EWA data packages overview

XML data packages define how information is structured and exchanged when using the Wilcom EWA (Embroidery Web API). Each XML package consists of named elements, which contain attributes that hold specific data or instructions for the API to process. These XML elements describe everything the API needs — from input files, design specifications, and output options, to error handling and detailed design properties. Below are links to the main XML Data Definitions used throughout the API, providing details on how to structure each part of your XML requests and interpret responses:
  1. Error information
  2. API information
  3. Files
  4. Design information
  5. Design recipe
  6. Bitmap recipe
  7. Source bitmap recipe
  8. Vector recipe
  9. Auto-digitize options recipe
Info
Use these definitions as references when building your API requests or handling API responses to ensure correct data structure, smooth integration, and reliable results.
