Check data availability

Introduction

Data are added, updated and deleted on TraceParts 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Web services allow you to determine whether the data that you wish to access are present, so that you can use all of the TraceParts API.

Verification using your own information

You can check whether a catalog or part number is available for your API key using your own information.
With CatalogAvailability, you can use the catalog name such as it is stored in your system using a dictionary of names associated with a catalog.
Similarly, with PartNumberAvailability, the part number can be called such as it is stored in your system.
In both cases, the identifier used by TraceParts will be returned, so that it can be used for the rest of the TraceParts API.
