Keep stock levels synchronized with your warehouse system:

import requests

def sync_inventory(products_to_update):
    """
    Sync inventory from warehouse system to TribeMade
    
    products_to_update: [{"id": "product_id", "stock": 50}, ...]
    """
    url_base = "https://api.tribemade.in/api/products"
    headers = {
        "X-API-Key": "tb-a1b2-c3d-e4f5",
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    }
    
    for product in products_to_update:
        url = f"{url_base}/{product['id']}/edit"
        data = {"stock": product['stock']}
        
        try:
            response = requests.put(url, headers=headers, json=data)
            if response.status_code == 200:
                print(f"✓ Updated {product['id']}: stock = {product['stock']}")
            else:
                print(f"✗ Failed {product['id']}: {response.json()['error']}")
        except Exception as e:
            print(f"✗ Error {product['id']}: {str(e)}")

# Example usage
products_to_update = [
    {"id": "660e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440123", "stock": 45},

sync_inventory(products_to_update)

Flash Sale

Run a flash sale by updating prices:

import requests
import time

def start_flash_sale(product_ids, discount_percent):
    """
    Apply discount to multiple products for a flash sale
    """
    url_base = "https://api.tribemade.in/api/products"
    headers = {
        "X-API-Key": "tb-a1b2-c3d-e4f5",
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    }
    
    for product_id in product_ids:
        url = f"{url_base}/{product_id}/edit"
        
        # First, get current price (assume you have it stored)
        # For demo, we'll use a fixed price
        original_price = 1000
        sale_price = original_price * (1 - discount_percent / 100)
        
        data = {
            "current_price": sale_price,
            "is_sale": True,
            "internal_note": f"Flash sale: {discount_percent}% off until end of day"
        }
        
        response = requests.put(url, headers=headers, json=data)
        print(f"Applied {discount_percent}% discount to {product_id}")
        
        # Respect rate limits
        time.sleep(3)  # ~20 requests per minute

# Start 30% off flash sale
product_ids = ["660e8400-...", "770e8400-...", "880e8400-..."]
start_flash_sale(product_ids, discount_percent=30)

Bulk Status Update

Activate or deactivate multiple products:

import requests
import time

def bulk_update_status(product_ids, is_active):
    """
    Activate or deactivate multiple products
    """
    url_base = "https://api.tribemade.in/api/products"
    headers = {
        "X-API-Key": "tb-a1b2-c3d-e4f5",
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    }
    
    status_text = "activated" if is_active else "deactivated"
    
    for product_id in product_ids:
        url = f"{url_base}/{product_id}/edit"
        data = {"is_active": is_active}
        
        try:
            response = requests.put(url, headers=headers, json=data)
            if response.status_code == 200:
                print(f"✓ Product {product_id} {status_text}")
            else:
                print(f"✗ Failed to update {product_id}")
        except Exception as e:
            print(f"✗ Error: {str(e)}")
        
        time.sleep(3)

# Deactivate out-of-season products
winter_products = ["660e8400-...", "770e8400-..."]
bulk_update_status(winter_products, is_active=False)

Best Practices

Update only what changed

Only include fields that need to be updated. Don’t send the entire product object:✅ Good:

{
  "stock": 200,
  "current_price": 799
}

❌ Bad:

{
  "name": "Same Name",
  "price": 1299,
  "description": "Same description...",
  "stock": 200,
  "current_price": 799,
  // ... all other unchanged fields
}

Sync inventory regularly

Set up automated inventory sync to keep stock levels accurate:

Run sync every 15-30 minutes for high-traffic stores
Use webhooks to get notified of orders and update stock accordingly
Log sync operations for debugging

Schedule price updates

For sales and promotions:

Update prices at specific times (e.g., midnight for daily deals)
Store original prices before sales to restore later
Use internal_note to track sale end dates

Batch updates efficiently

For bulk updates:

Process in batches of 15-18 products per minute
Add 3-4 second delays between requests
Implement retry logic for failed updates
Log all operations for tracking

Use is_active for temporary removal

Instead of deleting products, use is_active: false to temporarily hide them:

Preserves product data and history
Can be reactivated anytime
Maintains order references
Useful for seasonal products
