Technical resources for integrating NowToPrint with public API guides, webhook delivery, XJDF workflows, and machine-readable specs.

Developer Hub

This is the public developer surface for NowToPrint. Use it to evaluate the platform, import the canonical specs, and choose the right integration path before production rollout.

Public vs internal docs

Public developer docs cover onboarding, authentication, webhook delivery, XJDF interoperability, and published API contracts. Internal setup notes and engineering runbooks stay outside this surface.

Quickstart Path

Contact info@nowtoprint.com with your company, integration goal, and expected volume.

Generate an ntp_test_* key in the partner portal once access is approved.

Pull the published OpenAPI files from /docs/api/* into Postman, Bruno, Insomnia, or your SDK pipeline.

Start with POST /api/v1/estimate, then move to RFQ and order flows once your payloads are stable.

Add signed webhooks before production so quote and order state changes reach your systems.

Integration Surfaces

Surface	Authentication	Best for
Partner API	`Authorization: Bearer <ntp_* key>`	RFQ, quote, order, estimate, and commercial automation
XJDF / PrintTalk	Bearer or `X-API-Key`, optional mTLS	MIS, ERP, and standards-based workflow interoperability
Webhooks	Signed delivery	Event-driven order, quote, and fulfillment orchestration
Published specs	Public download	Client generation, contract review, and QA tooling
LLM discovery corpus	Public text endpoints	AI retrieval, GEO, and machine-readable indexing

Key Concepts

Concept	What to know
Key families	Use `ntp_test_` for sandbox and `ntp_live_` for production
Access model	API access is entitlement-based, not a generic self-serve pricing toggle
Idempotency	Use `X-Idempotency-Key` on write operations that may be retried
Contract source of truth	`/docs/api/*` is the canonical public machine-readable surface
Async operations	Webhooks and queued workflows should be treated as first-class paths
Governance	Trust dashboard state and response headers for current limits and rollout

Reference Docs

Partner API

Commercial integration surface for estimates, RFQs, quotes, orders, and partner workflows.

Getting Started

Access request, key creation, sandbox posture, and first API request.

Authentication

Bearer keys, permission posture, quota behavior, and secure key handling.

Webhook Access & Delivery

Signed delivery, retry posture, and entitlement-aware access guidance.

XJDF Integration

CIP4 XJDF 2.2, PrintTalk 2.2, and XJMF-aligned interoperability.

OpenAPI Explorer

Published spec downloads, Swagger preview, and surface-by-surface contract guidance.

Published Resources

Partner REST API Spec

Canonical public OpenAPI contract for Partner API v1.

XJDF / PrintTalk Spec

Machine-readable XJDF, PrintTalk, and XJMF-aligned contract.

Preflight Engine Spec

Queued PDF inspection contract for the preflight surface.

Swagger Preview

Interactive browser preview for the published XJDF and PrintTalk spec.

Common Integration Patterns

White-label commerce

Use the Partner API when you need to collect demand in your own product and outsource quote and order execution into NowToPrint.

Workflow interoperability

Use XJDF and PrintTalk when your source system is an MIS, ERP, or print workflow platform that needs standards-based message exchange.

Event-driven orchestration

Use signed webhooks to trigger CRM updates, customer communication, fulfillment, and internal workflow transitions.

Contract-first delivery

Import the specs before writing production code so QA, SDK generation, and partner onboarding all start from the same contract.

Error Handling Quick Reference

HTTP code	Meaning	Recommended action
`400`	Invalid request payload	Compare your request with the published schema
`401`	Missing or invalid credentials	Verify bearer key, header formatting, and environment
`403`	Scope or entitlement mismatch	Request the missing capability or broader access
`404`	Unknown resource or route	Recheck IDs, route family, and API surface version
`429`	Limit or rollout ceiling	Back off and trust `Retry-After` plus response headers
`5xx`	Platform or dependency failure	Retry with backoff and keep request identifiers
