Distributor API information requirements

Last updated: September 13, 2024

Arrow

Required distributor information

  1. Arrow Pricing & Availability API login (i.e. a username) and key

  2. Arrow Order API login (i.e. a username) and key

  3. Arrow Order API integration config values for shipToAddressId and ucAddressId

Steps

  1. If you do not have API credentials yet, please request an API key

  2. Please request Arrow Pricing & Availability API credentials that at least grant Cofactr access to the first 4 Arrow inventory sources listed in the docs:

  3. Please share your Arrow API credentials with Cofactr

    • Cofactr will need your Arrow Pricing & Availability API login (i.e. a username) and key for negotiated pricing.

    • Cofactr will need your Arrow Order API login (i.e. a username) and key for order management. Note that this is a separate set of credentials from the credentials used for the Arrow pricing and availability API:

  4. Please share your Arrow Order API integration config values.

    • Cofactr will need your shipToAddressId so we can communicate the order’s ship-to address to Arrow. After you’ve been given access, api@arrow.com should reach out with this information:

    • If you also have ucAddressId in your possession, please share this information with the Cofactr team. Note though that, after referencing the API documentation, ship_to_address_id alone is seemingly sufficient. However, Arrow also supports submitting orders with both IDs:

  5. A Cofactr engineer will need to test the confirmation from the first step
