2. Fixup Parameter Changes
There may have been changes of Fixup variables and parameters in every single Durst Workflow Release. These changes are independent of the Rest-API development, because the Fixup's kfpx/xml files are continuously improved and adapted by our experts. Please refer to our Release Notes and check the variables und parameters to adapt your API implementation before updating. Use GET fixups and GET fixups/{id} to fetch the current fixups details and then adapt the corresponding API requests where Fixup parameters are used.
3. Introduction
The Durst Workflow API provides an interface to Durst Workflow functions such as creating Articles, Print Orders and Production Jobs. It also features retrieval of applied Substrates and Substrate Categories and associated Color Policies. Status information can be returned to connected ERP/MIS systems via callback URLs (subscriptions).
The API is a REST (Representational State Transfer) service. As application layer protocols HTTP and HTTPS are used. REST unifies the interface between systems to a manageable and standardised set of actions regarding the expected behavior, which are explained in detail in this document.
Even with intensive testing and careful research, we cannot guarantee the full correctness of the documentation. Since the interface is constantly being expanded, the scope of the documentation will also change constantly. Please always note the publication date and revision number as well as the compatibility note of the used function.
