Option to call stock levels from external source/API

[MattAUSA]

Just want to say, love AbanteCart. Only installed it a week ago and im blown away by it.

On to the suggestion. My suppliers site has the ability to pull stock levels from its own API. For example, if i were to call "hxxp://www.supplier.example/store_api.asp?productid=3453&option=1" it would give me the stock levels of that particular product as a simple integer.

It would be great if I could use this to monitor my stock level rather than having to manually change it, or use a csv.

It would make Abante 100% perfect (for me at least!)

Check storefront API: http://www.abantecart.com/document_wiki/index.php/Storefront_API_for_mobile_and_remote_access
You can use it to get stock

Also there is an admin API, but, currently, it does not support products. It can easily be updated to support stock.

Forgot to mention.

If you like AbanteCart, help our project and spread a good word on review and other sites.

Thanks

Thanks for answering my question.

I think there is some confusion about what inwas trying to do.

Currently stock is mantained by abante itself. What I was hoping to do is call the stock level for products from an external source.

Is this possible?

I think this is exactly what I suggested.

You can use API or you can use Import to update the stock level
