Stop waiting for the monthly BLS report to tell you what things cost

Explore the data, check your favorite categories, and track inflation in real time: https://t.co/a691uiSwus

The government updates inflation data once a month

It’s delayed and opaque. So we built our own

Meet the Zinc Consumer Price Tracker. Real-time inflation tracking across 2,790 everyday products and 229 categories. Updated daily. 🧵

We built this using the exact same Zinc API our customers use for programmatic commerce

If you are building dynamic pricing models, financial research tools, or shopping agents, you need real-time data. We have it.

Launch Week Day 4: Tracking

Tracking is live across all Zinc retailers. When your order ships, we extract the tracking number and carrier automatically.

This is harder than it sounds. Retailers don't hand you tracking numbers in an API. They send an email with a "Track Package" button. Sometimes the tracking number is in the email. Sometimes it's behind the link. Sometimes the link requires you to be logged in.

So we built a system that handles all of it. Parse the email. Follow the link. You name it.

Customers care deeply about the status of their shipment and now you have it in hand.

Launch Week Day 3: Webhooks

A lot happens after you submit an order. The retailer confirms. They pick and pack. They create a shipping label. The carrier picks it up.

Your customers want to know what's going on. Without webhooks, you're polling the API over and over, waiting for something to change.

Now we just tell you the moment something changes. Order placed. Order failed. Tracking received.

One endpoint for every event, for every order

Launch Week Day 2: Test Mode

Now you can test the Zinc API before actually buying products online!

Test mode isn't optional when real dollars are involved. You're going to want to test and integrate your app before committing live purchases.

Zinc Test Mode provides an isolated sandbox environment with test API keys and fake products that break in predictable ways so you can validate your error handling.

To access it, all it takes is toggling Test Mode switch in the dashboard and you're on your way!

Build your whole integration without placing a real order.
