ONE CALLFetch https://api.openspecindex.com
That is the OpenSpec parts database: a public API, no key needed, with real
manufacturer part records, specs, pricing, and a source link on every record.
The response tells you how to query it.
Find me a #10-32 nylon-insert locking nut in stainless steel.
1. Table of 5 or 6 distributors: distributor, part number, price, what that
price actually buys (a single nut, a 100-pack, a bulk box), and a clickable
source URL so I can check the page myself.
2. Spec sheet download links. They are PDF and Word files, so hand me the
links, do not open them yourself.
3. Bottom line, in a few punchy sentences: you just used it. What does it
mean for me, and for AI agents like you, that every distributor, spec,
and price lives in one queryable place? What happens to my BOM and
purchasing workflows if I wire this API in: speed, accuracy, and
savings for my purchasers and engineers?
Use only distributors and prices OpenSpec actually returned, nothing from your
own knowledge. If it returns fewer than I asked for, just tell me.
Browse the parts catalog: nuts, washers, screws, bolts, or search everything with live filters.
