API Resources

TrustedParts.com was created by the Electronic Components Industry Assocation (ECIA) to support the authorized distribution of electronic components. As part of that effort, we offer free API services that can be used by component manufacturers, OEMs, contract manufacturers and others.

Inventory API

The TrustedParts.com Inventory API lets you programmatically retrieve authorized electronic component data and tailor how it’s displayed on your website or internal applications. Powered by one of the fastest and most robust electronic component search engines available, the API delivers access to real-time stock and pricing, product descriptions, datasheet and product links, supply and lifecycle risk, lead times, and more.

Our Inventory API is completely free and provides verified, authorized results. Find out more in our Inventory API documentation.

If you would like a turnkey distributor inventory solution that requires almost no technical effort, please check out our Distributor Stock Search tool (DSS). You can compare the Inventory API and DSS in our blog article.

These resources help you get accurate, complete results from our APIs by using recognized manufacturer and distributor names or ID values.

The Trusted Source for Authorized Inventory

TrustedParts.com was created by ECIA in collaboration with participating distributors as a free service to support the authorized electronic components industry by giving users access to aggregated price and availability data for genuine parts from only authorized sources.

While other inventory aggregation sites may include data from sources that are not authorized by the manufacturer, ECIA works extensively on an ongoing basis to verify that price and availability data displayed on TrustedParts.com is only for products for which the distributors are authorized/franchised. This is why TrustedParts.com is the best source for searching the authorized channel for the electronic components you need.
Membership in ECIA is not required to participate on the site.
