Spreadshirt is your place to create and buy customized apparel, such as T-shirts, cups or stickers. In order to allow developers to make use of this functionality in their own applications, we now provide a new Spreadshirt API. The Spreadshirt API provides access to a set of Spreadshirt's platform functionality, such as product creation, design upload or basket creation, and allows you to start building your own shops, mass-customization applications and integrations on top of our platform.

To get started in using the Spreadshirt API:

• [Watch the YouTube Video about Spreadshirt's REST API|http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IlGvHPq9D4], that gives and introduction to the API and tells you about the opportunities for you.
• [Browse our API documentation|API:API] to become familiar with our API, i.e. REST API urls and representations and status codes.
• Conduct API calls using your [Web browser|http://api.spreadshirt.net/api/v1/shops/205909] or our [API browser|http://demoapp.spreadshirt.net/apibrowser/].
• [Register for an API key|developer@spreadshirt.net] with your Spreadshirt user id in case you need access to special features, such as product creation, design upload or basket creation. [Register for a Spreadshirt shop|http://www.spreadshirt.net/open-t-shirt-shop-C5781], in case you don't have one yet.
• [Checkout the applications section|API:Applications] to get sample code, find out what other people did with our API and get some fresh ideas. Checkout the [Simplomat (Simple Shirt Designer)|Simplomat (Simple Shirt Designer Demo)] demos in case you work with Javascript.
