Stock API

General information

The Stanley/Stella Stock Overview web service is a feature that allows you to retrieve the latest stock information about our products.

This web service can be used to:

  • Retrieve the complete stock overview, of all available SKU's

  • Retrieve the stock position of 1 particular SKU

We also provide the next replenishment date for each requested SKU, if any replenishment is foreseen.


Important !

You may use this service in 2 different ways:

- Either you check the real-time stock of only the SKU's selected in the basket of your customer, at the moment your customer confirms his order

- Or you retrieve the stock of all SKU's at once every 2 hours maximum.

If you choose this last option, please don't retrieve the stock of all SKU's more frequently than every 2 hours.

We monitor the usage of this web service. If we see a wrong use of the service, we will remove your access.

Important note:

This web service is secured using a Digest Access Authentication and the algorithm to use is MD5-sess (needed if you use postman)



Parameters

You can pass an optional parameter to the URL to request the stock position of 1 specific SKU.

The parameter is: ?$filter=SKU eq {Stanley/Stella SKU}

Important note:

As you can see, the parameter contains white spaces. If you test this URL in your browser, your browser will automatically replace the white spaces with %20.

If you use this URL programmatically, be sure to first encode the URL before submitting the query. For example, in PHP you can use the function url_encode() to encode these white spaces.

Example:

v3

https://webservices.stanleystella.com/OData/StockOverview?$filter=SKU%20eq%20%27STAU760C002OS%27

v4

https://webservices.stanleystella.com/ODatav4/StockOverview?$filter=SKU%20eq%20%27STAU760C002OS%27


You can also retrieve only the currently available stock, without the forecasted stock in the future. 

The parameter is: ?$filter=Is_Inventory%20eq%20true
