Printcart

Overview

This node integrates with the Printcart API, enabling users to manage various resources related to print-on-demand products and designs. Specifically, for the Design resource and the Get Design Detail operation, the node fetches detailed information about a specific design by its ID.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

• Retrieving detailed metadata and attributes of a particular design in a print-on-demand workflow.
• Automating design data retrieval for further processing or integration with other systems.
• Monitoring or auditing design details programmatically without manual API calls.

Practical example:

• A user wants to get all details of a design identified by a unique design ID to display it in a dashboard or use it as input for another automation step.

Properties

Output

The output of the node is a JSON object containing the detailed information of the requested design. This includes all fields returned by the Printcart API's design detail endpoint, such as design metadata, associated images, status, viewport dimensions, notes, and other relevant properties.

The node does not output binary data for this operation; the output is purely JSON structured data representing the design details.

Dependencies

• Requires an active Printcart API token credential to authenticate requests.
• The node makes HTTP GET requests to the Printcart API endpoint:
  https://{sid}:{secret}@api.printcart.com/v1/designs/{designId}
  where {sid} and {secret} are credentials obtained from the API token.
• Proper configuration of the API token credential within n8n is necessary.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Invalid or expired API token leading to authentication errors.
  • Providing an incorrect or non-existent Design ID resulting in 404 Not Found errors.
  • Network connectivity issues preventing access to the Printcart API.

• Error messages and resolutions:

  • 401 Unauthorized: Check that the API token credential is correctly configured and valid.
  • 404 Not Found: Verify that the Design ID provided exists and is correct.
  • Request timeout or network error: Ensure stable internet connection and that the Printcart API service is reachable.

• Enabling "Continue On Fail" in the node settings can help handle errors gracefully during batch executions.
