The estimated time to request and receive this API key is 7+ days.


New Avnet API (EMEA)

❗️For the guide on the old Avnet API, please scroll down to the section titled “Old Avnet API.”

For the new API, customers will need to request a subscription. If several users need to access it, we recommend using a group mailbox to register and create an account.

You can find instructions for obtaining your keys to Avnet’s Pricing & Availability API below.

If any additional assistance is required or you need help identifying your Avnet account number, please reach out to [email protected].

For the new API, oAuth2 authentication is used; there are 4 critical authentication components (look further below for details on where to view these):

  1. Primary Subscription Key

  2. Client ID

  3. Secret Key

  4. Scope

APIM Registration and API Subscription Instructions:

Steps for requesting the Customer Price API

  1. Access below URL

  2. Click on SIGN UP (on tool bar in upper right-hand corner)

  3. Complete Registration Fields and click SIGN UP

    In the Avnet Account Number field, input the account number above (contact [email protected] if you need help confirming your Avnet account number).

  4. A validation email will be received to the address entered on the Registration Form

  5. Access and confirm Registration from that email

    Once you have completed Registration SIGN IN to the same site above

  6. Click on BROWSE APIs

  7. Select Product & Pricing

  8. If you will be using a 3rd Party platform or integrator, provide their relevant information. Please fill in the calls per week field if you know your expected call volume per week (for example: “1000 parts per week”).

  9. Check the box to agree to Terms of Use and Click SUBSCRIBE

  10. An email confirming the request will be sent to you

  11. Once the API has been approved you will receive another email telling you to login and obtain your subscription key to begin calling into the API

  12. When you first return to login to APIM after obtaining the email, you will be displayed a Secret Value. This is your subscription key – you will want to copy and retain it immediately.

    NOTE: After the initial logic, the secret value/subscription key is masked and not fully visible. If you do not record this subscription key, a new one will need to be created. This is doable via the Profile section of APIM. Please contact Avnet for support in generating a new subscription key.

  13. This subscription key will be used as your identifier/authorization in the API request and will need to be provided to your integration partner.

For additional instructions, please review the How To page (https://apiportal.avnet.com/help/HowTo). Here, you can find detailed instructions on how to interact with the portal and how the components of your authentication work.

Your authentication components are visible on the profile page when logged in (https://apiportal.avnet.com/profile)

  1. Primary Subscription Key (Secondary is not required)

  2. Client ID

  3. Secret Key

    (Note you will need to generate this by clicking the Create New Secret button. The unmasked value will only be visible one time – after leaving the page it will be permanently masked and you would need to generate a new secret if the value was not captured).

  4. Scope

Thanks!
