Needless complexity pisses me off royally

I’ve been working earnestly on the t-shirt site since this morning.  In the time I’ve spent, I could’ve written a blog engine or finished off some other sites but I’ve met a problem.  The printfection API is shit.  It can theoretically do a lot, but so far I’ve followed their instructions to the letter and got nothing better than “This API request is invalid” when I copy and paste code from their OWN FUCKING SITE.  This annoys me greatly.  Why the fuck is it so complex when it could be simple?  I mean, I don’t write APIs like this…

They have a support forum, but I can’t just post there, oh no, to avoid spam I have to request an account (ignoring that a spammer could just request an account, and that they could use a captcha instead.  So their forum is full of people asking for help with no one bothering to sign up to answer them ‘cause it’s such a long and drawn out process.

Bleh.
