PrintNode is a cloud printing service which allows you to connect any printer to your application using our PrintNode Client and easy to use JSON API.

This quick start guide covers using the Java API Library. There are examples to show how to use the API Library. It assumes that you have a PrintNode account.

Firstly, you will want to import java.io.IOException, as a lot of the methods throw IOExceptions because of the org.apache.http packages throw them, and are used extensively throughout PrintNode-Java. A .jar file is included in PrintNode-Java/jar/.

Here is some sample code:

import java.io.IOException;
import com.printnode.api.*;

public class Example{
	public static void main(String args[] throws IOException { //To avoid try catches
		Auth myAuth = new Auth()
		myAuth.setApiKey("MyApiKey");

		APIClient myClient = new APIClient(myAuth);

		Computer[] myComputers = myClient.getComputers("");
	}
}

##Compiling from source

###Prerequisites

• org.apache.commons
• org.apache.http
• com.google.gson
• org.apache.commons-logging

Then place these files in lib/ or add them to your CLASSPATH.

The included compile.sh will then compile all the files and place them in PrintNode-Java/build/.

##Maven

###Prerequisites

• Change /src/test/java/com/printnode/api/AppTest.java to use your own API-Key.

Running mvn install dependency:copy-dependencies package in the base folder will then build a PrintNode-Java.jar into target/ and will put all the dependencies required in target/dependency/.

##Docs

A javadoc is included in PrintNode-Java/docs/.
