CEX Stock Checker!

The code for a site to query the CEX API to find stock of a specified product within the CEX infrastructure across the UK.

At the time of writing this, it is hosted on kdjames.co.uk.

Using

1. Find the product you want to find through CEX, for example

   https://uk.webuy.com/product-detail/?id=sdv2gare002&categoryName=dvd-kids&superCatName=film-tv&title=garfield-the-movie-%28u%29-2004&referredFrom=search&queryID=336712abc832536d5f44a803165f0737&position=1
   

2. Paste this URL into the site to and submit

3. Get a UK map output of all the CEX stores that have stock of this item!

Demo

Limitations

• Currently the CEX API has blocked my home IP (ha) so it could happen to where I'm hosting the site.
• CEX API returns a number of '4+' if the store has 5 or more of those items. There isn't a way for us to get further confirmation of more stock than 5.
