Troubleshooting: Publication API

Failed to create the project: Invalid attempt to create a book without a print product.

   I've been trying to upload my cover and content PDF's. It was giving me an error during my createProject call that the size of my covers were wrong. I traced that down to my DPI being different than expected (apparently) then it started giving me the error: "Failed to create the project: Invalid attempt to create a book without a print product."

   What does this mean?

   This is likely a problem with how you are specifying your pricing. You need to make sure you are including the "print" product in the pricing structure. For example,

   "pricing":[
       {
       "product":"print",
       "currency_code":"USD",
       "total_price":15
       }
   ]

   That did it. Right under my nose. Thank you Josiah, for the quick reply!
