KiCost plug-in for Digi-Key API

This is an experimental plug-in to allow KiCost to do native Digi-Key API requests.

I'm not using the original project as a module because it pulls some rare dependencies.

The license is GPL v3 as the original work.

Quickstart

Register at Digi-Key. You need a valid user in order to register an application and in order to authenticate.
Go to the API portal: Digi-Key API Solutions
Login to Digi-Key from the API portal
Create an organization
Choose the Production Apps operation
Create a production app
- Choose a Production App name
- Use https://localhost:8139/digikey_callback for the OAuth Callback. So you can authorize the use of the app.
- Give a description
- Enable the Product Information API
- Click Add production app
Now select your newly created Production App
In the Credential section enable the options to show the Client ID and Client Secret
Copy these values to a file named config.txt containing:

DIGIKEY_CLIENT_ID = Client_ID_Value_for_your_app
DIGIKEY_CLIENT_SECRET = Client_Secret_Value_for_your_app

Create a folder ~/.config/kicost_digikey_api_v3
Store the config.txt file
Now install the plug-in:
- Clone the git repo somewhere using git clone https://github.com/set-soft/kicost-digikey-api-v3.git
- Enter to kicost-digikey-api-v3
- Install it using pip3 install -e .
Now test the plug-in:
- run python3 test_production.py
- A browser window will pop-up asking to login to Digi-Key. Login.
- Choose the allow option to enable the token.
- Now you'll load a local page, allow it.
- Now the token is stored on disk and you won't need to confirm it for months.
- You should get the information for Digi-Key part 296-6501-6-ND
