Description

Stock tickers can already be used as peripherals because they are considered an inventory, but they cannot send requests to their network. It would be really cool to be able to call a function like ticker:requestItems({{item="dirt",count=64}}, "address") (the API should probably be refined but that's another topic)

This would really change the way things like stores could be done, with one central panel for purchases, stock tracking, printing receipts, designing shop interfaces and that's just the start.

This indeed would be a great feature! I think having some kind of block that has access to the network in general would be good (e.g. have a peripheral block that can be linked to a network and it can see and send events within said network).
