Overview
The sticviews developer API allows orders to be submitted from your site and fulfilled by the sticviews printing facility. Each printed order is created based on the customer's requested size, shape, and image, and then shipped directly to the customer as if from your brand.
The order submission process contains three important parts:
- authorization to gain access to the service (request an API account)
- the request detailing the order from your site
- the system's response from the API that confirms the order.
Order Submission
Authorization
Requests to the developer API are only accepted from registered users. Before using the system, please contact sticviews to request an API key. The system uses basic authentication to verify users during the order submission process. This information is embedded in the header of the request.
For more information about basic authentication, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/basic_access_authentication.
Security
All requests to the sticviews developer API must be sent using secure socket layer (SSL) to ensure secure transmission of information.
The request message sent to the web service consists of several key components and variables, detailed below:
.NET Client Available
A .NET-based client is available to interact with the sticviews developer API to submit orders manually and for testing. This client consumes the web service in order to easily submit orders to the sticviews order fulfillment web service.
Please contact the sticviews team for a copy of the client code.
