Steps
Register an integration in the Adobe Developer Console to obtain a client (API) key and set up an Adobe IMS OAuth 2.0 flow to authenticate the Lightroom customer and obtain an access token
Include the access token in the Authorization header and the API key in the X-API-Key header on every request to lr.adobe.io
Call GET /v2/account with the access token to fetch account information
Inspect entitlement.status in the response; if it is not 'subscriber' or 'trial', treat the customer as not entitled and stop, since further calls will return 403 Forbidden
Check entitlement.storage.used against entitlement.storage.limit to confirm the customer has not exceeded their Lightroom storage quota
On a 403 with error_code 4300 ('Access is forbidden'), obtain a new access token from Adobe IMS and retry
Known gotchas
A missing or invalid X-API-Key header returns a distinct 403 with error_code 403003 ('Api Key is invalid'), separate from an expired access token error
Calls with no Authorization header at all return 401 Unauthorized rather than 403, so handle both cases
Entitlement values other than subscriber/trial can mean an expired subscription or entitlement to a different Adobe product, not necessarily 'no Lightroom access'
