TI-API: Texas Instruments API burst limit

Jan Tore Karlstad

Part Number: TI-API

We are currently working on implementing an API to get product information from Texas Instruments. We are currently hit with a small issue with the burst limit of how many calls we can make to Texas Instruments’s API,
which is five per second. Currently we must call two different API endpoints, /v2/store/products/{TiPartNumber} and /v1/products/{ProductIdentifier}, for each component to get the information we need.
We must do this because /v2/store/products/{TiPartNumber} contains all the information we need, except the lead time of the component. In the API documentation it mentions that we could contact TI for a nonstandard access limit to the API.
Is this something you could help us with?

Jan,

I'm closing this thread, per our private conversation. To summarize the "limit" - You should only need to use /v2/store/products/{TiPartNumber}. "Limit" only shows IF there is a purchasing limit on the part (as stated in the spec on TI.com). Below is screen shot of the TI Store API spec (left-side, sample JSON code (middle), sample query I ran of a part that does NOT have a limit. As you can see the "limit" line is not in the response.

Feel free to open another thread if you need to.

Regards,

Faye

Some information can be downloaded for all products at once using the catalog - /v2/store/products/catalog.

We also make one or two requests for one product before ordering or for other needs. So we set a delay of 250ms there so as not to exceed 5 requests to API per second. For larger orders, the delay is noticeable, but at least it works.

Petr,

Thanks for contributing to help others!

We also shared with Jan to slow the calls to comply with the 20/sec 600/min rate limits.

Thank you again!!
