Building Your First Application: Part 5 - Uploading Images

The Printfection API lends itself really well to creating absolutely unique shirt designs from user created content. You might have a website where people can upload something and then manipulate it, or you might be creating your own images. Either way, you need to get the images uploaded to Printfection as part of the product creation process.

The Printfection API has a built in method for uploading images to your account, "Printfection.Images.upload", which is a little bit different from the other methods. Firstly, it must be sent as a POST request, and unlike the other methods, it has it's own URL for the request, http://upload.printfection.com/api_upload.php.

Featured Developer: GirlinYourShirt.com

We always knew how great a communication medium t-shirts were. Our latest featured developer helps prove that point.

GirlinYourShirt.com is an innovative new marketing idea that uses t-shirts to promote a business. Each day a new business sends a shirt and for a small fee, Jenae, the girl in the shirt, will wear it and post a promotional video to most of the popular video sharing sites.

GirlinYourShirt.com uses the Printfection API to provide a way for people that don't already have a shirt for her to wear, to make one. They upload their logo and it is put onto a shirt ready for purchase, and can even be shipped straight to GirlinYourShirt.com, ready for the video. All this is achieved using the Printfection Platform and API.

GirlinYourShirt.com has been featured by a number of media outlets and popular blogs, and is another great example of the wide range of uses for the Printfection API.

You can see it in action here.

Building Your First Application: Part 4 - Using Methods

After you have managed to get some information using the Printfection API and PFQL, you can now display things in your own pages. Maybe a list of products or sections from your account.

But what if you want to actual create or change things using the API. This is where API Methods come in. We've actually already used two methods for authentication and passing a PFQL query. There are many more Methods that can create, modify and delete pretty much anything. Stores, Sections, Products and shopping carts are all managebale using methods.
