    You mean you'd want to access another persons database of inventory? Not sure if that's possible/ethical.
    Your request is kind of vague, could you explain a little better?

    Define a re-order level for each item so whenever you need the list of items that are going out of stock, you can call a function to get the list of items that are (current qty < re-order Qty).

    I don’t want to access another persons database
    I just want to see if they are out of stock of an item and i want to check my list against threes
    Basically i will be selling there products but they cannot or will not bother with giving me inventory lists and it will be to time consuming to do it manually
    so i want to check if any item went out of stock or is N/A on there site every night
    is there any such system out there or do i got build it myself

    If you know the exact page(s) with your item list that shows the current quantity it could done using php. If the pages are dynamic (for example: sorted list), then it would be a difficult but possible job.
    Can you list down the page(s) so I can give you some more ideas?
