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 and nesting.

To fetch the dieline template (becf-10602) via the API, please make a
GET request to https://api.diecuttemplates.com/dieline-templates/in/becf-10602


Code Examples 



curl -i -X GET \
https://api.diecuttemplates.com/dieline-templates/in/becf-10602 \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_DIELINES_API_KEY_HERE>' \
  -H 'Dielines-Api-Version: 1.0'



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

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();

  CURLOPT_URL => "https://api.diecuttemplates.com/dieline-templates/in/becf-10602",
  CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
  CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "GET",
]);

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

curl_close($curl);
