- Account UI: the API Keys & Limits and API Usage tabs of your DeepL account, available on all plans
- Admin API: programmatic key management and usage analytics, for automating key provisioning, enforcing limits, and feeding usage data into your own dashboards or billing systems (see the Admin API reference)
The Admin API
The Admin API is available to all API Growth and API Enterprise subscribers, and to a limited set of Pro API subscribers. To enable access, contact your DeepL customer success manager or DeepL support. The Admin API uses its own key type: admin keys, which always carry an:adm suffix to distinguish them from developer keys. You create admin keys in the “Admin Keys” tab of your account (see Managing API Keys in the Account UI) and pass them in the Authorization header of each request, just like developer keys:
Authorization: DeepL-Auth-Key [yourAdminKey]
Admin API endpoints are available on the Pro endpoint https://api.deepl.com. See the Admin API reference for request and response schemas.
