Preesy

Create a temporary Preesy session so a person can print a document from a public computer. Any place with a computer, a browser and internet can print it: library, bookshop, print or copy shop, internet cafe, hotel, office. No Preesy app or partnership is needed. The person opens preesy.com, or tells the staff "Preesy" plus the label (and the PIN, if set); the staff enter it on the site and print. The document expires automatically. A label is the name the person types on the Preesy website to find the document. Labels are not unique: anyone who types the same label can find the document. A 4-digit PIN keeps out anyone who does not know it. Set one when the document is sensitive. Choose pin and lifetime_hours from the person's situation before you upload. Use what they already said. Ask one short question only when you cannot tell a pin or lifetime that matters, then upload. If you already know, upload without asking. Set lifetime_hours for when they will print. It must be from 1 to 168 hours. The document is deleted automatically, so a shorter time keeps less data. Omitting lifetime_hours stores the default, which is only a fallback. print_only defaults to false, so the page allows print and download. If the person already said whether they want print only, set print_only on create. If they did not say, create the session with print_only false, then ask the person once whether they want it print only, and if yes call set_print_only. One session can hold several files, as on the website, up to 10 files and 50 MB in total. Send files for more than one document, file for one, or text for plain text. Send file, files, or text, one of them. Each field is described in the input schema. one_time_access: If true, this is a single-use label. As soon as a file or the zip is printed or downloaded, it is removed from the system. Default false. Keep the manage_token in this conversation and use it for later get_print_session, set_print_only, and expire_print_session requests until the session expires. Each session has its own manage_token. If the conversation has several sessions, keep each token with its label and use the one that matches the session the person means. Share the token with the person only if they ask, and never post it anywhere else. The label and PIN cannot manage the session.

End a Preesy session now, so its files can no longer be printed or downloaded. Use the manage_token of that session from its create_print_session result earlier in the conversation. The manage_token is secret. A session that has already ended returns status expired.

Check a Preesy print session's status with its manage_token. Use the manage_token of that session from its create_print_session result earlier in the conversation. The manage_token is a secret and must be kept private. one_time_access: If true, this is a single-use label. As soon as a file or the zip is printed or downloaded, it is removed from the system. one_time_used: True once a file or the zip has been printed or downloaded. The label is then removed from the system. An expired session returns status only.

Turn print-only on or off for a Preesy session. With print-only on, the files can be printed but not downloaded, which keeps documents safer on shared computers. Use the manage_token of that session from its create_print_session result earlier in the conversation. The manage_token is secret. An expired session returns status only.
