REST API & Integrations
Build anything on top of your inventory data.
A fully versioned REST API with HMAC-signed API keys, per-minute and per-day rate limits, and real-time webhook events. Integrate Safer Inventory with your ERP, 3PL, custom tooling, or any HTTP endpoint.
Key benefits
Everything you need, nothing you don't.
Versioned REST API
All endpoints are versioned under /v1/. The API is stable, well-documented, and follows RESTful conventions. Breaking changes will never happen silently.
HMAC-signed API keys
Each API key is HMAC-signed. Every request is verified server-side before execution. Keys can be rotated, scoped, and revoked at any time from the dashboard.
Per-minute and per-day rate limits
Rate limits are set per API key — per-minute bursts for real-time operations and per-day caps for bulk operations. Limits are visible in the dashboard and response headers.
Webhook events
Subscribe to stock level changes, order events, purchase order receipts, and transfer updates. Webhooks deliver signed JSON payloads to any HTTPS endpoint in real time.
Top-up credits for API usage
API calls beyond your plan's included allowance are charged via pre-purchased top-up credit packs. Pay for what you use; no overages, no automatic billing surprises.
Role-based key management
Create separate API keys for different integrations or environments. Each key is labelled, audited, and can be revoked without affecting other integrations.
How it works
Up and running in minutes.
Generate an API key
Go to Settings → API Keys and generate a key. Copy it once — it is not shown again.
Authenticate requests
Include the API key in the Authorization header as a Bearer token. All requests are verified via HMAC signature.
Call any endpoint
Products, variants, inventory levels, purchase orders, sales orders, transfers — all are available via REST.
Subscribe to webhooks
Register a webhook URL in Settings → Webhooks. Choose which event types to receive. Payloads are HMAC-signed for verification.
