| 3 | Spreadshirt provides several ways to offer an online shop experience to your customers and earn money through commission: | ||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | 1. The standalone Spreadshop ([[this>>url:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/SpreadShop||rel="nofollow" shape="rect" class="external-link"]], for example). This application is officially developed, hosted and maintained by Spreadshirt. Running a Spreadshop requires zero technical skills and is always the recommended approach. | ||
| 6 | 1. JavaScript integration (described [[here>>url:https://help.spreadshop.com/hc/en-us/articles/360010529039-Website-Integration-with-JavaScript||shape="rect"]]). If you have an existing website, you can embed a piece of JavaScript into it that manipulates your website in order to embed the Spreadshop into your site. This requires a decent understanding of HTML and CSS in order to resolve any conflicts between your site and the Spreadshop that may arise. | ||
| 7 | 1. CMS plugins for [[WordPress>>url:https://wordpress.org/plugins/spreadshop/#developers||rel="nofollow" shape="rect" class="external-link"]] and others (currently just [[Joomla>>url:https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/spreadshop/||rel="nofollow" shape="rect" class="external-link"]]) that embed the JavaScript snippet mentioned in (2.) for you. If you run a website based on such CMS, these plugins can make your life a bit easier. An understanding of HTML and CSS is nonetheless important. | ||
| 8 | 1. An independent, custom built web application based on the **Public Shop API** described in this document. This interface is for web developers only (or people who can afford to hire one). Going for this approach is only feasible for people who have a solid understanding of server side & client side programming, HTTP, HTML and CSS. | ||

| 12 | Spreadshirt runs a European and a North American platform that are independent from another. You need to: | ||
| 13 | |||
| 14 | * Choose a platform | ||
| 15 | * Register a Spreadshop: | ||
| 16 | ** Europe: [[here>>url:https://www.spreadshirt.net/start-selling-C5780||shape="rect"]] | ||
| 17 | ** North America: [[here>>url:https://www.spreadshirt.com/start-selling-shirts-C3598||shape="rect"]] | ||
| 18 | * Visit this partner area page of the appropriate platform to retrieve your API Key: | ||
| 19 | ** Europe: [[here>>url:https://partner.spreadshirt.net/apiKey||shape="rect"]] | ||
| 20 | ** North America: [[here>>url:https://partner.spreadshirt.com/apiKey||shape="rect"]] | ||

| 24 | * The API described here is loosely based on [[REST>>url:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfer||shape="rect"]] principles. This means among other things that all endpoints can be accessed via HTTPS and HTTP clients like [[curl>>url:https://curl.haxx.se/||shape="rect"]] or [[postman>>url:https://www.getpostman.com/||shape="rect"]] can be used directly to explore the API. | ||
| 25 | * The base url for all requests is [[https:~~/~~/api.spreadshirt.net>>url:https://api.spreadshirt.net||shape="rect"]] for eu or [[https:~~/~~/api.spreadshirt.com>>url:https://api.spreadshirt.com||shape="rect"]] for na. (This only applies to REST resources, images are retrieved from [[https:~~/~~/image.spreadshirtmedia.net>>url:https://image.spreadshirtmedia.net||shape="rect"]] or [[https:~~/~~/image.spreadshirtmedia.com>>url:https://image.spreadshirtmedia.com||shape="rect"]].) | ||
| 26 | * ((( | ||
| 27 | (% class="auto-cursor-target" %) | ||
| 28 | All requests have to be made with HTTP headers "Authorization" and "User-Agent". The authorization header must include your API key and the user agent header must include the name of your application, then its version, followed by a domain and a contact email address: | ||

| 53 | Failing to provide this information may result in your requests getting blocked at any point in time because traffic of unknown source can be considered illegitimate. | ||
| 54 | ))) | ||
| 55 | * All requests should be performed with a ?mediaType=json query parameter to get the responses in the recommended JSON format. Leaving the parameter out may or may not result in a response in XML format which is harder to work with. | ||
| 56 | * All REST resources return HTTP status code 200 or 201 in case of successful requests. Status codes from the 4xx range indicate a mistake on your side while errors from the 5xx range indicate an error on ours. | ||
| 57 | * Timestamps are returned in ISO8601 format. | ||
