aid: high-tech name: High Tech kind: topic description: >- High Tech indexes the APIs, data services, and reference artifacts that power the electronics, semiconductor, hardware, and IoT industries. The landscape covers electronic component data and distribution (Octopart / Nexar, Digi-Key, Mouser, Arrow Electronics, Avnet, Newark / element14), ECAD and PCB design data (SnapEDA, Ultra Librarian, Altium 365 via Nexar Design), hardware lifecycle and IoT device management (AWS IoT, Azure IoT Hub, Particle, Golioth), bill-of-materials and component-search workflows used across hardware product engineering, and the authoritative manufacturer data that anchors a component record (manufacturer part number, manufacturer, datasheet, lifecycle status, RoHS / REACH compliance, real-time inventory and pricing across distributors). This index captures the canonical providers, the shape of a component record as JSON Schema, a JSON-LD context aligning with schema.org Product / Offer / Organization, and the domain vocabulary used across the high-tech component supply chain. url: >- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api-evangelist/high-tech/refs/heads/main/apis.yml image: https://kinlane-productions2.s3.amazonaws.com/apis-json/apis-json-logo.jpg type: Index access: 3rd-Party position: Reference created: '2026-05-23' modified: '2026-05-23' specificationVersion: '0.20' tags: - Arrow Electronics - Availability - Bill of Materials - BoM - Component Data - Datasheets - Digi-Key - Distributors - ECAD - Electronic Components - Electronics - Footprints - Hardware - High Tech - IoT - Lifecycle - Manufacturer Part Number - Manufacturers - Mouser - MPN - Nexar - Octopart - PCB Design - Pricing - RoHS - Semiconductors - SnapEDA - Supply Chain - Symbols - Ultra Librarian apis: - aid: high-tech:octopart-nexar name: Octopart / Nexar Supply API description: >- Nexar Supply (formerly Octopart API v4) is a GraphQL API that aggregates electronic component data from manufacturers and distributors worldwide.
