What is the Print to Post API?

The print to post API is an RESTful service that allows developers to retrieve order status and printing information. It also provides access to manufacturing infrastructure used by popular retail print services.

The API works using HTTPS. This makes it secure and easy to use for both developers and end users. However, the number of requests sent to the API is capped. In addition, it is possible for the API to be throttled in case a high volume of requests are made.

While the Print to Post API provides the same functionality as its more expensive counterpart, it does not provide a direct solution to the problem of emailing a document. To send email notifications, it uses the Xpressdocs Status API.

Using the Xpressdocs API, a user can submit a document to a cloud storage service. It will provide a logging function to track the processing of the document. Depending on the service, it may also provide an alert on failed submissions.

The API offers several other features, including a scale weighing feature. You can query multiple scales and determine the scale's model, manufacturer, and product id. Normally, the identifier of the scale is the manufacturer and model, but you can choose any other identifier to distinguish between scales of the same make.

The print to post API is an efficient way to process your print orders. For example, it allows you to send an email alert to a customer if the print order is rejected. A rejection notice is accompanied by an HTML version of the order receipt that is sent to the customer.
