5. What are the differences between EDI and APIs?
EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is a batch-based, standardized-format method for exchanging business documents like orders and invoices between systems. APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), on the other hand, enable real-time, flexible data exchange, acting as a seamless connection to our electronic component databases. While APIs are more dynamic, they don’t replace EDI — both complement each other depending on business needs.
6. Are there any data limits for Order API?
There are no restrictions on the number of orders you can place using the Order API — you can submit as many as needed, with all transactions billed to your trade account. However, to ensure fair usage, API rate limits are in place. These limits are designed to support normal transaction volumes and typically do not affect users placing orders manually.
7. Do I need to use the results from Search API for Order API?
Using the Search API is not mandatory when placing orders through the Order API, but it is highly recommended.
