Mouser provides two separate API keys:
- one for the cart and orders
- one for part searches.
Go to Mouser's API hub to request the keys.
To store the keys, two options:
- create two environmental variables
MOUSER_ORDER_API_KEY
andMOUSER_PART_API_KEY
with the respective values of each key - create a file named
mouser_api_keys.yaml
with the order API key on the first line and the part API key on a second line.
⚠️ Using themouser_api_keys.yaml
file method, make sure to runmouser
commands in the same folder!
The keys will be automatically loaded for each API request.
pip install mouser
- Create virtual environment and activate it
- Run
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Install
poetry
package:pip install poetry
- Run
poetry install
mouser
python mouser_cli.py
poetry run mouser
This command line tool reflects the usage from Mouser's API structure documented here.
The first positional argument is the category of the request: cart (for MouserCart), order, history (for MouserOrderHistory) and search (for SearchAPI).
The second argument is the type of operation from the list of operations for each category.
Run mouser --help
for more information about the usage.
The examples below assume this package was installed using Pip (for more options, see above)
