| Hey all, I just received API access after upgrading to a seller. Is there a way
I can view inventories of individual stores outside of my own? I would like to
aggregate market price estimates from other individual stores for analytical
purposes. (Such as, checking the listing price of an item for store 'XYZ'.

No, you can't.
You can grab price guide data but are limited to 5000 calls per day

Interesting? ... seems like it should be possible, Is this not what R*brickable
"Buy Parts-Multi-Buy" feature does?
Not intended as a promotion of another site, just mentioning as they do appear,
if i understand correctly, to do what OP is asking

| Excuse me, as I used GPT to generate the following to better explain what I'm
looking for:
Hi there, I hope this message finds you well. I recently upgraded to a seller
account and have been granted API access. I have a specific requirement that
I'm hoping you could help me with.
For a business venture I'm initiating, I must gather market price estimates
from various individual stores on BrickLink. Specifically, I am interested in
analyzing the listing prices of items from stores such as 'XYZ' (for
example) to aggregate data for analytical purposes. The aim is to reverse-engineer
the process of Lego set building by starting with the available parts from a
single supplier to optimize the sets I plan to build. This approach not only
streamlines the building process but is also anticipated to significantly expedite
business operations by minimizing the need to source from multiple suppliers.
Given the nature of my business, treating each Lego piece of identical color
and dimensions as perfect substitutes is essential. Therefore, having access
to detailed inventory data from individual sellers would greatly enhance my ability
to make informed decisions and optimize the sets based on available parts.
Could you please advise if there's a way to access inventories of individual
stores through the API for the purposes mentioned above? If there are specific
endpoints or permissions required, I would appreciate detailed guidance on how
to proceed. My goal is to conduct this analysis with the utmost respect for privacy
and in compliance with BrickLink's policies.

Because, if name checks out, he wants to know in advance where he'll get
the best price for 98138 or such mosaic small parts.
Then he'll discover Availability, Quantity, Shipping, Minimum Buy, Taxes,
fees and PayPal conversion cost will be a far more important factor than the
parts

So your saying he has a proclivity to being logorrheic in his loquacity of explaining
his thoughts and should therefore be more elucidatious?

GPT has entered the chat:
Is it conceivable, perchance, to hypothesize that his quintessential essence,
being intrinsically imbued with a predilection of a markedly pronounced magnitude
towards an inextinguishable fervor for indulging in an extraordinarily protracted
and incessantly verbose manner of discourse, which, in its execution, precipitates
a veritable torrent of superfluous lexicon aimed at the exposition of his contemplative
ratiocinations, thereby engendering a necessitous imperative for the institution
of a vastly more complex and multifaceted schema of explication, meticulously
engineered to facilitate an augmentation in the perspicacious assimilation and
interpretive lucidity of the communicated ideations, thereby aspiring to transcend
the conventional paradigms of communicative efficacy and penetrate the nebulous
realms of uncharted erudition?

I'm saying be succinct without being verbose and eschew obfuscation.
