Newark

Getting an API key pair

1. In order to get your account credentials, Newark requests you make an account with Element 14’s Partner Portal. It is suggested to use the same email registered for Farnell / Newark to create this account. You only need to make an account one time for both of these suppliers

2. Once you are logged in, Newark requests that you create an “app” in order to acquire your API keys. You can do this by filling out this form:

   https://partner.element14.com/apps/register

   Tricky Form Questions:

   Here are answers to form questions that may be confusing. For any additional questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to engineering@breadboard.com

   💡 NOTE: While this key by itself will get you the most current product data from Newark, it does not provide you with custom pricing associated with your account. To acquire custom pricing from Newark, an extra key is granted over email

   

4. (optional) In order to acquire custom pricing, please send the following email with engineering@breadboard.com CC’d to acquire the remaining credentials. If you are also seeking to make a direct connection with Farnell, you may send this email one time across both

   Subject: Farnell/Newark Custom Pricing Request
   
   Body:
   
   Hello,
   
   I am reaching out to acquire the remaining API key values needed to receive
   custom pricing from Newark/Farnell. Here are the app keys registered from
   the Element 14 Partner Portal:
   
   Breadboard-Farnell App key: 
       
        
   
        
   Breadboard-Newark App key: 
         
         
   
        
       

   You can expect an email response that will then yield the remaining key values:

   

5. Once you have the key from step 3 (and optionally the remaining values from step 4), you may now navigate over to your Breadboard account and insert this key

6. Navigate to Supplier Management, and search for Newark

   

7. Under API Connection, uncheck Proxy through Breadboard to open a form for your API keys and insert the following while ensuring no extra spaces or characters are added:

   API Key *: Insert the value from step 3 for Product Search API Standard key

   Customer ID: (optional) Insert the value from your email in step 4 for Newark’s Customer ID

   Secret Key: (optional) Insert the value from your email in step 4 for Newark’s Secret Key

   Click Test and Connect to API. You should see a message indicating that this succeeded if the credentials provided were correct.

8. Breadboard is now connected to Newark directly, and you can expect pricing and product information to reflect that in the app. For existing data uploaded prior to inserting these credentials, you can update market data by selecting Refresh Data
