Get stock level via API

[Mwingi]

Hi, 

we run several grocery shops in rural Africa. The young ladies who are running our shops are supposed to count every day a certain number of products, so that any variations can be identified immediately.  

We developed an App, where they are asked to enter the counted stock level of a specific product. Our App is then storing the answers together with the time stamp. Then our office is checking the data with the Loyverse history. But this manual process is quite time consuming. 

We would like to immediately check via API whether the number she entered matches with Loyverse. To do so, we would need a command such as 

"Get the current stock level from shop Oloika for sugar".  

Any idea whether this would be possible or how this could be programmed? 

Best regards,

Manuela

Hi @Mwingi, we've got the Inventory endpoint to that.

Dear Edward, thanks a lot !!  Can you help me how I can find the Variant_ID and the Store_ID ? I assume it is not the SKU and not the store name?

Hi @Mwingi, you make make an api call to get the list of items - https://developer.loyverse.com/docs/#tag/Items/paths/~1items/get
Once you have done this, you can make another call to get the store names and associated store id - https://developer.loyverse.com/docs/#tag/Stores/paths/~1stores/get

From this you can identify the IDs of stores and items.

Thank you so much !! I

I hope we will manage now.
