Printcart

Overview

This node integrates with the Printcart API, enabling users to interact programmatically with various Printcart resources such as accounts, stores, products, designs, images, cliparts, projects, templates, storages, fonts, webhooks, and folders. Specifically, for the Design resource and the Get List of Images Design operation, the node fetches a list of design images from the Printcart platform.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include automating the retrieval of design assets for print-on-demand workflows, syncing design data with other systems, or managing design inventories programmatically.

For example, a user might use this node to:

• Retrieve all design images available in their Printcart account to display them in a custom dashboard.
• Automate backups of design images by fetching and storing them regularly.
• Integrate design image data into an e-commerce platform or marketing tool.

Properties

Note: The provided input properties JSON only includes the "Authentication" property with a single option "API Token". Other parameters relevant to the "Design" resource and its operations (like limits, sorting, status filters) are defined internally in the node but not listed here.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the Printcart API for the requested operation.

For the Get List of Images Design operation under the Design resource, the output JSON contains an array of design image objects retrieved from the endpoint:

GET https://{sid}:{secret}@api.printcart.com/v1/designs/images

Each object in the array typically includes metadata about a design image such as IDs, URLs, notes, status, viewport dimensions, and uploader information, depending on the API's response structure.

The node does not explicitly handle binary data for this operation; it returns JSON-formatted metadata about design images.

Dependencies

• Requires an API token credential for authenticating requests to the Printcart API.
• The node uses HTTP requests to communicate with the Printcart REST API endpoints.
• No additional external services or environment variables are required beyond the API token credential.

Troubleshooting

• Authentication Errors: If the API token is invalid or missing, the node will fail to authenticate. Ensure that a valid API token credential is configured in n8n.
• Network Issues: Connectivity problems to api.printcart.com can cause request failures. Verify network access and firewall settings.
• Parameter Errors: Missing or incorrect parameters (e.g., invalid resource or operation names) may cause errors. Double-check the selected resource and operation.
• API Rate Limits: Excessive requests may be throttled by the Printcart API. Implement retry logic or reduce request frequency if needed.
• Unexpected Response Structure: Changes in the Printcart API response format could affect output parsing. Review API documentation if issues arise.

If the node is set to continue on failure, errors for individual items will be returned in the output JSON with an error field describing the issue.
