Verified Local Inventory API
Verified stock data for the real world around every buyer.
SnapAct turns shelf photos, partner catalog updates, and local fulfillment signals into trusted inventory intelligence for Nigerian commerce teams, FMCG brands, distributors, POS systems, and platform partners.
Why it matters
Meta knows the business. Google knows the place. SnapAct can know the shelf.
The valuable gap is not another store directory. It is knowing what is actually available, where it is, how fresh the proof is, and whether a buyer can act on it now.
For brands
Track stock coverage, low-stock pressure, price changes, and city/category gaps across verified local shops.
For platforms
Search verified local stock near a buyer and route them to a real SnapAct partner item or store profile.
For distributors
Use freshness and out-of-stock alerts to decide where replenishment should happen before demand is missed.

Scale metrics
The numbers a brand or platform can evaluate.
SnapAct tracks operational signals that matter before a major commerce partner trusts local stock data.
Partners verify inventory by uploading a fresh shelf or stock photo tied to an item and quantity.
Nearby inventory responses only surface recently verified stock, so stale catalog rows do not become a promise.
Connect API keys are created in the partner dashboard, shown once, scoped, revocable, and never meant for browsers.
