ℹ️ Note that the DigiKey API supports list prices as well as contract prices.
What changes compared to DigiKey v3
Under Settings > Supplier integrations you will find two DigiKey entries:
DigiKey (V4) is the current integration. Use it for every new connection.
DigiKey is the old v3 integration. It carries a yellow Deprecated tag that links to this article.
The two versions are connected in different ways:
| DigiKey (v3, deprecated) | DigiKey (V4) |
How you connect | Connect account sends you to the DigiKey login page, where you log in with your My DigiKey account | You create a production app in the DigiKey developer portal (steps 1 to 6 below) and enter its Client ID and Client secret in Luminovo |
Location and currency | Store location and Currency | Country and Currency (the currencies on offer depend on the country) |
Contract prices | Customer ID | Account ID (optional, marked “Required for contract prices”) |
New credentials can only be entered in DigiKey (V4). The old DigiKey entry has no fields for a client ID or client secret.

Step 7 - Enter credentials in Luminovo
Now go back into your Luminovo account, open Settings > Supplier integrations and click the DigiKey (V4) row to open its details:
Click Connect account:
Enter your credentials and click Save. Client ID, Client secret, Country and Currency are required. Account ID is optional and must be a number (see the note below):
Now you should have successfully integrated your DigiKey v4 API with Luminovo.
If you expect to receive contract price offers from DigiKey, from the DigiKey developer portal, click on "My account" in the top bar. It will show one or more Account ID(s):
Pick the correct Account ID from the list and enter it in the Account ID field of the DigiKey (V4) entry under Supplier integrations:
Please, leave the Account ID blank if you are not expecting contract price offers, as using an Account ID will make more requests to DigiKey and drain your API usage quota more quickly.
DigiKey gives 1000 requests/day as default rate limit, which is pretty low. We recommend you to increase your API limits, as documented below:
API rate limit upgrade
If you exceed the API rate, please send an e-mail to the contact person listed below:
