Hardware parts catalog API: actuators, motors, Jetson

Maglev Parts is an open catalog of 688 off-the-shelf hardware parts for hardware founders: compute modules, motors and motor drivers, robot actuators and transmissions, drone components and test equipment. Every part carries sources, dated prices, country of origin, NDAA and Blue UAS status, and a landed-cost estimate. No key or login is needed, and CORS is open. Base URL: https://trymaglev.com/parts

Endpoints

Endpoint	What it returns
`/api/parts.json`	The whole catalog in one request
`/api/parts/{id}.json`	One part
`/api/categories/{category}.json`	One category: `compute-modules`, `motors`, `actuators`, `drone`, `test-equipment`
`/api/search?q={query}&lens={lens}&ndaa={0\|1}`	Search by part number, brand or spec words
`/api/route?sub={subcategory}&{key}={min}-{max}`	Rank a subcategory against your requirements. Keys are listed at `/api/find/index.json`
`/api/plan?peak_torque_nm=&voltage_v=`	Plan a robot joint. Also takes `speed_rpm`, `max_mass_g`, `qty`
`/api/landed?id={id}&qty={n}&origin={ISO2}&freight={usd}`	US landed cost estimate
`/api/trade.json`	Duty data used for landed cost
`/api/test/joint-actuator.json`	Nine bench tests for a joint actuator and three priced bench kits
`/p/{id}/index.md`	One part as Markdown
`/openapi.json`	OpenAPI description of the catalog API

lens filters by where a part is made: any, cn (China including Hong Kong), not-cn, us, usmca (US, Canada, Mexico), allied.

Examples

Find Orin NX carriers not made in China:

curl "https://trymaglev.com/parts/api/search?q=orin%20nx&lens=not-cn"

Rank joint actuators with at least 60 N·m peak torque and under 1 kg:

curl "https://trymaglev.com/parts/api/route?sub=joint-actuators&peak_torque_nm=60-&mass_g=-1000"

Plan a 40 N·m joint on a 48 V bus:

curl "https://trymaglev.com/parts/api/plan?peak_torque_nm=40&voltage_v=48"

Data you can trust

Every price has a source URL and the date it was seen. Fields that are not confirmed say unknown. Each record has a confidence: VERIFIED (from the maker), REPORTED (a credible third party) or UNVERIFIED (a single weak source).

Use it from an agent

The same catalog is available as MCP tools at https://trymaglev.com/mcp, with no key: see Parts tools. Agent-readable summaries are at trymaglev.com/parts/llms.txt and the full catalog as Markdown at llms-full.txt. To buy listed parts, price unlisted ones or ask for custom versions, use the build_rfq tool or the order pad. Maglev returns one price for the whole request, fixed before you commit.
