An API is a way to pull and push data into one application from another. We built an API to allow our customers to connect 3rd party applications on the web to Printavo which helps you be even more efficient. Beware, this article might get a bit technical for some folks.

In this example, we’ll be POSTing a new order to your Printavo account. Read more about sending data to APIs.
