authorization'] = 'Bearer <YOUR_DIELINES_API_KEY_HERE>'

response = http.request(request)
puts response.read_body


$curl = curl_init();

curl_setopt_array($curl, [
  CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => [
    "Authorization: Bearer  <YOUR_DIELINES_API_KEY_HERE>",
    "Dielines-Api-Version: 1.0"
  ],
  CURLOPT_URL => "https://api.diecuttemplates.com/dieline-templates/in/becf-21f01",
  CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
  CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "GET",
]);

$response = curl_exec($curl);
$error = curl_error($curl);

curl_close($curl);

if ($error) {
  echo "cURL Error #:" . $error;
} else {
  echo $response;
}
