Inventory Manager API · stocktakes
Every stocktake the organization has started
GET /stocktakes
Every stocktake the organization has started, newest first, each with how far it got (counted pairs, costed SKUs).
The organization's first completed one is its opening stocktake, where the general ledger begins; a organization with no completed opening stocktake has no general ledger yet, and no ledger app can be activated.
Access
Requires stock:read.
How scopes come from roles: Scopes and roles. Getting a token: Authentication and app tokens.
AI agent tool
Agents call this as inventory_list_stocktakes (Inventory: List stocktakes), in the stocktakes toolset. It only reads.
Connecting an agent: AI agents.

}The panel writes this call in other languages. It does not send it: Manifold's APIs do not take calls from a web
page on another site, so run the call from your own code or terminal. The whole API as OpenAPI: inventory-manager.openapi.json. Base URL https://inventory.getmanifold.io.
