Assessment: An OpenAPI 3.1 file, an agent skill and a six-month removal notice with Sunset headers make DynaPictures' template rendering easy to plan around, with a free plan and no-card trial. The single API key opens the whole account, requests aren't idempotent, and no changelog, status page or dated release was found.

## Before you call it

1. Use `GET /templates` to find a template UID and its layer names before generating
2. Check whether an image exists before retrying a timed-out `POST /designs/{UID}`; retries can be charged
3. Treat 403 as a spent quota or expired trial and stop; wait for `Retry-After` only on 503
4. Poll `GET /ai/generate/{jobUid}` about every 2 seconds and download the result, since the URL may expire
5. Keep the API key out of image URLs; use signed or public links for embedding

## Connect

```bash
curl https://api.dynapictures.com/workspaces -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
```
