Steps
Log into the MacroFab Platform, then under account Settings > API Keys create a key — this is fully self-serve, no approval or sales contact needed.
Use the key to call the API Reference endpoints at apidocs.macrofab.com/reference for the Orders and Deals resources.
For a self-service/transactional order placed through the web platform's instant-quote flow, fetch it directly by its Order ID — it will have no deal_id.
For an order that originated from a custom sales quote, fetch the Order, check its deal_id attribute, and if present fetch the matching Deal to get full pricing (an Order alone only shows that release's costs, not the whole quote).
Use the CPN (Customer Part Number) endpoints to create/manage your own part-number mappings against MacroFab's BOM data.
Known gotchas
Whether the API supports programmatically creating a brand-new order/quote (vs. only retrieving existing ones) could not be fully confirmed from the docs fetched — the documented model centers on Orders/Deals as things you retrieve after they exist via the web platform's instant-quote UI; verify current write support before relying on it.
Each Order holds only one PCB, one quantity, one delivery date — multi-release or multi-board quotes only resolve correctly if you also pull the parent Deal.
API key is a personal/account credential from Settings, not a separate partner-approval process like JLCPCB or PCBWay.
