Is there any worldwide on demand photo printing API? [closed]

I run a website where users can upload art images and photographs. Now, I am looking for a photo printing API to sell printed products to visitors. I want to do this entirely from my own app, under my own domain. Basically, I need something similar to Google Cloud Print, but I really need high quality print products, like large canvases and aluminium prints. This print service would preferably be globally available and at least take care of the actual printing, international shipping and - if I would be really lucky - also customer service.

So far, I have not been very successful, because most print facilities do not have a very user-friendly API and/or require a minimum number of orders that is completely ridiculous. Suggestions are welcome!

Take a look at https://www.kite.ly for mobile print SDK's and RESTful print API offerings.

enter image description here

Full disclosure: I'm cofounder of the company so a little biased, but our products and offerings also happen to be really really good (especially from a developer integration point of view) so I'll take any chance to shout about it ;)

We're all about high quality, beautiful personalised products and we're adding new ones all the time: Photo Prints, Magnets, Postcards, Posters, Stickers, Phone cases, etc, etc...

  • REST Print API: https://www.kite.ly/docs/1.1/
  • iOS Print SDK: https://github.com/OceanLabs/iOS-Print-SDK
  • Android Print SDK: https://github.com/OceanLabs/Android-Print-SDK

Several of our partners also have millions of users hitting our services so you'll be in good company!

Here's a peek at our iOS Print SDK (Android is similar, and REST API is naturally without UI and for more advanced use cases):
