Walgreens is happy to announce our newest Photo Prints API integration fresh from the kitchen of Lasso Media, Inc. The 4x6 Prints, can be found on the Apple App Store!
4x6 Prints was built out of necessity to take your precious moments and quickly get them to print at any Walgreens store.

"Also, Walgreens early support of Apple Pay in all its stores made them the perfect partner for an iOS print app!"

We're going to Evans Data Conference 2016
It’s that time of year again for us to head out to Palo Alto and take part in the annual Evan’s Data Developer Relations Conference! This year we will have our developer evangelist, Drew Schweinfurth, talk about "Creating enduring partnerships that inspire loyalty” during the Developer Bootcamp session on Sunday, March 20th.
Last year we had a great learning and teaching experience! Seeing all the developer evangelists and advocates helped us gain a better understanding of how each others programs operate. We look forward to the rewarding conversations we will be having at this years conference, where we will be digging down into the trenches of developer evangelism.
We plan to make two new announcements that we’re very proud of as we continue to grow our developer program. Please stay tuned either remotely or come hangout with us at the event!
Thanks,
The Walgreens API Team
