Overview

This document details the Q-Star JSON/XML API

There is a demonstration for each of the functions provided that can be executed in real time. Use the Add and Delete functions with caution as the Q-Star account will be affected.

This API interface will be replacing the current XML interface which will be phased out within 6 months from the date of release and will no longer be supported.

Master Parts List

The Master Parts List (MPL) is a listing of all your main component parts that will be used within your company for obsolescence and interacting with the Q-Star API.

The MPL provides a single master file of all internal part numbers and their manufacturer part number equivalents. When loading multiple projects over time, eliminates the need to repetitively upload manufacturer part numbers for parts cross-referenced to your internal part numbers in the MPL.

Authentication

Authentication is used for accessing the Q-Star JSON/XML API. The login authentication must be called before any other function calls can be accessed from the API.

Authentication - Login

This operation must be requested in order for all subsequent requests to operate.

There is no need to authenticate every request. Once authenticated and the active session obtained (session cookie jar), the session will remain active for subsequent requests.

The session cookie jar received from the authentication response must be sent with all subsequent requests. The session will become invalidated after 20 minutes of inactivity.

MPL - Download

The full Master Parts List can be downloaded in one of three ways:

In its entirety.
Where parts have been updated from a specified date.
Where parts have been updated between specified dates.

The data can be downloaded in manageable blocks by specifying number of records per page and the page number required. The page information is contained in element ”PageInfo”.

URL format: https://qstar.qtec.us/QStarAPI/DownloadMPL

Optional parameters to only download parts where the availability data has changed between specific date(s) are:

Parameter	Comment
FromDate	date of last download
ToDate	default to today
Page	page number default 1
PageSize	records per page default 0 (all records)
Alert	Optional
PCN	Optional
GIDEP	Optional
fmt	Optional values "xml" or "json"

Thus to only download the parts that have changed since the last successful download, set the from date as the date of the last download. To avoid confusion with dates it is advisable to specify the date in ISO standard format it 2016-03-28.
