Oz Stock - Check Officeworks Product Stock Levels Directly On OzBargain! (Chrome & Firefox Extension)

After previously building and using my own stock checker tool and then using https://ow.c0r3.xyz/ (not sure who made this, was it @Clear?), I wanted an easier way to check Officeworks stock directly from OzBargain.

So after a couple of hours of tinkering and over a day waiting for Google to review the extension, here is Oz Stock - an extension to check Officeworks product stock levels directly on OzBargain!

I've done my best to make it look as if it was part of OzBargain. On any deal page that links to an Officeworks product, a Check Stock button appears below the Go to Deal button. Clicking that will load a tooltip showing the store list and their corresponding stock levels, with data fetched from https://ow.c0r3.xyz/. You can also filter by state. Have a look at the screenshot for an example.

Let me know what you think, I hope you find it useful!

  • noice..

    i also did this - never went to check out though, but worked and showing in cart for local pick up
    might be worth a try for some, if not showing stock close to you

  • Corona crazyness

  • Will there be an extension for Mozilla Firefox?

      Wasn't planned, but if there's demand I can look into it.

      • I demand! ;)

        Happy to help with testing etc. as well.

        • I had to change the code structure slightly so the same code would work for both Chrome and Firefox but I'm happy to say the Firefox Extension is awaiting review! Will let you know when it's available.

          It's been approved, get it for Firefox here!

          • @vu: Awesome, thanks!

  • Awesome!!!!

  • How do you know the quantity of the products?

    • https://ow.c0r3.xyz/ gets the data from reverse engineering Officeworks' API that powers their check stock function on their site. You can read some discussions about it here and here.

  • Can you please put TAS in the dropdown? We get left out enough as it is.

    • I don't think the OP wrote the part that selects the state, so they can't change it.

      Sorry! I used the dropdown from https://ow.c0r3.xyz/ and didn't realise it's missing TAS.

      I've just pushed an update (1.0.2) to include TAS. It should be updated after you restart Chrome.

      • Legend…thanks for that!

    I didn't make the OW stock checking site. plague69 had a similar one for Bunnings but it seems they've tried to prevent that now.

    There's similar for Target as well with someone often sharing stock levels in deals, but he's greedy af and won't share the secret. Their API is somewhat locked down too.

    • Thanks for that, I wonder who made it then. Grateful it's available though as I wouldn't have made this if it wasn't.

      For the amount of deals we get from Officeworks I guess we're pretty lucky they haven't restricted their API.

  • Hi all, given that https://ow.c0r3.xyz has stopped working for a while now I've set up a new stock checker tool at https://nrby.in.

    The extension now sources the data from Nrby. The next time the extension updates you might see a popup asking you to accept permissions for the new website.

    Please note if you use this on Firefox the update is not yet live and is still in the queue.

    Feel free to also use the website directly for stock checks.
