I'm trying to update a stock level and status via a seperate API, and will code that when I get this working, however, I'm struggling to even set the Stock status and count to update based on information I've found on the net.

I need to run this before the product loads, as the product will most likely update and I need the screen to show the correct information. I want to use a product object as I might actually do some update on custom fields too, but for now, I'm starting simple, so any advice would be good.

UPDATE:

So I've gone done the module route, and it doesn't look like my module is firing, here is the files in the module. What kind of debugging can I use? or can anyone see anything obvious:

/app/code/Olisco/Tpcconnector/etc/di.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">
 <type name="MagentoCatalogHelperProduct">
 <plugin name="calltpc" type="OliscoTpcconnectorPluginApiCall" sortOrder="1" disabled="false"/>
 </type>
</config>

/app/code/Olisco/Tpcconnector/Plugin/ApiCall.php

<?php
namespace OliscoTpcconnectorPlugin;

class ApiCall 


 public function beforeinitProduct(MagentoCatalogHelperProduct $subject, $result)
 

 error_log("TEST");
 var_dump("TEST");
 echo "#########";
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://dealer.theperformance.co/"); 
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); 
 $output = curl_exec($ch); 
 curl_close($ch); 

 return $result;
 

If you are modifying the data, then you should use plugins and not the observers.

You can try creating the after plugin for the method initProduct of class MagentoCatalogHelperProduct
