How to create an Account API Key for the API

The information in this document will help you establish an API account for testing. Please note that this is a work in progress, and content will change as we continue to enhance our new API and accompanying documentation.

Step 1 - Sign up for a new Mimeo Print account

The first step is to create a Mimeo Print account in one or more regions. If you already have an existing Mimeo Print account, you can skip this step.

1. Visit the Mimeo Print website and sign up for an account in sandbox first. Once you are ready for production deployment, do the same thing in production. (You can freely test in sandbox, and we will not produce any physical orders nor charge you for them.)

NOTE: In general, we recommend setting up dedicated account for your API implementation, and sharing all print and document content to it.

No sandbox instance (use US or UK)

2. Click the circle next to the shopping cart in the upper right corner of the screen, choose Account and fill out Account Address.

3. Communicate the account email to us, so that we can enable any corporate details required for your environment.

4. Manually upload a few print files, and create documents for testing.

Step 2 - Sign up for an API account

Once the account exists, you can use it to generate your API key. If you ever forget your key, you can simply follow this process to retrieve it.

5. Navigate to visit the appropriate Connect site and generate a region-based API key. Log into the page using the Mimeo basic authentication details you created in step 1.

After completing step 5, you can now start using our Mimeo Print Api!
