Overview

This node integrates with the Printcart API to manage templates within a print-on-demand or custom product design workflow. Specifically, the "Update Template" operation allows users to modify an existing template's details such as project association, side, images, notes, layers, and viewport dimensions.

Use cases include:

  • Updating design templates when product designs change.
  • Adjusting template metadata like notes or layers for better organization.
  • Modifying preview or template images linked to a template.
  • Changing viewport size parameters to fit new design requirements.

For example, if you have a product template that needs a new preview image or updated layer information, this node operation lets you update those fields programmatically.

Properties

Name Meaning
Authentication Method of authentication; currently supports "API Token".
Project ID The identifier of the project to which the template belongs.
Side ID The identifier of the side (e.g., front, back) associated with the template.
Preview Image ID The identifier of the preview image used for the template.
Template Image ID The identifier of the main template image.
Note A textual note or description related to the template.
Layer Information about the layers in the template (likely a string representing layer data).
Viewport Width Numeric width of the viewport area for the template (supports one decimal precision).
Viewport Height Numeric height of the viewport area for the template (supports one decimal precision).
Template ID The unique identifier of the template to update.

Output

The node outputs a JSON array where each element corresponds to the response from the Printcart API for the update template request. The JSON object includes the updated template details as returned by the API, typically containing fields such as:

  • project_id
  • side_id
  • preview_image_id
  • template_image_id
  • note
  • layers
  • viewport_width
  • viewport_height
  • Other metadata related to the template

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API token credential for authenticating requests to the Printcart API.
  • The node makes HTTP requests to the Printcart API endpoints using the provided credentials.
  • No additional external dependencies are required beyond network access to the Printcart API.

Troubleshooting

  • Authentication errors: Ensure the API token is valid and has sufficient permissions.
  • Missing required parameters: All required fields (Project ID, Side ID, Preview Image ID, Template Image ID, Note, Layer, Viewport Width/Height, Template ID) must be provided; missing any will cause the API call to fail.
  • Invalid Template ID: If the template ID does not exist or is incorrect, the API will return an error indicating the resource was not found.
  • Network issues: Connectivity problems to the Printcart API endpoint can cause timeouts or failures.
  • API rate limits: Excessive requests may trigger rate limiting; handle such errors by retrying after some delay.

To resolve errors, verify all input parameters, check API token validity, and ensure network connectivity.
