Steps

  1. Verify IngramSpark has no published self-serve developer API for independent authors/publishers as of 2026; large-scale integrations go through a separate, account-managed Ingram EDI/data feed process.
  2. Create and manage titles through the IngramSpark web dashboard's Title Setup wizard: upload interior PDF, cover PDF, and enter metadata fields manually.
  3. Use the IngramSpark User Guide PDF for exact file specs (trim size, bleed, cover templates) per title type.
  4. For bulk catalogs, ask Ingram whether your publisher tier qualifies for EDI/data feed integration -- this requires a sales conversation, not a self-serve signup.
  5. Track distribution status and sales through the dashboard's reporting section.
