[UPDATE] You no longer need your own PSA account or API key—whuppit does this automatically on its own. Read here for more information.
You can now connect your PSA account to enable whuppit to automatically import images of your PSA graded cards.

When you have a PSA account, PSA let's you generate a unique API token for free. You can add that token to your whuppit account in your account settings page. When whuppit sees you have connected your PSA account using your unique token, it will automatically start to import images of PSA graded cards whenever they appear in your custom reports, submissions pages or search results.
You can see this functionality in action in this recent video.
How to connect your PSA account
You can grab your free API token from PSA. Once logged into your account, you can hit the "Generate Token" button which will provide you with a unique token.

You can copy that token, and then paste it into the PSA API box in your account settings, and then hit the "Update" button.

Auto-importing Images
With the token added to whuppit, you don't need to do anything more. Whenever a card with a PSA certificate shows up in search results, custom reports or on a submissions page, whuppit will reach out to PSA and grab the front and back images for as many cards as it can.
PSA limits this to 100 cards per day.
That means if you currently have more than 100 cards, it may take some time for whuppit to get all the images. When whuppit grabs the images, it saves them permanently so that it will never have to retrieve the same images twice.
I'm hoping to be able to avoid the 100 card per day limit in the future, so hopefully this will be a temporary thing.
Common questions
Will whuppit keep fetching the same images over and over, using up the 100 card daily limit?
Nope. When whuppit gets the images, it saves them permanently so that they are in whuppit forever, without ever having to grab them again from PSA.
Does whuppit fetch card images behind the scenes?
At the moment, whuppit fetches images on-demand. That means that if a PSA graded card shows up in your search results, custom reports or if you're viewing a submission in whuppit, it will start retrieving images of any cards that don't already have images stored in whuppit.
Why aren't my images showing up?
There are three reasons why you may be looking at a graded card in your inventory and not seeing any images.
  1. whuppit has already fetched images for 100 cards that day. While I hope to work around this in the future, the solution for this is at least fairly simple: just come back in a day and whuppit should be able to start fetching images for more cards.
  2. PSA doesn't have the images themselves. While not super common, I have definitely seen cards (often lower-grades) that have no images available at PSA. In those cases, since there are no images to fetch, nothing is displayed.
  3. whuppit doesn't know for sure that your cards are graded with PSA. For whuppit to fetch a card's images, that card must have a cert number, and either have "PSA" as the grading company, or be attached to an submission in whuppit that has "PSA" as the grading company.
I'm really excited about this addition! Not only does it make viewing your inventory in whuppit much more fun, but it also unlocks some pretty cool functionality that will be coming soon!
