Preflight Tool APIs

• Less than a minute to read

The Preflight Web API is a REST API that allows you to verify that users' print files are compatible with your printing equipment. You can define preflight rules and check if print files match those rules by using HTTP requests.

The Preflight Web API allows you to:

• Upload files to the server
• Download files from the server
• Check preflight rules
• Get the build info

After you have deployed the Preflight Tool, you can navigate to <your-instance-url>/swagger and explore the interactive Web API in your browser. You can also download a code sample demonstrating how to validate print files.

This Web API doesn't require authentication. In the examples of this section, we use the appUrl variable that represents a folder on your server where you deployed this tool, for example, http://example.com/pt/.
