This guide explains how to request access to ADC, how ADC data becomes available in Skulytics, and how to check ADC access status.
Overview
ADC integration provides distributor-specific inventory data through existing Skulytics API endpoints.
This integration is mainly focused on:
For general product information, such as product name, brand, category, and product attributes, use the existing List Products endpoint.
Request Access
Before ADC data can be used through Skulytics API endpoints, the client or sub-client must first request access to ADC.
Use the Request Access Endpoint to request ADC access.
Individual Retailers
Individual retailers can request ADC access using their existing API key.
After the request is submitted and Skulytics confirms that the client has access, ADC data may still not be available immediately.
Platforms
Platforms managing multiple clients must create a separate API token for each client through the sub-client setup page.
After the client token has been created, each client must request ADC access using the Request Access Endpoint.
Each sub-client must request access separately using that sub-client’s API token.
After Access Is Requested
After a client or sub-client successfully requests access to ADC, and Skulytics confirms that the client has access, ADC data may still not be available immediately.
This is because Skulytics must wait for ADC to send the client’s data to Skulytics first.
There is currently no estimated time for when ADC data will become available after access is requested.
Use the ADC Status Endpoint to check the current ADC access and data availability status.
Use the ADC Status Endpoint to determine whether ADC data is already available for the client or sub-client.
GET ADC Status
This endpoint returns one of the following statuses:
- Approved : The dealer has been authorized and ADC data is already available to be consumed through Skulytics.
- Pending : The dealer has been authorized, but Skulytics is still waiting for ADC to send the dealer’s data.
- Rejected : The dealer entered an incorrect member ID or member passcode.
Skulytics also provides a webhook event for ADC status changes:
adc_status_updated
This webhook can be enabled from the Customer Portal.
Use this webhook if you want to be notified automatically when the ADC status changes, instead of repeatedly checking the ADC Status Endpoint.
Data Refresh Frequency
ADC data is refreshed approximately once every hour after the data becomes available in Skulytics.
This means ADC-provided inventory quantity and inventory pricing may not reflect changes in real time.
After ADC sends updated data to Skulytics, the latest available data will be exposed through existing Skulytics API endpoints after the next scheduled refresh.
Important Notes
- ADC data is accessed through existing Skulytics API endpoints.
- A separate API surface is not required for ADC data.
- ADC data is only available after ADC sends the data to Skulytics.
- ADC data availability does not currently have an estimated time.
- Use the ADC Status Endpoint to check ADC availability. The ADC Status Endpoint may return Approved, Pending, or Rejected.
- Use the adc_status_updated webhook to receive ADC status updates.
- ADC data is refreshed approximately once every hour after it becomes available.
- For general product information, use the List Products endpoint.
