Boeing APIshop.boeing.com ↗
Access Boeing's parts catalog via API. Search parts, retrieve technical specs, shipping attributes (ITAR, ECCN, hazmat), categories, brands, and suppliers.
What is the Boeing API?
This API exposes 12 endpoints covering Boeing's shop.boeing.com parts catalog, from browsing top-level categories with list_product_categories to retrieving per-part technical data and shipping classification fields like ECCN, ITAR status, and hazmat flags. You can search by keyword, drill into subcategories, enumerate brands and suppliers, and pull full product detail records identified by supplier-prefixed part IDs such as BDSIS4_BACB30LU4-4.
No input parameters required.

Typed, relational, agent-ready
A generated client with real types, enums, and the links between objects — the structure a flat JSON response can't carry. Autocompletes in your editor and reads cleanly to coding agents.

}About the Boeing API
Catalog Navigation
list_product_categories and get_homepage both return the same top-level category array — each object carries a name, a count of products, and a query field. From there, get_category accepts a category slug (e.g. airframe-parts, engines, electrical) and returns subcategories with product counts. get_subcategory goes one level deeper, requiring both a category_id and a subcategory_id to return sub-subcategory breakdowns and a total_products string.
Part Search and Discovery
search_parts accepts a query string plus optional page (0-indexed) and page_size parameters. It returns a products array — each product includes code, name, description, and absoluteUrl — along with a pagination object (totalResults, currentPage, totalPages) and a facets array for further filtering. Note that broad, high-volume search terms like bolt may time out; narrower terms return more reliably. get_search_autocomplete accepts a partial term and returns up to 6 suggestion objects, each with a value field.
Part Details and Technical Attributes
Part identifiers follow the format SUPPLIER_PARTNUMBER, where the supplier prefix is one of BDI, BDSIS4, or BPP. These IDs are discoverable from the code field in search_parts results. get_part_details returns the full product record including aircraftMakes, aircraftModels, and boeingProductVariantOption arrays. get_part_technical_info isolates fields like leadTime, ataNumber, ataChapter, and mfgCertified. get_part_shipping_details returns eccn, itar, dryIce, and isHazmat — all nullable strings.
Brands, Suppliers, and Overstock
list_brands and list_suppliers each return a flat array of objects with name, count, and query fields, giving a full view of catalog sourcing. get_overstock_parts returns paginated overstock listings in the same product-array shape as search_parts, including facets and pagination metadata.
The Boeing API is a managed, monitored endpoint for shop.boeing.com — not a raw scraper you maintain. Every endpoint is automatically health-checked on a schedule, and when shop.boeing.com changes and a check fails, the API is automatically queued for repair and re-verified. It is built to keep working as the site underneath it changes.
This isn't an official shop.boeing.com API — it's an independent, maintained REST wrapper over public data. Where the source has no official API (or only a limited one), Parse gives you a stable contract over a source that never promised one, and keeps it current. Need a new endpoint or field? You can revise it yourself in plain English and the agent rebuilds it against the live site in minutes — contributing the change back to the shared API is free.

Does shop.boeing.com have an official developer API?+
What does `get_part_shipping_details` return, and are the fields always populated?+
get_part_shipping_details returns four fields: eccn (Export Control Classification Number), itar (ITAR control status), dryIce (whether dry ice shipping applies), and isHazmat (hazardous material flag). All four are nullable strings — many parts will return null for one or more of these fields depending on how the listing is classified.How do I discover valid part IDs to use with `get_part_details` or `get_part_technical_info`?+
search_parts query and inspect the code field on each product object. That value is the part ID in SUPPLIER_PARTNUMBER format (e.g. BDSIS4_BACB30LU4-4). The supplier prefix will be one of BDI, BDSIS4, or BPP.Does the API return pricing or availability/stock quantity for parts?+
Are there any known reliability issues with `search_parts`?+
bolt as an example — may time out due to the volume of matching results upstream. Using more specific multi-word terms or part-number fragments reliably returns results. Pagination is 0-indexed via the page parameter.
