REST API

The REST API provides access to label printing and label-related operations via standard HTTP requests and responses.

This REST API is available in two configurations:

• Print Server (Desktop) – the main desktop application runs in the background (visible only in the system tray) and exposes the REST API. In this configuration, certain endpoints that rely on graphical user interface features (such as preview rendering) are available.
  
  
• Print Server (Service) – a separate Windows service that runs in the background and provides REST API access. Endpoints that require GUI interaction are not available in this configuration.

To explore the full list of available API endpoints, visit the AzureLabel REST API Documentation.
