Digi-Key
Digi-Key's api.digikey.com gateway runs a genuine OAuth2 flow: its authorization endpoint rejects requests missing a client_id, and resource endpoints additionally require a client-specific header, ruling out simple API-key auth. Access to product, ordering, and barcode data is free with per-product rate limits, and CORS is explicitly configured, echoing the request Origin on both live calls and OPTIONS preflights.

Auth quickstart
- Register an app / run the OAuth flow to obtain a bearer token.
- Send it as an Authorization header
Authorization: Bearer <token>
Your key is stored only in this browser (localStorage) and sent directly to the API — never to greatapis.
Developer reference
120 requests/minute and 1,000 requests/day per standard API product (e.g. Product Information, Barcode, Order Support); Create BOM/Ordering/Quoting are capped at 10 requests/minute -- per developer.digikey.com/tutorials-and-resources/shared-concepts's "Rate Limits" table
