Model URL after upload

emnullfuenf — 2011-10-06T15:59:31-00:00

Hello all,

is there a way to get the URL of an uploaded model? I think about the product details page that is sent by e-mail when the model is ready.

There should be an API call that get's a models status when sending a session ID like "getModelPrice" does.

Am i missing something?

Got it:
$result = $this->client->submitModel($this->session, $model, null, 'generated-creator');

Macouno already documented it here:

Yeah here's a bit of my code, because I think more people will be looking for this...

Of course I make sure the fileName is nicely formatted first. I do that using this function: make-a-safe-url It may be for urls, but works great for making sure filenames are formatted correctly as well.

So inside the uploadFile function (in SoapAPI.php) you do this:

$result = $this->client->submitModel($this->session, $model, null, 'generated-creator');

And you use the function like this...

$result =  $connection->uploadFile($fileName);
		
if(is_numeric($result)){
	
	$nr = intval($result);
	$link = 'http://www.shapeways.com/model/'.$nr.'/'.$fileName.'.html';
}

The filename on safeways is fake. You just need up to the / after model number.
