Agencies
Managing 5, 10, 20 Clients with specific needs? One API, every brand's templates, and mockups you can create automatically across all of them for client work.
Looking to embed MockItReal rendering inside your own product? That's the Platform plan - see below.
Three steps to automated mockups.
Get your API key.
Sign up, grab a Bearer token from your dashboard. Developers can authenticate requests with either a Bearer token or the X-API-KEY header. API access starts on Starter ($19/mo).
Send a render request.
POST your template ID and design URL, define the template inputs, and send the data in the request body. Single render or batch up to 250 for easier integration.
Get a finished mockup.
The API returns a hosted mockup URL in seconds. Use webhooks for async batches so users can plug completed renders back into their website or web app workflow.
One call. One mockup.
Single render or batch up to 250. Easy to integrate, same auth, same shape.
