Designlink possible with Farnell (Europe) ordercodes?

Hi Martin

I found the solution

Juste change this line as follow and all will work :

string DISearchURL = "be.farnell.com"; // Unified to one URL since May 12

Best regards

The country matters because Designlink want to show pricing in your

local currency. Setting the country code to the US code should allow you

to check Newark's inventory.

Hi Jorge.

Good Lord, why does which country we live in even matter? Isn't this just about accessing a database to identify the parts we want, or is it for actual ordering? I live in Norway, so yeah, guess I will have to wait long and hard before I get to be included... Edited the script as described, but didn't work... Why exactly can't we just access Newark?

Hi again

I found this old post and guess what ... it worked !

designlink.zip

Hope this help

(we need to have a look on the code he use ;-)

Hi Lieven

Many thanks

When I run the script I have dialog saying :

Can't open '/Applications/EAGLE-6.5.0/fdlQuery.html'

Permission denied

I have created the file and also file:///Applications/EAGLE-6.5.0/fdlResponse.html

so now the script runs but I have the same error as usual

Error while accessing 'https://api.element14.com/pffind/services/SearchService':

299 Error downloading https://api.element14.com/pffind/services/SearchService?callinfo.apiKey=sf4kqy6u29tkt95gg5a3wejz - server replied: Bad Request

<h1>Bad Request</h1>

btw here are the content of the 2 html files

fdlQuery.html :

and fdlResponse.httml :

any other ideas ?

Hello Jean-Luc,

you can find it here: https://gist.github.com/hollie/bc057d8c9ea3805e4f87.

Note however: I tried the modified script on another computer with another locale (and another OS) and it was not working there. So I'm not sure it will help you further. I did not debug it further. It would be cool if element14 people would have a look at this to fix it for everybody. Maybe ins tread of guessing the URL/server and currency from the system settings they could give users an option to select the settings before running the script?

Best regards,

Lieven.

Hi Lieven,

Can you post your designlink-inc.ulp for Belgium ?

I modified it according you suggestion but It doesnt work for me

many thanks in advance

Jean-Luc

A follow-up: when I change the country information line of 'UK' to

   "UK EUR 0 be.farnell.com",

and set DIcountry = "UK"

Then the designlink process seems to work.

Jens,

I am experiencing the same problem you have. I got the script to recognize the correct country by copying the 3 designlink ULP files to a separate folder, then making the change to desiglink-inc.ulp

DIcountry = "BE";

(Note, making the change to 'language' does not seem to work).

Then run the script designlink-order.ulp from the folder you copied the scripts to. The script then at least tries to connect to the service defined for Belgium. I verified this by adding a debug print statement in the designlink-inc.ulp InitCountryData function.

Unfortunately I then get an error:

Error while accessing 'https://api.element14.com/pffind/services/SearchService':

299 Error downloading https://api.element14.com/pffind/services/SearchService?callinfo.apiKey=<snip> - server replied: Bad Request

<h1>Bad Request</h1>

So apparently this functionality is broken for Belgium. You can get it partially working by changing the DIcountry to "UK", note that you get price in pounds then but at least the order codes seem to be correct.

@jorge can you please check why designlink is not working for country code "BE"? I guess there is some configuration on the API server that does not allow request with the country code "BE".

Kind regards,

Lieven.

Hi Jorge,

I'm having exactly the same problem here. All options have been tried but I cannot get into the Dutch ("NL") Farnell store. Only into Newark.

Any further suggestions on how to solve this?

Thanks,

Martin
