Shutterfly Open API  |  Generic Explorer


Explore

This page lets you explore the Shutterfly Open API in a generic sense. It can assist you with call signature and, optionally, with user authentication. Outside of these functions, though, it does little: you must supply the URL path of the API, copy and paste your own XML to post, etc. This is useful in two scenarios: if Shutterfly hasn't developed an API explorer specifically for the API in question, or if you want to test out a particular XML without the constraints of Shutterfly spelling out the exact inputs (for example, perhaps you have a stored user authentication token but do not have the user's email/password).

This page is for TESTING ONLY and subject to change without notice. Fields marked with * are required.

Part 1: App ID, signature details

App ID:*

Sign up as a developer and create an app to get this!
Shared secret: *

Sign up as a developer and create an app to get this!
Hash method:

Blank == SHA1. Example: MD5
Timestamp:

Blank == Sfly current time. Example: 2009-10-21T01:29:32.000+03:00

Part 2: User authentication

This section is optional because not all Shutterfly APIs require user authentication, although most do. Enter whatever you have of the following:

  1. User e-mail by itself. (works for Seamless Sign-In; the user must have already granted permission to your app ID)
  2. User e-mail, plus password. (makes the system dynamically generate a new user auth token)
  3. User authentication token, by itself. (one that you know from a recent call)
  4. User token, by itself. (again for Seamless Sign-in if that applies)

User e-mail:
User password:
User auth token:
User token:

Part 3: Path

API Path*:

Omit server name. Omit URL parameters. Example: /user/santa@northpole.org
URL Parameters:

If any. Omit call signature parameters; they will be generated for you.
NOT URL-encoded, yet. No initial ? - Example: category-term=folder,album&et=cetera
Method*:
Scheme*:
