The Dieline Dimensions API is authenticated with its own API key. Generate one on the Dieline Dimensions API Keys page — Dieline Dimensions API keys are prefixed with dim_ so they are easy to recognise.
Authenticate every request by sending your key as a Bearer token in the Authorization header, together with the Dimensions-Api-Version header:
Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_DIMENSIONS_API_KEY_HERE>
Dimensions-Api-Version: 1.0Requests without a valid key return 401 Unauthorized. A key that has no active Dimensions credits returns 403 Forbidden — buy credits on the Pricing page.
