An API (Application Programming Interface) is, simply put, a set of URLs (such as https://api.profotonet.nl/v1/products) that you can call directly from an application. This allows you, for example, to automatically send orders placed on your platform to ours, where we can process them without any manual intervention.
What can I do with your API?
Our API is designed for the automated submission of orders. Typical users include school photographers who run their own ordering platforms and want a direct connection to a professional photo lab.
Once you’ve been granted access to the API, you can:
- Retrieve a list of available products
- Use those products to place orders
- Check the status of orders after submission
- Define a custom URL so we can notify your platform when an order status changes
How do I implement the API?
API implementation is usually handled by a software or web developer. If you’re a developer yourself and familiar with REST APIs, implementation should be straightforward. If not, you can share our documentation with your developer, who can take it from there.
Please follow this link for the Profotonet API documentation.
Not familiar with APIs but processing large volumes of orders? Profotosales might be a suitable alternative for you.
