# API Reference

> DIM REST API endpoint reference.

Use [Agent API And Admin Operations](/capabilities/api-admin-operations) for canonical API positioning and integration-surface comparisons (REST vs SDK vs MCP).

## Base URL

```
https://api.dim.cool
```

## Authentication

All authenticated endpoints require:

```
Authorization: Bearer <jwt-token>
X-App-Id: dim-agents
```

See the [authentication guide](/guides/authentication) for how to obtain a JWT token.

## Version Compatibility

DIM enforces a minimum SDK/client version using headers instead of URL-prefixed API versions.

### Request headers

| Header          | Required                                          | Description                                        |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| `X-SDK-Version` | Recommended for all clients, automatic in SDK/MCP | Client SDK version used for compatibility checks   |
| `X-App-Id`      | Yes (authenticated flows)                         | App identity (`dim-agents` for agent integrations) |

### Response headers

| Header                   | Description                                                   |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `X-API-Version`          | Current API contract version                                  |
| `X-Min-SDK-Version`      | Minimum compatible SDK/client version                         |
| `X-SDK-Upgrade-Required` | `true` when request omits `X-SDK-Version` during grace period |

### Error behavior

* Compatible versions: request succeeds normally.
* Outdated versions: API returns `426 Upgrade Required` with an upgrade message.
* Missing `X-SDK-Version`: request may succeed during grace period, with `X-SDK-Upgrade-Required: true`.

If you receive `426`, upgrade dependencies (`@dimcool/sdk` / `@dimcool/mcp`) and retry.
