question regarding boid and brickstore

Graham

does the boid for any given part, contain/map to all the details of a specific part? ... in as much as with any given boid, it will provide all data for the exact part i.e. size/weight/color/ in the same way that TLG's part number does?

Then how do you read/translate BSX into boid?
Then what is the issue to read/translate into BSX?

My lads coming over, and I want to see if he can help me build something to manipulate my inventory.

Is anyone willing to share how youv'e automated integration with BL - as I imagine that is the same thing as making a BS readable file from BO?

I read a while back that someone was working on a BO version of something like BS - but that seems to have evaporated.

Any help much appreciated, as I am still relying on BS to add inventory - using an old broken laptop!

Not evaporated, rather being developed for beta release after the new year:

The thread sort of disappeared at the begining of Nov is all… G

It seems that the only way to upload any items using the BOID is by using the API to add items. Based on the API documentation this does not seem to allow adding public and personal notes and as a result is rather limited.

I use BrickStore and if I were to develop something different then I would output the results as a BrickStore bsx file (you can open the files with a text editor to see what it looks like) and use that for uploading to Brick Owl.

If you need other fields added to the API, send me an email and I'll sort it out. I add bits to it based on user request.
