```

### Setup App

Before you can use `swuploader` you must have an application setup on
shapeways.com this can be setup/registered at
https://developers.shapeways.com/manage-apps/create.
You will also need to note your `consumer key` and `consumer secret` from your
app's settings page.

### Authenticate
Once you have an application setup with shapeways.com you must authenticate with
the api server before you can start to upload models, to do so run the
following:

```bash
swuploader auth <consumer_key> <consumer_secret> ./auth.json
```

This will give you a url to use for authentication, once you follow that url and
authorize with your application you will be given a `verifier code` to enter to
complete the authentication process.

As a result of running this command you will have a file `auth.json` which will
contain required keys/tokens/secrets necessary for all subsequent requests.

### Upload
Finally you are ready to upload. In order to upload you need a folder which
contains the model files that you want to upload (see
http://www.shapeways.com/tutorials/supported-applications for a list of
supported file types).

For each model file you must supply an additional `.ini` file containing
information about the model which is being uploaded. For example:
```ini
name=Sphere
file=./sphere.stl
```

For supported properties please see:
http://developers.shapeways.com/docs?li=dh_docs#POST_-models-v1 for the list of
accepted paramaters.

*note* for materials, please provide them in the format
`material.<material_id>=<markup>`.

Your directory structure should look similar to:

```bash
$ ls -1
auth.json
model.obj
model.ini
sphere.ini
sphere.stl
```

Once you have your model files and `.ini` files ready you can run `swuploader`
like so:

```bash
swuploader upload ./auth.json
```

`swuploader` will then read all the `.ini` files in the current directory and
upload the model file assigned to the `file` attribute along with the other
provided properties in the `.ini` file.
