Star maps,
made to order.
The Starmap API for print-on-demand and dropshipping shops: generate a personalized star map per order, at the moment it’s placed. No inventory to hold, no fulfillment stock to forecast, no renderer to build — just an API call that returns a print-ready file.
Why sellers use it instead of pre-printing stock
A star map only means something once it has a real place, date, and time behind it — which means it can’t be pre-rendered into inventory the way a generic poster can. Rendering on demand, per order, is the only version of this product that actually works for a print-on-demand or dropshipping catalog:
- No inventory. Nothing is rendered — or paid for — until a customer orders it.
- Fits your fulfillment flow. Call the API after checkout, hand the file straight to your print partner.
- A real live preview. Customers can see their exact map — place, date, colors — before they buy, not a stock photo.
- Print-ready output. SVG for print partners, PNG for anywhere else — both from the same request.
How it fits an on-demand order flow
- Your storefront collects the place, date, and time from the buyer — the customization is the product.
- At checkout (or fulfillment time), your system calls
GET /api/starmap.svgwith those values and your API key. - The response is a print-ready file — hand it to your print-on-demand or dropshipping partner for that one order.
- Nothing is generated, stored, or paid for until the order that needs it actually exists.
The full request/response shape — parameters, formats, quota headers — is documented in the API guide and the interactive API reference.

Questions sellers ask
Do I need to hold any inventory?
No. Every map is rendered on demand from the API when an order comes in — there’s nothing to pre-print or warehouse. This is what makes it a fit for print-on-demand and dropshipping: your catalog is a template, not a stock of finished posters.
Can I resell the maps I generate?
Yes — any Studio plan lets you generate and sell finished maps to your own customers. There’s no per-resale fee beyond your monthly render quota.
What format do I get back, and is it print-ready?
SVG (best for handing to a print partner or further editing) or PNG, at whatever width you request. Both come back from a single request, ready to send straight into a fulfillment pipeline.
How does it fit into an on-demand fulfillment flow?
Call the API at order time — after checkout, not before — with the buyer’s chosen place, date, and time. You get back a file to hand to your print-on-demand or dropshipping partner for that specific order, with nothing rendered until it’s actually sold.
Is there a way to test it before committing?
Studio accounts are free to create, and the visual creator gives you a live, unwatermarked-preview of exactly what the API produces before you write any integration code.
