# NAME
API::Octopart - Simple inteface for querying part status across vendors at octopart.com.
# SYNOPSIS
my $o = API::Octopart->new(
token => 'abcdefg-your-octopart-token-here',
cache => "$ENV{HOME}/.octopart/cache",
include_specs => 1,
ua_debug => 1,
query_limit => 10
);
# Query part stock:
my %opts = (
currency => 'USD',
max_moq => 100,
min_qty => 10,
max_price => 4,
#mfg => 'Murata',
);
print Dumper $o->get_part_stock_detail('RC0805FR-0710KL', %opts);
print Dumper $o->get_part_stock_detail('GQM1555C2DR90BB01D', %opts);
# METHODS
- $o = API::Octopart->new(%opts) - Returns new Octopart object.
Object Options (%opt):
- token => 'abcdefg-your-octopart-token-here',
This is your Octopart API token. You could do something like this to read the token from a file:
token => (sub { my $t = `cat ~/.octopart/token`; chomp $t; return $t})->(),
- include\_specs => 1
If you have a PRO account then you can include product specs:
- cache => "$ENV{HOME}/.octopart/cache"
An optional (but recommended) cache directory to minimize requests to Octopart:
- cache\_age => 3
The cache age (in days) before re-querying octopart. Defaults to 30 days.
- query\_limit: die if too many API requests are made.
Defaults to no limit. I exhasted 20,000 queries very quickly due to a bug!
This might help with that, set to a reasonable limit while testing.
- ua\_debug => 1
User Agent debugging. This is very verbose and provides API communication details.
- json\_debug => 1
JSON response debugging. This is very verbose and dumps the Octopart response
in JSON.
- $o->has\_stock($part, %opts) - Returns the number of items in stock
$part: The model number of the part
%opts: Optional filters. No defaults are specified, it will return all unless limited.
- min\_qty => <n> - Minimum stock quantity, per seller.
If a sellerhas fewer than min\_qty parts in stock then the seller will be excluded.
- max\_moq => <n> - Maximum "minimum order quantity"
This is the max MOQ you will accept as being in
stock. For example, a 5000-part reel might be more
than you want for prototyping so set this to 10 or
100.
- seller => <regex> - Seller's name (regular expression)
This is a regular expression so something like
'Mouser|Digi-key' is valid.
- mfg => <regex> - Manufacturer name (regular expression)
Specifying the mfg name is useful if your part model
number is similar to those of other manufacturers.
- currency => <s> - eg, 'USD' for US dollars
Defaults to include all currencies
- $o->get\_part\_stock($part, %opts) - Returns a simple stock structure
$part, %opts: same as has\_stock().
Returns the following structure:
{
'Mouser' => {
'moq_price' => '0.2',
'moq' => 1,
'stock' => 24071
},
'Digi-Key' => {
'moq_price' => '0.2',
'moq' => 1,
'stock' => 10000
}
};
- $o->get\_part\_stock\_detail($part, %opts) - Returns a stock detail structure
$part, %opts: same as has\_stock().
Returns a structure like this:
[
{
'mfg' => 'Yageo',
'sellers' => {
'Digi-Key' => {
'moq' => 1,
'moq_price' => '0.1',
'price_tier' => {
'1' => '0.1',
'10' => '0.042',
'100' => '0.017',
'1000' => '0.00762',
'2500' => '0.00661',
'5000' => '0.00546'
},
'stock' => 4041192
},
...
},
'specs' => {
'case_package' => '0805',
'composition' => 'Thick Film',
'contactplating' => 'Tin',
'leadfree' => 'Lead Free',
'length' => '2mm',
'numberofpins' => '2',
'radiationhardening' => 'No',
'reachsvhc' => 'No SVHC',
'resistance' =>
"10k\x{ce}\x{a9}", # <- That is an Ohm symbol
'rohs' => 'Compliant',
'tolerance' => '1%',
'voltagerating_dc_' => '150V',
'width' => '1.25mm',
...
}
},
...
]
- $o->octo\_query($q) - Queries the Octopart API
Return the JSON response structure as a perl ARRAY/HASH given a query meeting Octopart's
API specification.
- $o->octo\_query\_count() - Return the number of API calls so far.
- $o->query\_part\_detail($part)
Return the JSON response structure as a perl ARRAY/HASH given a part search term
shown as "$part". This function calls $o->octo\_query() with a query from Octopart's
"Basic Example" so you can easily lookup a specific part number. The has\_stock()
and get\_part\_stock\_detail() methods use this query internally.
