description: '99designs by Vista is a global creative marketplace connecting clients with a worldwide network of freelance
  designers for logos, brand identity, web and packaging design, illustration, and more, using both a design-contest model
  and one-to-one projects. Its partner API (base https://api.99designs.com/resources/v1) lets platforms embed a fully-managed
  creative marketplace: search and match designers, retrieve designer profiles, reviews and portfolios, collect design briefs,
  place orders against 99designs products, and generate partner coupons. Authentication uses a pair of API key headers (Api-Key-Id
  and Api-Key-Secret) issued to partners on request. Founded in 2008 as a SitePoint spin-off and acquired by Cimpress/Vista
  in 2020.'
