Octopart
What used to be the standalone Octopart REST API has been folded into Nexar, whose GraphQL endpoint now serves the same electronic-component sourcing data plus additional design and manufacturing schemas. Access requires an OAuth2 client-credentials token from Nexar's identity service, confirmed live by an invalid_client error from the real token endpoint, rather than the old non-expiring Octopart API key. New applications get a free evaluation tier before paid Standard/Pro/Enterprise plans apply.
