Molex API Release Notes

• None

Several updates have been made across the Molex API portfolio. The Pricing API now includes lead time, stock availability and quoted quantity data, while contract pricing has been extended to surface both active and future contracts. The PCN Endpoint now supports filtering by date range. The Part Detail Endpoint adds lead time data for AirBorn US and UK manufacturing locations, expands CAD model formats and updates the compliance field USMCAExempt to reflect parts pending trade and customs review.

The Pricing API Endpoint (/products/pricing) introduces the quotedQuantity attribute for contract pricing, which returns the quantity used as the basis for the quoted price. The endpoint has also been updated to return both active and future contracts when the information is available. Prior to this change, only active contracts were returned. Book and contract pricing now includes both leadTimeDays and leadTimeWeeks. These two new attributes provide lead time and real-time stock availability along with pricing data, reducing the need to query the Part Detail endpoint separately.

The latest release adds the following features

Material Composition API

• Updated to return aluminum and steel composition data in addition to existing copper data
  • Expands material coverage for product compliance and tariff reporting

Order Detail APIs

• New API endpoints provide order-level data for integrations and reporting
• Returns header-level order details with basic attributes via the /orders endpoint, including all open, blocked, delivery-in-process, delivered and rejected orders, which can be queried using multiple parameters

This latest release introduces new order endpoints, several enhancements, expanded pricing details and improved product documentation links. The changes add new queries and attributes to help clients filter product catalogs, distinguish product origins, retrieve ordering data and obtain richer pricing and compliance information. It also fixes a bug in which caused datasheets to be linked incorrectly.
