API

Endpoints

All API endpoints can be found at  https://rissc.demo.printformer.net/docs/  

For example, information (such as DataKeys and CustomAttributes) can be read from a printformer template:

Another example of an API call flow:

api-samples.http

Server to server communication

All requests to /api-ext/* must have an  Authorization: Bearer and Accept: application/json header. The Authorization header contains the API key of the client as which the API should be addressed.

Example

CODE
curl -X POST "https://demo.printformer.net/api-ext/user" \
    -H "Accept: application/json" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer 6d74fe54e5dfc6380928966d9dbda33d"

The API key can be found in the printformer Admin menu under Integrations > API Keys in the individual clients (> API).

File recall

For file retrieval using the API endpoints under /api-ext/files/* , the generation of a JWT is necessary.
Through the parametersr jtiexp and urlPath  which can be modified by the external platform, the validity of the file URL can be set appropriately depending on the use case.

The API endpoints do not directly deliver the file, but only a short valid redirect to the actual file URL.

User authentication

To log a user from an external platform into printfomer (e.g. for the editor call) a JWT must be generated.

urlPath

Payload

URL-Path

/api-ext/files/draft/$draftId/print

no

Validated as soon as the claim is in the token. Should be set e.g. when generating the token for file retrieval to prevent a token from being valid for multiple file retrieval URLs.

redirect

Payload

URL to which the user should be redirected after successful login

https://demo.printformer.net/editor/$draftId/edit

no

Must be generated from the external platform

jti

Header

Nonce, must not be used twice, must be generated again for each JWT

no

Required as soon as a user is to be authenticated, e.g. when calling the editor.

exp

Payload

Expiration Date (Timestamp UTC) how long this JWT is valid for

1511430662 

no

Validated as soon as the claim is in the token.

The JWT is signed with a Sha256 (the API key of the client is used again as the key).

In the browser https://demo.printformer.net/auth?jwt={JWT} is then called.
