BrickSync between BO, BL, and SEOshop (or another webshop platform)

Dear BrickOwlers,

Does anyone know if this is possible?
Or is there someone who can create it?
I would pay for it.

Best regards,

I have never heard of SEOshop before. People have asked for Amazon or Ebay support, but it would involve a fairly large amount of work.

I'm also not really interested as these platforms demand huge commission fees from sellers (I think Amazon's fees are 15%?). BrickOwl's 2.5% is very appealing in comparison.

Dear Stragus,

Seoshop is a platform that demands no commision fees. You pay €25 each month. No matter how much you sell.

Thank you for your answer. But do you think it is possible?

Best regards,
Niels

I really don't have time for this personally.

Long ago, I started adding a communication protocol for BrickSync to chat with external software (especially my not-yet-public BrickManager). If that's completed, a separate piece of software could chat with BrickSync to support a third platform, but someone else would have to write that separate piece of software...

@stragus do you have an ecample hoe this API would work ?

Hi, what does "Brick Manager" do? Would be really nice with A tool to keep track of all Lego parts

Stragus

@pwpeter You mean that BrickSync protocol? Just binary messages over an opened socket (I don't do any of that XML/JSON stuff ).

@V3ktor That's the idea. It hasn't reached a point ready for public use though, and I'm mostly spending my free time elsewhere (also, I have way too many personal coding projects!).

@Stragus Can you give us a heads up when the BL API is functioning again. Bricksync is showing a message to not use blmaster due to the BL API outage issue; is there a place to receive a status update when this issue is fixed?

@johnsma2000 BL has now "fixed" their API bug, the same recurrent one where responses are truncated.

BrickSync only checks for a new broadcast message every 3 hours, but you can type "message update" to check right away. Or when the BL API is causing trouble, the "verify" command should tell you if it's working properly or not.
