Welcome to the Responsible Use page for the Renesas Web Data API. This API provides direct, real-time access to product metadata, including products, product parts, documents, boards & kits, packages, and images. With this capability comes a shared responsibility to use the API thoughtfully and in a way that ensures reliability and fairness for all users.
The Web Data API is designed to support modern, API-first integrations and to accelerate development. Please follow the guidelines below when building and operating your integrations.
The Web Data API is intended for legitimate business, development, and integration use cases involving Renesas product data. Do not use the API to bypass intended functionality, perform excessive scraping, or replicate internal Renesas systems.
If a use case seems questionable, it likely requires reconsideration.
While the API is designed for scale, it operates on shared infrastructure. To help maintain consistent performance:
- Avoid unnecessary or aggressive polling
- Cache responses when appropriate
- Request only the data your application requires
Efficient usage benefits both your integration and the broader ecosystem.
Authentication, authorization, and rate limits are enforced to protect the platform. Do not attempt to bypass these mechanisms or share API keys with unauthorized users or systems.
If your use case requires higher throughput or expanded access, contact Renesas through the appropriate support or partnership channels.
Data provided through the Web Data API represents official Renesas product information. Ensure that:
- Data is displayed and used accurately
- Context is not misleading
- Updates are handled correctly as product information changes over time
Downstream systems and users rely on accurate and responsible data usage.
Product metadata evolves. New products are introduced, existing data may be updated, and some items may be deprecated. Design integrations to gracefully handle:
- Missing or deprecated fields
- Schema changes
- Newly introduced values or relationships
Resilient integrations reduce maintenance effort and unexpected failures.
Keep API keys secure and never expose them in client-side code or public repositories. Monitor usage and rotate keys promptly if you suspect compromise.
Most security issues arise from simple oversights—taking basic precautions goes a long way.
The Renesas Web Data API exists to help you build faster, reduce manual processes, and create reliable integrations. Whether powering internal tools, customer-facing applications, or partner systems, aim to build solutions that are scalable, maintainable, and useful.
Responsible usage helps ensure the Renesas Web Data API remains stable, performant, and available as it continues to grow. Thoughtful integrations benefit everyone.
Disclaimer: This page provides general guidance only. All use of the Renesas Web Data API is subject to applicable terms, conditions, and agreements. Avoid any usage that may compromise security, performance, or compliance.
🚀 Happy building.
