Build on the Developers Digest platform

One API key, one credit balance. Generate images and voice, count tokens, resolve favicons, query model pricing, and pull the Skill, Agent, and Design libraries - over REST, MCP, or the dd CLI.

Get started Browse the API OpenAPI spec

Overview

What you can build

The platform exposes three surfaces over the same credit-metered capabilities. Pick whichever fits how you work.

REST API

https://www.developersdigest.tech/api/v1

Plain HTTP + JSON. Bearer auth. Every endpoint has a curl example below.

MCP endpoint

https://www.developersdigest.tech/api/mcp

Streamable HTTP MCP server. Drop it into any agent that speaks MCP.

dd CLI

dd generate image ...

Single-binary CLI for generation, skills, agents, and balance. Download at /dashboard/cli.

Prefer a visual workspace? The same credit-metered capabilities power Chat, Image generation, and Voice generation.

Authentication

API keys & credits

-Create an API key in the dashboard at /dashboard/keys. Keys are prefixed dd_live_.
-Send it on every request as an Authorization: Bearer dd_live_... header.
-A signed-in browser session also authenticates the /api/v1 REST routes; the MCP endpoint requires a real dd_live_ key (there is no session on that transport).
-Credits are shared with your account. Any spend from the API, MCP, or CLI draws from the same universal balance, and owner accounts are never charged.
-Metered actions only deduct credits on success. A provider failure returns an error and leaves your balance untouched.

curl

curl https://www.developersdigest.tech/api/v1/me \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer dd_live_your_key_here"

Create and manage keys at /dashboard/keys. Add credits at /pricing.

REST API

/api/v1 endpoints

All endpoints require a valid key or session and return plain JSON. Metered actions are charged only on success.

POST/api/v1/images1-6 credits

MCP Endpoint

Model Context Protocol

The Model Context Protocol endpoint lives at https://www.developersdigest.tech/api/mcp and is served over streamable HTTP via mcp-handler. It exposes the same credit-metered capabilities as the REST API as MCP tools, so agents can call them directly.

A dd_live_ API key is REQUIRED as an Authorization: Bearer header. There is no session on the MCP transport; every tool call resolves its owner from the key.

Generation tools are credit-metered: generate_image is 5 credits, generate_voice is 1 credit, and generate_video is priced per model. Everything else - search, memory, and the Library tools (skills, agents, design systems) - is free.

Beyond the tools below, the server also exposes files (list_folders, list_assets, list_files, get_file), Canvas authoring (create_canvas, create_html_asset, and friends), and slideshow tools (list_slideshows, export_slide_deck_pptx). Connect and list tools to see the full surface.

dd CLI

Command line

The dd CLI is a small, zero-dependency command line tool that calls the /api/v1 REST surface with your dd_live_ key, prints result URLs, and links back to the dashboard studio.

It ships as a single compiled binary for macOS, Linux, and Windows; download it from /dashboard/cli. Every command accepts --json for machine-readable output, and the CLI exits non-zero on any error so it composes cleanly in scripts.

Setup

Shell

# 1. Download the binary for your platform at https://www.developersdigest.tech/dashboard/cli
chmod +x ~/Downloads/dd && mv ~/Downloads/dd /usr/local/bin/dd

# 2. Authenticate (create a key at https://www.developersdigest.tech/dashboard/keys)
export DD_API_KEY=dd_live_your_key_here
# or persist it: ~/.config/devdigest/config.json -> { "apiKey": "dd_live_..." }

Errors & Rate Limits

Status codes & throttling

Every error uses the same shape - { error, message } - with a matching HTTP status, so any client can rely on a single format. Some errors add extra fields.

Status	Code	Meaning	Extra fields
400	bad_request	Validation failed (bad JSON, missing or out-of-range field).	-
401	unauthorized	Missing or invalid API key or session.	-
402	insufficient_credits	Not enough credits for this action. Add credits at /pricing.	balance
404	not_found	No resource for that slug or id (skills, agents, run sessions).	-
429	rate_limited	Too many requests. Slow down and retry.	retryAfterSeconds + Retry-After header
500	internal	Unexpected server error. Metered actions do not charge on failure.	-
503	not_configured	The feature is not enabled on the server (missing provider config).	-

Developer Docs

Build on the Developers Digest platform

One API key, one credit balance. Generate images and voice, count tokens, resolve favicons, query model pricing, and pull the Skill, Agent, and Design libraries - over REST, MCP, or the dd CLI.

Get started Browse the API OpenAPI spec

Overview

What you can build

The platform exposes three surfaces over the same credit-metered capabilities. Pick whichever fits how you work.

REST API

https://www.developersdigest.tech/api/v1

Plain HTTP + JSON. Bearer auth. Every endpoint has a curl example below.

MCP endpoint

https://www.developersdigest.tech/api/mcp

Streamable HTTP MCP server. Drop it into any agent that speaks MCP.

dd CLI

dd generate image ...

Single-binary CLI for generation, skills, agents, and balance. Download at /dashboard/cli.

Prefer a visual workspace? The same credit-metered capabilities power Chat, Image generation, and Voice generation.

Authentication

API keys & credits

-Create an API key in the dashboard at /dashboard/keys. Keys are prefixed dd_live_.
-Send it on every request as an Authorization: Bearer dd_live_... header.
-A signed-in browser session also authenticates the /api/v1 REST routes; the MCP endpoint requires a real dd_live_ key (there is no session on that transport).
-Credits are shared with your account. Any spend from the API, MCP, or CLI draws from the same universal balance, and owner accounts are never charged.
-Metered actions only deduct credits on success. A provider failure returns an error and leaves your balance untouched.

curl

curl https://www.developersdigest.tech/api/v1/me \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer dd_live_your_key_here"

Create and manage keys at /dashboard/keys. Add credits at /pricing.

REST API

/api/v1 endpoints

All endpoints require a valid key or session and return plain JSON. Metered actions are charged only on success.

Errors & Rate Limits

Status codes & throttling

Every error uses the same shape - { error, message } - with a matching HTTP status, so any client can rely on a single format. Some errors add extra fields.

Status	Code	Meaning	Extra fields
400	bad_request	Validation failed (bad JSON, missing or out-of-range field).	-
401	unauthorized	Missing or invalid API key or session.	-
402	insufficient_credits	Not enough credits for this action. Add credits at /pricing.	balance
404	not_found	No resource for that slug or id (skills, agents, run sessions).	-
429	rate_limited	Too many requests. Slow down and retry.	retryAfterSeconds + Retry-After header
500	internal	Unexpected server error. Metered actions do not charge on failure.	-
503	not_configured	The feature is not enabled on the server (missing provider config).	-
