Forecast Studio now has an API — everything the app does, now programmable

Starting today, the Pro and Enterprise plans include access to the Forecast Studio API: everything you do in the app — inject data, configure variables, train models, read forecasts and metrics — can now also be done programmatically, from your own systems.

Everything the UI does, now callable

The web app and the API expose the same platform. Through the API, your systems can:

  • Send data automatically — sales history and exogenous variables straight from your ERP, database or e-commerce, without manual uploads.
  • Manage variables — create them, segment by time, link events and relate variables to each other: the same toolset you use in the app.
  • Train and retrain models on the schedule you decide, so forecasts never go stale.
  • Read forecasts and accuracy metrics and take them wherever decisions happen: purchasing, finance, S&OP, BI dashboards. (If you are still defining which metrics to track, start with our guide to forecast accuracy metrics.)

If you can do it in the interface, you can do it through the API. The web app is now one client of the platform — your scripts and systems are another.

A pattern you already know

The most integrable business software has worked this way for years:

  • SAP Business One’s Service Layer exposes the ERP’s business objects — orders, items, invoices — through an API, so partners and integrators automate B1 without touching its client. Forecast Studio already consumes Service Layer to ingest your sales data; now it speaks the same language on the output side too.
  • Stripe made payments an API-first product: its dashboard is just one client of the same API, and that is exactly why it plugs into anything.
  • Shopify’s Admin API lets an entire store be operated by code — apps, syncs and automations the UI alone could never cover.

The lesson those products taught the industry: the UI is for people; the API is for systems. A forecast someone has to export by hand arrives late and gets re-keyed; a forecast your ERP pulls automatically arrives on time, intact, every time.

What it changes in practice

  • End-to-end automation. A nightly job pushes yesterday’s sales, retrains the model and writes the fresh forecast back into your ERP or purchasing system. No CSVs, no copy-paste.
  • Forecasts inside your own tools. Your BI dashboard or internal apps read forecasts and metrics directly, always current.
  • A closed loop with your ERP. Ingest from SAP via Service Layer, forecast in Forecast Studio, return the result to your ERP for purchasing and MRP.

The product is still the same: an accurate forecast you can plan on. The API makes sure that accuracy reaches every system that depends on it — automatically, without a human in the middle of the pipeline.

Availability

The API is included in the Pro plan (20 USD/month) and the Enterprise plan — see plans and pricing. Free users keep the full web app on the public tenant.
