Setup App

Before you can use swuploader you must have an application setup on shapeways.com this can be setup/registered at https://developers.shapeways.com/manage-apps/create. You will also need to note your consumer key and consumer secret from your app's settings page.

Authenticate

Once you have an application setup with shapeways.com you must authenticate with the api server before you can start to upload models, to do so run the following:

swuploader auth <consumer_key> <consumer_secret> ./auth.json

This will give you a url to use for authentication, once you follow that url and authorize with your application you will be given a verifier code to enter to complete the authentication process.

As a result of running this command you will have a file auth.json which will contain required keys/tokens/secrets necessary for all subsequent requests.

Upload

Finally you are ready to upload. In order to upload you need a folder which contains the model files that you want to upload (see http://www.shapeways.com/tutorials/supported-applications for a list of supported file types).

For each model file you must supply an additional .ini file containing information about the model which is being uploaded. For example:

name=Sphere
file=./sphere.stl

For supported properties please see: http://developers.shapeways.com/docs?li=dh_docs#POST_-models-v1 for the list of accepted paramaters.

note for materials, please provide them in the format material.<material_id>=<markup>.

Your directory structure should look similar to:

$ ls -1
auth.json
model.obj
model.ini
sphere.ini
sphere.stl

Once you have your model files and .ini files ready you can run swuploader like so:

swuploader upload ./auth.json

swuploader will then read all the .ini files in the current directory and upload the model file assigned to the file attribute along with the other provided properties in the .ini file.
