Quickstart

Once you have your API key, you’re three commands away from your first order.

Get your API key

Email info@skynetparts.com to request access. Your key arrives in your inbox within one business day, along with the endpoint URLs and a sample call. See Authentication for what to include in your email.

Save the key

Set it as an environment variable called SKYNET_API_KEY so the examples below work as-is.

export SKYNET_API_KEY="sk_live_a7f3c2e1b4d9..."

Look up parts

Send the part numbers you want to order.

curl -X POST https://api.skynetparts.com/api/b2b/catalog \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SKYNET_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "part_numbers": ["MS21042L3", "AN3-5A"] }'

Response:

{
  "success": true,
  "found_parts": [
    {
      "part_id": "skynet_part_BWxLDSfV6dFV5o40VwVTV0arE-5dVB7VE22Jd1bb40zYqKv2eI7lRPsBJGk0JleZRO1NI5VQz6qe7KifEy24PQGAL0bZbcE",

    }
  ],
  "not_found": ["AN3-5A"],
  "summary": { "total_requested": 2, "found": 1, "not_found": 1 }
}

Copy the part_id from found_parts you’ll use it in the next step. Anything in not_found didn’t match our catalog; the response is still a success.
