Consume Prinrcart API

Actions83

Overview

This node integrates with the Printcart API, allowing users to manage various resources related to print-on-demand products and designs. Specifically, for the Side resource and the Delete Side operation, the node enables deleting a specific side of a product by its ID.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Automating product customization workflows by programmatically removing unwanted sides from products.
  • Managing product configurations in bulk without manual intervention.
  • Integrating Printcart product management into broader automation pipelines.

For example, if you have a product with multiple sides (e.g., front, back, left, right) and want to delete one side based on certain conditions or triggers, this node can perform that deletion via the API.

Properties

Name Meaning
Authentication Method of authentication; currently supports "API Token".
Side ID The unique identifier of the side to delete. This is required to specify which side should be removed.

Output

The node outputs a JSON array containing the response from the Printcart API after attempting to delete the specified side. The structure typically includes confirmation of deletion or error details if the operation failed.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Example output JSON might look like:

{
  "message": "Side deleted successfully",
  "sideId": "12345"
}

or an error message if deletion fails.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API token credential for authenticating requests to the Printcart API.
  • The node makes HTTP DELETE requests to the endpoint:
    https://{sid}:{secret}@api.printcart.com/v1/sides/{sideId}
    where {sid} and {secret} are credentials retrieved securely.
  • No additional external dependencies beyond network access to the Printcart API.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Side ID: If the provided Side ID does not exist or is incorrect, the API will return an error. Verify the Side ID before running the node.
  • Authentication Errors: Ensure the API token credential is valid and has sufficient permissions to delete sides.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems to the Printcart API endpoint may cause request failures.
  • API Rate Limits: Excessive requests might trigger rate limiting; handle such errors by retrying after some delay.
  • Error Messages: The node surfaces error messages returned by the API. Common messages include unauthorized access, not found, or bad request. Review these messages to adjust inputs or credentials accordingly.
