API (application programming interface)

API (application programming interface)

Also known as API, REST API, application programming interface. Category: E-commerce and workflow

An application programming interface (API) is a defined way for software systems to exchange data and call each other's functions. Web APIs, often REST APIs over HTTP with JSON, connect a photo studio with shops, PIM, DAM and ERP systems.

How PhotoRobot uses it

PhotoRobot provides APIs at two levels: the Cloud API for integrating the whole studio workflow with customer systems, and an API in each robot's control unit, which controls only machine movement and is available on request.

See on photorobot.com

  • System integration and API connectivity

Related terms

  • PhotoRobot Cloud API: PhotoRobot's REST API for integrating the studio with catalogue, DAM, PIM and e-commerce systems.
  • Webhook: An HTTP request one system sends to another automatically when an event happens.
  • Export feed: A machine-readable XML or JSON list of items and image URLs that other systems read automatically.
  • Control unit: The computer inside or beside every PhotoRobot that drives its motors, triggers cameras and connects it to the network.
