CodeVault Stock API

Collector-first product, stock and restock intelligence for approved tools that help genuine customers find stock fairly. This is not intended for scalping, checkout automation, bulk-buying or unfair resale behaviour.

01Collector alerts

Cleaner stock signals for tools that help genuine collectors react fairly.

02Signed webhooks

Collector-safe restock delivery without hammering product pages.

03Controlled access

Private, metered API access reviewed before any key is issued.

Step 1ApplyTell us what you are building and expected usage.
Step 2ReviewWe check fit, risk and commercial use manually.
Step 3Private keyApproved users receive endpoint instructions and limits.

Currently in private beta with a selected collector-focused stock monitoring integration. Up to five founding integrations will be considered for the first commercial programme. Time-limited validation may be free; ongoing public or monetised use is expected to move to approved commercial access from £29 per month.

Join the beta

Tell us who you are and how you would use official product data. Access is reviewed manually, with priority given to collector-friendly use cases.

This helps us decide suitable limits and whether time-limited validation or commercial access is more appropriate. An approximate figure is fine. You can update us if usage changes.

No automatic keys. We may decline, review, suspend or revoke access at any time. Application details are handled under our privacy policy.
