Inventory API migration guide

A new version V3 of the Inventory API is released, replacing the previous versions. Previous versions are now deprecated but will remain available until 31 May, 2023.

This document highlights the differences between the previous versions and V3 and supports the migration to V3.

Overview of changes

Compared to older Inventory API versions, V3 provides a simpler and more secure way to read and write inventory data.

However, how inventories work remains the same. For example, the flow from STORE to SOLD is the same as in older versions.

Rate limit

By default, V3 allows 4 requests per second.

The rate limit is not a hard limit. V3 monitors and measures the average rate in a short time period continuously. Then it determines if requests will be blocked.

Changes to request paths

/V3 is added as top level prefix to the request paths.
organizations/{organizationUuid} is removed from the request paths. Instead, the organization is identified from the authentication data.

Changes in fetching inventory data

The /stock endpoint is used to fetch data about inventory level, such as balances and low stock level settings.
The /inventories endpoint is used to fetch data about available inventories.
The /products endpoint is used to fetch data about tracked products.

Introduction of pagination

All endpoints that return lists can be paginated.

To paginate, include the Link header from the current response in the request for next responses until the Link header is no longer present in the response.

See Pagination.

Changes in modifying inventory data

The /movements endpoint is used to make changes on inventory balances.
The /products endpoint is used to enable and disable tracking products.
The /custom-low-stock endpoint is used to update custom low stock settings.
