By courtesy of Howest Campus Kortrijk, Digital Arts and Entertainment, Hanne Maes Overview • Who am I • Who are you • Who is i.materialise • What is an API • Typical business setup types • i.materialise APIs in detail • Q&A APIs in detail Materials catalog API Purpose: Needed: Provides info of all available materials and finishes in a structured XML response A registered email address APIs in detail Direct pricing API Purpose: Needed: Request: Retrieves the price of a specific model in a specific material without uploading the model to us, just based on model dimensions: x/y/z/volume/Surface. API Code & Product Type ID The typical input fields • Models dimensions • Requested material/finish • Desired Quantity • Shipment info APIs in detail Direct pricing API Response: • Repeating the request fields • Total price per model for requested quantity • Available transport services with price and transit time for all the models in the request • Disclaimer APIs in detail 3D print lab connection API Purpose: Upload a 3D file to the i.materialise server and returns links to the 3D print lab for redirecting your customers to Needed: Product Type ID Request: The typical input fields • File or File URL • Product Type ID • [Requested material/finish] Response: APIs in detail Cart item and Cart API Purpose: Create price confirmed cart items to put in a cart for redirecting the customer or ordering Needed: API code and Product Type ID Request: The typical input fields • File or File URL • Product Type ID • Requested material/finish • [Shipping / invoice address] • [Own price to visualize] • [Promo code] APIs in detail Cart item and Cart API Response: • • • • • • • Model ID Model parameters (x,y,z,vol,surf) Cart item and Cart ID Confirmed prices URLs to cart, shipping page [shipment options + cost] [Warnings / error messages] APIs in detail Cart ordering API Purpose: Needed: Request: Response: Checking out the cart and placing the order API code The typical input fields • Cart ID • Your order reference • Selected shipment service • [Delivery note file] • [Direct mailing allowed] • OrderNumber • TotalPrice APIs in detail Why splitting Cart item, Cart and Cart ordering ? Flexibility and control: ⁻ Re-usage of uploaded model as new cart item ⁻ Same model to different carts ⁻ Giving control over decisions based upon responses ⁻ Giving control over which BU case hold Discover possible partnerships Example: Pricing Assembly Logistics Logistics Q&A Questions?
