Trade guide
Flair stock feeds and integrations: CSV, XML, JSON and more
Short answer: Flair Trade publishes a live stock feed rebuilt from warehouse stock every 15 minutes. A public price-free CSV is open to anyone, and every approved trade account gets private feed links under My Account > Stock feed, with your own trade prices in CSV, XLSX, XML, JSON or TSV, so your website, marketplace tool or EPOS can read stock automatically.
Key facts
- Refresh: every 15 minutes from live stock.
- Public CSV (no prices): www.flairbeds.co.uk/feeds/flair/StockFeed.csv
- Private feeds: CSV, XLSX, XML, JSON and TSV with your own trade prices.
- Private links are tokenised; a leaked link can be reissued instantly.

Keep your links private
Private feed links contain a token unique to your account. Treat them like a password. If one is shared by mistake, issue a new link and the old one stops working.
