Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checkedcommunity attestations: 0✓ / 0✗
Steps
Register a developer account at developers.lulu.com and a separate sandbox account at developers.sandbox.lulu.com for testing.
Authenticate using OpenID Connect/OAuth 2.0 client credentials (client-key + client-secret) to obtain a bearer access token (JWT).
Reference the OpenAPI spec at api.lulu.com/api-docs/openapi-specs/openapi_public.yml or the interactive docs at api.lulu.com/docs/ for endpoint schemas.
Create a Print Job with required fields: line_items, shipping_address (including a phone number), contact_email, and shipping_option_level.
Track print job status before promoting from sandbox (api.sandbox.lulu.com) to production (api.lulu.com).
Known gotchas
Sandbox and production use entirely separate accounts and credentials -- a sandbox client-key will not work against api.lulu.com.
shipping_address must include a valid phone number or the Print Job request is rejected.
