Written by Luminovo Support

⚠️ Note: Avnet provides different APIs for different regions. Please choose the correct API and documentation based on your location.

Find the documentation for the Avnet EMEA APIs below.

⏳ Estimated time to receive your API key: 7+ days

ℹ️ Note that the Avnet USA API exclusively supports contract prices.


Step 1 – APIM Registration

  1. Click Sign Up (top right).

  2. Complete the registration form and click Sign Up.

    • In the Avnet Account Number field, enter your account number.

    • If you’re unsure, contact [email protected].

  3. Check your email for a validation link and confirm your registration.

Step 2 – Request API Credentials

  1. Log in to your account: Avnet Sign In.

  2. Click on Browse APIs → Product & Pricing.

3. Fill out the subscription form.

4. Accept the Terms of Use (if agreed) and click Subscribe.

You will receive two emails:

  • A confirmation of your request.

  • A notification once your API subscription is approved.

At first login after approval, you will be shown a Secret Value (your subscription key).

⚠️ Important: Copy and save this key immediately — it will be masked afterwards and cannot be retrieved. If lost, you will need to generate a new one via your APIM profile.

For more details, see Avnet’s How-To Guide.


Step 3 – Activate the API in Luminovo

Once approved, log in to your APIM profile. You’ll see an overview of your credentials:

  • Primary Key (Find under subscription)

  • Client ID

  • Secret Key (create a new one if needed — remember, it will only be visible once)

  • Scope (from Authorization Details on the Profile page.)

🔑 To connect your keys in Luminovo, the mapping works like this:

  • Client ID (Luminovo) → Client ID (Avnet)

  • Secret value (Luminovo) → Secret Value (Avnet)

  • Primary key (Luminovo) → Primary Key (Avnet)

In Luminovo, go to Settings > Supplier integrations and click the Avnet USA row to open its details. Click Connect account, fill in the fields and click Save. Client ID, Secret value and Primary key are required. Sold to account number is optional; the form marks it as “Required for multi-account functionality”.
