• search_artworks

  Use this when someone wants to find original paintings, prints, photographs or sculpture from independent artists by subject, style, colour, size or budget. It returns only works that meet everything asked for, each with what it met…

• get_artwork

  Use this when someone wants the full facts about one work before deciding: what it is, its size, how it looks, what delivery costs and when it ships, whether it can be returned, who made it, and what Fold verified about the seller. Full…

• check_availability

  Use this right before offering a buyer a specific work or impression, to confirm it can still be bought. Re-check whether specific impressions are still purchasable, immediately before presenting them to a buyer or attempting a purchase…

• find_artworks_for_wall

  Use this when a buyer says where a work will hang — how wide and high the wall is, and the sofa, bed or sideboard below it if any — and wants to know what size suits it. It answers with the size range that suits the wall by Fold’s rules…

• find_similar_artworks

  Use this when a buyer wants more works that look like one they have seen — a work on Fold, or a photo they have. It answers with the works on sale whose images look like it, each with its similarity from 0 to 1, and only those at or above…

• save_search_alert

  Use this when a buyer wants to hear about works listed later that match what they are looking for. It saves the search — the buyer’s words in query and the same filters as search_artworks — and tells the buyer by e-mail, or your own…

• get_search_alert

  Use this when a buyer asks about an alert for new works they saved: whether it is waiting for them to confirm it, active or ended, what it watches, when it last sent works and when it ends. Needs the search_alert_id and manage_token…

• cancel_search_alert

  Use this when a buyer wants to stop an alert for new works. Nothing more is sent, and the saved words, filters and address are erased. Needs the search_alert_id and manage_token save_search_alert gave; a buyer can also stop it from any…

• get_delivered_quote

  Use this when a buyer asks what a work will cost delivered to them and when it would arrive. Given one listing_id and a US destination (a five-digit ZIP code, and the state if known), it answers with the price, the seller’s delivery…

• get_order_status

  Use this when a buyer asks where their order is or what they can still claim. With the token from the order page’s address, or the order reference from the confirmation e-mail and the e-mail address the buyer gave at checkout, it answers…

• open_claim

  Use this when a buyer wants to return a work or report a problem with an order: damage or a difference from the description on arrival, non-delivery, a doubt about authenticity or title, an agent purchase they did not authorise…

• start_purchase

  Use this when the buyer has chosen one work and wants to buy it. Begin buying ONE impression. An impression is a single physical object — a unique painting, or one numbered print of an edition — so exactly one listing_id is accepted; to…

• get_purchase

  Use this to see where a purchase the buyer started stands. Read the current state of a purchase you started. Totals and availability reflect this moment, not when it was started — a work can sell to another buyer while yours is deciding.

• set_delivery

  Use this when the buyer gives the address the work should go to: it prices delivery and sales tax into the total. Supply the delivery address, which is what makes a total payable. Fold delivers only to the 50 states and DC. Sales tax…

• confirm_purchase

  Use this only once the buyer has seen the full total and said yes: it pays for the work. Only for agents whose operator has a payment agreement with Fold. Charge for the work. Calling this ASSERTS that the buyer has seen the full total…

• cancel_purchase

  Use this when the buyer decides not to buy. Abandon a purchase and release any hold on the work, so another collector can buy it. A purchase already being paid for cannot be cancelled: it will complete, or be resolved by a person at Fold…
