Authentication

The DraftLift API uses API keys for authentication. Keys are scoped to your account and can be created from the Settings page.

Creating an API key

  1. Navigate to Settings > API Keys in your DraftLift dashboard
  2. Click Create API Key and give it a descriptive name
  3. Copy the key immediately — it is only shown once

API key format

dl_live_a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0k1l2m3n4o5p6
Keys always start with dl_live_ for easy identification.

Using your key

Include the key in the Authorization header:
Authorization: Bearer dl_live_your_key_here

Key management

  • Revoke a key at any time from Settings — it takes effect immediately
  • Rename keys to keep them organized
  • Monitor usage per key from the Settings page

Requirements

API access requires a Business or Agency plan. Starter and Pro users will see an upgrade prompt on the API Keys settings tab.
