Steps
Register an application in the Formlabs Dashboard Developer Portal to obtain a client ID and client secret.
Exchange credentials for an access token using the standard OAuth flow described in the Dashboard API docs.
Call the Dashboard Web API to list registered printers, materials, and print/job history for automated reporting.
Apply the documented pagination/filtering parameters when pulling large history datasets for ERP/MES integration.
Use the separate Formlabs Local API instead when the goal is local, non-cloud job preparation or submission without launching PreForm's GUI.
Known gotchas
Access is limited to Formlabs.com accounts with actively registered, Internet-connected printers — you cannot query arbitrary printers without account association.
The Dashboard (cloud) API and the Local API are separate products with different auth models and capabilities — Dashboard is for monitoring/reporting, Local API is for on-network job prep/submission.
Tokens follow standard OAuth expiry; long-running integrations need refresh-token handling.
