Differences between Octopart.com and Nexar API data

Modified on Tue, 10 Dec at 4:10 PM


We are excited to announce that we have transitioned Octopart.com to use an additional data source. This enhancement means that the data shown on Octopart.com and the data accessed via our API may differ. We want to highlight that this change is designed to bring several key improvements for Octopart.com users:
  • Enhanced Accuracy and Variety: Leveraging two sources enables us to offer a wider range of information and more detail, which ensures a richer and more comprehensive data set tailored for the needs of our website visitors.
  • Faster Updates: This enhancement allows us to more swiftly incorporate new product information and updates as they become available.
  • Increased Flexibility: With access to two data sources, we are confident Octopart.com users will benefit from greater coverage and improved customization when searching.

This data includes, but is not limited to:

  • Tech-specs
  • Latest lifecycle status
  • RoHS
  • REACH
  • Datasheets
  • Descriptions
This change provides more comprehensive data for Octopart.com visitors. The additional data source is not available through the API and there is no change to the data offered via the API.
