# Scalable Press API

API for on-demand custom printing services including product catalog, quoting, ordering, design management, billing, and mockup generation. The API exposes 24 endpoints secured with basic authentication.

## For AI agents

Programmatically get a list of available product categories, get category information and product list. Covers 24 operations with basic authentication.

## Scope

Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for e-commerce only.

## Capabilities

- Get a list of available product categories
- Create a standard quote for a single design on one or more products
- Integrate Scalable Press API into automated workflows
- Query and filter Scalable Press API records by parameters
- Monitor Scalable Press API operational status and events

## Use cases

### E-Commerce Operations

Use the Scalable Press API to perform e commerce operations programmatically. The API provides 24 endpoints covering core functionality including get a list of available product categories, get category information and product list, get product information including materials, colors, and sizes.

Example prompt: Call GET `/v2/categories` to get a list of available product categories

### Automated Products Management

Automate products operations by combining multiple Scalable Press API endpoints. Agents can get category information and product list and then get product information including materials, colors, and sizes in a single workflow.

Example prompt: Call GET `/v2/categories/{categoryId}` to get category information and product list, then verify the result

### AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Scalable Press API endpoints through Jentic without managing credentials directly. An agent searches for the required operation by intent, receives the matching endpoint schema, and executes the call with Jentic-managed authentication. This eliminates the need to read API documentation or handle basic tokens manually.

Example prompt: Search Jentic for 'get a list of available product categories', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** Wiring the Scalable Press API by hand means putting your API key in the password field of HTTP basic auth and navigating categories, products, quotes, and their ids yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the Scalable Press API from the API Directory, store the API key once, and your agent calls it.
- **Permission scoping:** Scalable Press puts the product id in the URL path (`/v2/products/{productId}`), so a rule can pin your agent to one product. You choose the operations it may call, so a write like requesting a bulk quote is not included unless you add it alongside the read operations.
- **Credential handling:** Your Scalable Press API key is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
- **Discovery method:** Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'list product categories' or 'get product availability', and Jentic returns the matching Scalable Press API operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

## FAQ

### What authentication does the Scalable Press API use?

The Scalable Press API uses HTTP Basic authentication with username and password. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in your Jentic One instance and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.

### Can I get a list of available product categories with the Scalable Press API?

Yes. Use the GET `/v2/categories` endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

### What are the rate limits for the Scalable Press API?

Rate limits are not specified in the OpenAPI spec. Check the vendor documentation for current limits. Through Jentic, rate limiting is handled automatically with retry logic built into the execution layer.

### How do I get a list of available product categories through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'get a list of available product categories'. Jentic returns the matching Scalable Press API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.

### How many endpoints does the Scalable Press API have?

The Scalable Press API exposes 24 endpoints covering products, quotes, orders operations.

### Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Scalable Press API?

Yes. Jentic One is self-hosted, so your own rules decide which Scalable Press operations and credentials the agent can use. Because the product id sits in the URL path (`/v2/products/{productId}`), you can pin the agent to a single product, and you choose exactly which operations it may call. That means you can grant read operations like GET `/v2/categories` and GET `/v2/products/{productId}` while withholding a write like creating a bulk quote unless you add it explicitly.
