Re: API auth token

Brilliant - thank you!! I suspect whoever the first person who asks Tharstern to build the app will have to foot the integration bill... I did ask if they had one and their response was more or less "why - you have an API?". I think we are getting there with this... So should I be okay to ...

Re: API auth token

Hi freddyp, Thanks for your response. Yes after looking into it a bit more this does seem standard - just seemed like an odd way to go about it on first look. We are in the process of switching over to Tharstern - they done have an app unfortunately. If I ran with your suggested method I would need ...

Re: API auth token

Sorry for the ignorance - how would that help? From what I understand that app looks like it's just a tool for running command/shell stuff?

API auth token

Hi Guys! Been working on a few bits with extracting orders from XML to inject into the API for our new MIS. I have all the data read in as metadata and so can reference it to use for the HTTP requests. The API uses some weird auth method - where you pass username and password as parameters which the...

Re: Copying files to network locations

Hi Matt!

I have had this issue a couple of times in the past - I think the solution was to have an Output Hierarchy as the final item that places it in the desired folder.

Have a try - I think that seemed to solve it for me?

Re: XML to either CSV or API call?

Hi!

Thanks for your help on this!

Managed to bodge an existing XLST app and mapping we have for something else...

Splits the order nodes out into individual XML files which I can then use downstream for API calls :)

Thanks again for your help!!!!!

Re: XML to either CSV or API call?

Ahhh brilliant! I didnt even think about using the metadata pickup to do this... (yeah I know - i'm still learning as I go). I have picked up the XML and can see it as metadata to reference - great! How can I handle this if there are more than one "items" that have been ordered and so mult...

XML to either CSV or API call?

Hi Guys! Long story short - I need to be able to take an XML file and use the data contained to either create an API call or generate a CSV that can be picked up by an external hotfolder. The XML contains order information from EFI's online storefront which we need to use to trigger a job creation w...

AutoProofing to email address

Hi All! I am looking to set up a flow that allows a customer to submit a file which then pings back either an email or a preflight report. The later part isn't a problem, my issue is that I can't work out a simple (for the customer) way to associate an email address with the submitted job. It works ...

Re: Overlay with positioning

That sounds about right to me - how can I do that? They are currently in 2 files of around 500 pages (records) each.

Apologies - I dont have much experience with Pitstop Actions and that kind of thing...

Overlay with positioning

Hi Guys! I have some base artwork, say 1 page A4, that I need to overlay pre-existing mailing labels onto. The labels exist as pages in a PDF - but the pages are not the same size as the base artwork. I can split down into individual pages - but im stuck on how to say "overlay this smaller page...

Re: Hidden Files

Just a heads up to any future people who might be looking at this - it was to do with moving things around between different network locations and the safe copy feature.
