I've added an inventory tracking tool to the web-portal that can be used
when you run BLS Manager or InSpaceSync locally or hosted. It tracks items added
or removed manually or from orders. The data can be exported to Excel including
lot data, segmented by day, week, month, quarter, or year. This will help you
track growth and rediscover what you uploaded 5 weeks ago.

BLS Manager can be downloaded from: https://inspacesoftware.com/blsmanager and
is free to use with InSpaceSync in ReadOnly mode. FullSync is a paid service.

Hey all, I just received API access after upgrading to a seller. Is there a way
I can view inventories of individual stores outside of my own? I would like to
aggregate market price estimates from other individual stores for analytical
purposes. (Such as, checking the listing price of an item for store 'XYZ'.

No, you can't.

You can grab price guide data but are limited to 5000 calls per day

Hello BrickLink Community,

I'm in the early stages of developing an analytics app specifically for BrickLink
store owners and am seeking your valuable feedback. The goal of this app is to
provide insightful analytics that can help store owners make informed decisions,
optimize their inventory, and enhance their store's performance.

Here's what I envision the app will offer:

- Detailed sales analytics
- Inventory management insights
- Trend analysis to predict future demand

I would love to hear from you about:

1. What are the biggest challenges you face in managing your BrickLink store?
2. Are there specific analytics or data points you wish you had easy access to?
3. Have you used any analytics tools before, and if so, what did you like
or dislike about them?
4. What features would make an analytics app truly valuable for you?

Your experiences, challenges, and insights are incredibly important to me. They
will guide the development of this app to ensure it meets your needs and addresses
the real pain points of managing a BrickLink store.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts and feedback. I'm
here to listen and incorporate your ideas into making something that genuinely
benefits the BrickLink community.

Looking forward to your responses!

Love it, great idea, and more tools and choices are good.

Thanks for checking.
Did you create it with the API? When I create e.g. 4445, color blue, with the
API, and then retrieve the inventory, the description is empty.

Tried both with the API, and it works for me but that doesn't mean much.

Thanks and sorry, should have been more specific. This only happens with empty
descriptions, which used to be returned empty and now the field is not returned
at all whereas other empty fields are.

Sven

confirmed, I see that too, remarks is returned even when empty, description field
isn't.

It has to do with https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1452018 and the changes
they made for it.

Hi,
my store broke because some inventories do not return the "description"
field anymore.
E.g. if you check:
https://api.bricklink.com/api/store/v1/inventories/392742845
The description field is missing. This seems to happen for new inventories I
create, the old ones are fine and return description.
Any help would be appreciated

Thanks,
Sven
