Create a BrickLink Wanted List XML

Copy and paste the following template into a text editor (TextEdit for Mac users, Notepad for
Windows users). We will replace ???? with actual values shortly.
<INVENTORY>
<ITEM>
<ITEMID>????</ITEMID>
<ITEMTYPE>????</ITEMTYPE>
<COLOR>????</COLOR>
<MINQTY>????</MINQTY>
<CONDITION>????</CONDITION>
<NOTIFY>????</NOTIFY>
</ITEM>
</INVENTORY>
The template above is the absolute minimal required to successfully add Wanted Items into
your BrickLink account. Each item you want to add into your Wanted List is represented by
the text between <ITEM> and </ITEM>.
For this demo, we will create a Wanted List with two (2) items.

The first item is a Blue Brick, Modified 1 x 1 with Stud on 1 Side: http://www.bricklink.com/
catalogItem.asp?P=87087&ccName=4583862
If you click on the link above, you will notice the following message:
4583862 is the part and color combination code for this part in Bluecolor
The reason we got this message, is because we searched for 4583862.
4583862 is the number LEGO used to represent the same part in Blue color. You will notice
this in the back of LEGOs instruction booklets.
BrickLink uses a different part number in its catalog: 87087. You may have noticed this
number on the actual part itself.
For BrickLinks Wanted List feature, you will need to enter 87087.

Therefore, our XML will now look like the following:

<INVENTORY>
<ITEM>
<ITEMID>87087</ITEMID>
<ITEMTYPE>????</ITEMTYPE>
<COLOR>????</COLOR>
<MINQTY>????</MINQTY>
<CONDITION>????</CONDITION>
<NOTIFY>????</NOTIFY>
</ITEM>
</INVENTORY>
For ITEMTYPE, replace the question marks with P, without the quotes, which stands for
Parts. Next, find the color by looking up this page: http://www.bricklink.com/
catalogColors.asp
For Blue color, the value to enter is 7.

This is how our XML looks like after adding the item type and color code:
<INVENTORY>
<ITEM>
<ITEMID>87087</ITEMID>
<ITEMTYPE>P</ITEMTYPE>
<COLOR>7</COLOR>
<MINQTY>????</MINQTY>
<CONDITION>????</CONDITION>
<NOTIFY>????</NOTIFY>
</ITEM>
</INVENTORY>
MinQty is the number of pieces you want. This is an optional value, but it is useful to filter out
stores that doesnt have the minimum number of pieces you require. Lets set this to 1.
Condition is used to specify if you want New or Used. Enter N or U respectively.
Finally, you may want to set Notify to N (or Y), to decide if you want to be sent an email when
a particular BrickLink store adds that part into their store.

Our XML now looks like this:

<INVENTORY>
<ITEM>
<ITEMID>87087</ITEMID>
<ITEMTYPE>P</ITEMTYPE>
<COLOR>7</COLOR>
<MINQTY>1</MINQTY>
<CONDITION>N</CONDITION>
<NOTIFY>N</NOTIFY>
</ITEM>
</INVENTORY>
I will add one more item to the list, a Red, Plate 2 x 4. BrickLink part number is 3020. Color
code is 5 for Red. MinQty set to 2, Condition set to Used and Notify set to Yes.
