Quickstart
-
Create an API key
In the Digify app, open Settings, Developer portal, then create a new key. Save the Key ID and Secret. You will not be able to view the Secret again.
-
Authenticate with Basic Auth
Send requests with HTTP Basic Auth, using Key ID as username and Secret as password.
-
Upload a file and share it securely
Use /files to upload, then create an access link with /links. Disable downloads, set expiry, and watermark dynamically.
-
Subscribe to webhooks
Receive events such as document.viewed or link.revoked. Verify signatures using your shared secret.
Core concepts
Files Upload, secure, watermark, revoke.

Frequently asked questions

A DRM API (Digital Rights Management API) allows developers to integrate content protection, access control, and secure file sharing features directly into their apps or platforms. It enables enforcement of document permissions like view-only access, watermarks, and expiry.
Yes, Digify offers a sandbox key for testing your DRM API integrations safely without impacting live data. Contact support to request access.
Authentication is done via HTTP Basic Auth using your Key ID as the username and Secret as the password. All API calls must be made over HTTPS for security. Never expose secrets in client-side code or logs.
Yes. The Digify API allows you to revoke document access at any time, even after the link has been shared. You can also set expiry dates and track recipient activity through audit logs.
Digify’s API is ideal for document-heavy industries like finance, legal, healthcare, and education. It's especially useful for sharing sensitive files with content protection, document rights management, and traceability.
Yes. The API is language-agnostic, returning structured JSON responses that can be localized within your frontend. SDKs and documentation are in English, but API responses are easily translatable.
