Product Search API (REST) - Description

Description

The Product Search API (REST) allows your users to search the element14 product catalog by keyword search, element14 part number, and manufacturer part number.

There are two levels of access for the API:

  • generic access: Accessible by including callInfo.apiKey in the call
  • contract pricing: Provides contract pricing data which is customer specific. In order to retrieve these prices you will need to contact your local sales representative to request a CustomerID and Secret Key and will need to provide details of your company, country and the username that you use to access our website.. The request requires sending the following paramters in the call which are based on our SOAP API:
    • callInfo.apiKey
    • userInfo.signature
    • userInfo.timestamp
    • userInfo.customerId

Calculating the Contract Pricing Signature

In order to request any special rates associated with your account, we need to associate an API request to a web user account.  To acheive this you will need to have registered on our websites and provide us with your Username.

Once we have your Username we can join the web account to the Product Search API so that any special rates can be retrieved. We will supply you with a Secret Key and Customer ID.

Please Note: The REST call is built over our SOAP API and the Contract Pricing request uses some legacy details when it comes to generating a signature - specifically, it needs to reference the equivelant SOAP Function that is being called by the REST API when generating a signature  The REST and SOAP equivalents are below.

REST Function equivalent SOAP Function (operation name)
term=any searchByKeyword
term=id searchByPremierFarnellPartNumber
term=manuPartNum searchByManufacturerPartNumber

In order to retrieve Contract Pricing, the Product Search API requires three additional parameters passing in the URL.; they are

  • userInfo.signature: This is generated by concatenating the Operation Name (see above table and also see SOAP WSDL) + timestamp  and then using the secret key generate a HMAC SHA1 hash using the resultant Base64 option (useful reference: http://hash.online-convert.com/sha1-generator ).  ***Please note: 1. The signature is operation specific and therefore needs to match the request "term" being made. 2. When a  Signature is created using the HMAC SHA1 process, it may contain special characters which will need to be URL encoded (useful site: http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/) 
  • userInfo.timestamp: Universal time, referred to as GMT and in the format of yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ss.zzz. e.g. 2009-02-0T15:45:40.254. This has a tolerance of + or – 10 minutes in relative to search service system clock
  • userInfo.customerId: This is a number generated by us and assigned to the customer, e.g. 999123

Response Groups

Response groups are a means to filter out certain elements of the payload based on the type of information/use case.  There are 4 types of response groups: small, medium, large, prices, inventory, and none:

Response Group Description
 small

 For example:

http://api.element14.com//catalog/products?term=any%3Afuse&storeInfo.id=uk.farnell.com&resultsSettings.offset=0&resultsSettings.numberOfResults=1&resultsSettings.refinements.filters=&resultsSettings.responseGroup=small&callInfo.omitXmlSchema=false&callInfo.callback=&callInfo.responseDataFormat=json&callinfo.apiKey=gd8n8b2kxqw6jq5mutsbrvur
