      Supplier Integrations: How to Connect to Texas Instruments

      Do you want to integrate the Texas Instruments API?

      What information can I retrieve?

      • Search API: the Texas Instruments API will retrieve information including your negotiated contract prices.
      • Order API: the Texas Instruments API will also allow you to place Purchase Orders via API when using ShopCQ.

      Please note that to request and use the Order API you need to get the Search API as well. Meaning you need to follow the steps for both.

      What information do I need to provide to CQ team?

      • Search API
        • API Key
        • API Secret
      • Order API
        • Checkout Profile ID

      What do I need to do?
