We're presently evaluating Lightspeed POS for possible integration with a planned, cloud-based application.
To do so, we'd need to be able to have Lightspeed send purchase sale information to our application as they occur.
Is this possible at all?
We're looking at the API docs, but find them lacking as they don't explain any of the functionality.
Thanks much.

To do a real-time push would need some kind of webhook, which Lightspeed does not have as far as I know. The way you can do is have your application pull information filtering on timestamp , so checking every X time a day or hourly or whatever. By filtering on timestamp you can pull information about purchase after a certain time so you get the last number of purchases.
