# NestAPI Documentation

## Docs

- [API keys](https://dev-docs.nestapi.com/account/api-keys.md): Key classes, lifecycle, and browser-origin (CORS) control.
- [Identity & key status](https://dev-docs.nestapi.com/account/profile.md): Check who a key belongs to, whether it's valid, and when it expires.
- [Validate the current API key](https://dev-docs.nestapi.com/api-reference/account/validate-the-current-api-key.md): Confirms the key is active and returns basic identity info.
- [Submit a DXF nesting request](https://dev-docs.nestapi.com/api-reference/nesting/submit-a-dxf-nesting-request.md): Submit base64-encoded DXF files with the sheets to nest onto and the nesting settings. Returns a RequestId immediately; the completed ApiNestingResult is delivered asynchronously to your ResultsWebhookUri.
- [Health check](https://dev-docs.nestapi.com/api-reference/public/health-check.md)
- [Authentication](https://dev-docs.nestapi.com/authentication.md): Every request is authenticated with an API key sent as a Bearer token.
- [Common cutting](https://dev-docs.nestapi.com/concepts/common-cutting.md): Letting adjacent parts share a cut line to save material and cutting time.
- [Export types](https://dev-docs.nestapi.com/concepts/export-types.md): Turning a completed nest into production output and reports.
- [Nesting settings](https://dev-docs.nestapi.com/concepts/nesting-settings.md): The knobs that control how parts are placed: spacing, rotations, and material handling.
- [Parts and sheets](https://dev-docs.nestapi.com/concepts/parts-and-sheets.md): The two things every nest needs: what to cut, and what to cut it from.
- [1D nesting](https://dev-docs.nestapi.com/guides/1d-nesting.md): Optimise linear cutting of bar, tube, and profile stock.
- [Geometry types](https://dev-docs.nestapi.com/guides/geometry-types.md): The ways to describe parts to NestAPI: DXF files, encoded geometry, parametric, and MyNesting XML.
- [Nesting workflow](https://dev-docs.nestapi.com/guides/nesting-workflow.md): The asynchronous submit → RequestId → result model, with SignalR and delayed start.
- [Quote nesting](https://dev-docs.nestapi.com/guides/quote-nesting.md): Fast material-usage estimates for quoting, without producing full production output.
- [Webhooks](https://dev-docs.nestapi.com/guides/webhooks.md): How nesting results are delivered to your endpoint, and how to secure it.
- [Introduction](https://dev-docs.nestapi.com/introduction.md): Nesting-as-a-service for CAD/CAM and sheet-fabrication software.
- [Quickstart](https://dev-docs.nestapi.com/quickstart.md): Submit a DXF nesting request and receive the result via webhook.
