Did you know we have an invoice data API which gives a data feed of all recent invoices and credit notes.
The API returns a JSON document, which can then be fed directly to your accounting software to automate inputting of ProVu invoices and credit notes.
This is just one of our many APIs that our resellers have access to – check out more information about the other ProVu APIs available for you to use.
The majority of SIP phones we supply are PoE, therefore many manufacturers have made the decision not to include a power supply as standard. Over the last few months we have seen an extraordinary demand for power supplies in response to the dramatic increase in remote working, power supplies can be a vital component in ensuring the best WFH set up.
We’ve recently extended our product information and ordering APIs to make it easier for our resellers to access information about UK power supplies for the phones we supply. This information is ready for you to use, making ordering even simpler.
For phones that don’t include a power supply as standard, we give you the part code of the required UK power supply in our product information API. You can then simply pass a setting with your API order request to auto include the associated UK PSU. You can request this either on a line-by-line basis or for the entire order.
The advantage of using our data is if the power supply changes or new phones are listed, the data will be maintained by us and therefore there will be no need to update your data or code – giving you one less thing to worry about!
Information on accessing this data and ordering power supplies can be found in our API documentation. This can be found on ProSys. If you do not have a ProSys account or have forgotten your password, please complete our ProSys registration form.
If you would like to discuss how we can help you simplify your CPE fulfilment and management process and find out more about our APIs, please contact us on 01484 840048.We have a number of APIs available for our resellers to utilise. These can help you to build your website and/or integrate with your CRM. Integrating your systems with ours can help to significantly simplify the process of getting important, up to date product information from us, as well as allowing your customers/staff to place their orders directly with us via your own online interface. Take a look at some of the benefits of using ProVu APIs.
Our APIs have been developed in-house and are constantly being updated and expanded to meet the requirements our resellers. The APIs are simple to use and can be integrated with almost all systems out there.
In this blog, we are going to look more closely at the following APIs: Product Information, Product Categories and Ordering as these tend to be the common starting points for integration.
Product Information API
There is a lot of information you can pull about the products we supply, this data can help in the building of your webstore.
| Part code | ProVu’s product name – this is a unique name given to each item, which is required to place orders. We can even store your own part code if you require or you can simply map these across. |
|---|---|
| Brand / Class | For example Snom and Yealink. |
| Product Name | A short concise product name. |
| Product Description | This is a longer product description, which you can use to quickly build your product information web pages. |
| Product Range | Some manufacturers have different ranges of products, where possible we store this information for you to use. For example, for Yealink we have T2, T4, T5 and CP. These can help to sub-categorise items within a brand/class on you website. |
| Retail Price | Recommended retail price, this is guidance as to what you may want to charge your customers. |
| Your Price | Your discounted trade price, this could be used with the retail price to calculate your sales out pricing to make sure you are making enough margin. |
| Available Stock | Real-time quantity of stock available. |
| Item Weight | Weight stored in kg can be used to help calculate shipping charges. |
| MPN | Manufacturer’s part number/SKU. |
| EAN | This field provides information about EAN/UPC/GTIN which is generally required for web stores using Google shops, shopify etc. You can differentiate between EAN and UPC number quite easily – if the number is 12 digits long it’s a UPC and if it’s 13 digits long it will be an EAN. |
We also have a developers guide of how use our product images and datasheets to display on your own site.
Product Categories API
We provide a number product categories for example IP Desk Phone and IP Conference Phones with a list of applicable items, this can be used as a quick way to build your product menus and navigation within your web store if you wish.
Ordering API
An order can be placed by simply passing a unique order reference, list of ordered items and required quantities to us.
There is a number of other things you can tell us about your order using our ordering API:
It doesn’t stop here, we have more APIs available for our resellers including Order details, Invoices, Device status and Device management API – Take a look to find out more.We quite often receive requests from resellers who want to use the product images of the kit we supply on their own website.
We host different sized images and product datasheets for lots of the products we sell, these are stored logically using our product part codes, this means they can be easily accessed and pulled for use on your website.
It’s pretty simple really!
We have produced a guide for programmers which will explain everything you need to know so you can start integrating images into your own website.

We try our best to store images for all of our products, but if there is anything that you come across that is missing and you would like to access, please let us know and we will do our best to add the images to our library.
