Steps

  1. Create a My Mouser account and submit the online Search API Request Form (linked from mouser.com/api-search) to request access; Mouser emails you a Search API key.
  2. Authenticate every call by appending your key as the apiKey query parameter, e.g. https://api.mouser.com/api/v1/search/keyword?apiKey=<your key> — no OAuth2 flow is used.
  3. For keyword search, POST a JSON body wrapping a SearchByKeywordRequest object with keyword, records, and startingRecord fields to /api/v1/search/keyword.
  4. For part-number search, POST a JSON body wrapping a SearchByPartRequest object with mouserPartNumber (and optional partSearchOptions) to /api/v1/search/partnumber.
  5. Parse the response for fields like MouserPartNumber, ManufacturerPartNumber, Availability, DataSheetUrl, and price breaks for each matched part.
  6. Page through additional results by incrementing startingRecord, since each call returns at most 50 parts regardless of the records value requested.
