We're happy to announce a new, more powerful version of our search API. With our new API you can access technical data and purchasing information on millions of electronic components. You can also use our API to add parametric filters and perform sophisticated queries such as search drilldowns:

Our goal is to give everyone access to Octopart's data and search technology so we are providing our API free of charge. In fact, if you are building a consumer-facing app we offer revenue sharing opportunities. If you want us to help you monetize your product then send us an email.

Our mission is to build tools to help engineers and scientists save the world. But we can't do it alone. We know that there are some amazing developers out there waiting to get their hands on electronic parts data. If you have an idea for an app that will help engineers and scientists to save the world, start hacking today.
