v1.0.0-beta

2026-07-28 · Public API beta

Added

  • Render API: renders ZPL to PNG or PDF over HTTP, with no page-count, request-size, or rate limit.
  • Render an entire multi-label document into a single multi-page PDF in one request.
  • API-key authentication with the X-API-Key header. You manage keys from the dashboard.
  • Labelary-compatible endpoints: an existing client migrates with a base-URL change and a key.
  • Opt-in render diagnostics: send X-Linter: On and the response carries an X-Warnings header that lists ignored commands and silent defaults, up to 20 entries. See the Diagnostics Reference.
  • OpenAPI 3.1 reference in the documentation.
  • Guides: first-party quickstart, multi-page retailer packets, and the Labelary migration guide.

Notes

  • The Labelary-compatible endpoints are the complete public API. The API has no native POST /api/parse route. The online viewer and desktop app provide structured ZPL inspection.
