}Authorizations
A secret key from Print.App admin → Domains → Secret keys, sent as Authorization: Bearer sk_…. Server-side only.
Headers
Makes a retry safe: a second request with the same key and the same body gets the first response back (for 24 hours) instead of creating the resource again. Use a new key, such as a UUID, for every new request.
