SPOD

SPOD (Spreadshirt Print-On-Demand), now branded Spreadconnect, is the print-on-demand and dropshipping fulfillment service from Spreadshirt. Its REST API (base https://rest.spod.com) lets any shop system create customizable articles from designs, place and manage orders, choose shipping types and track shipments, browse the catalog of 250+ product types, check stock, and subscribe to webhook notifications for article, order, and shipment events. Authentication is a per-account API access token sent in the X-SPOD-ACCESS-TOKEN header. There are no setup or monthly fees; sellers are invoiced per fulfilled order (base product price plus print and shipping costs).

SPOD publishes 7 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Articles API, Common API, Orders API, and 4 more. Tagged areas include Print on Demand, Dropshipping, Fulfillment, E-Commerce, and Merchandise.

The SPOD catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

Market	Position	Depth	Registered MCP server	Declares compatibility
Amazon Seller Ecosystem (Selling Partner Appstore, Amazon Ads partners)	undeclared	-	-	-

Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.

Standards implemented 1

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
