digikey

A scraping guide for collecting parts data from DigiKey category pages. DigiKey is an electronics distributor, and its category pages show parts in an HTML table with technical columns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to collect manufacturer part numbers, availability, prices, package information, and other category-table fields. It is intended for browser-based access followed by HTML parsing.
Why use it?
It explains how to get past Cloudflare’s block on basic command-line requests. It also avoids rebuilding data from an API because the needed table is already in the page.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

digikey scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

description: Proven scraping playbook for digikey.com /en/products/category/ listings. Cloudflare challenge (cf-mitigated: challenge) blocks bare curl with HTTP 403, but a puppeteer connection to the user's real Chrome v

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 155 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

DigiKey (digikey.com)

Cloudflare-protected catalog with a fully server-rendered HTML product table. Real Chrome connect kills the challenge in one navigation. Pure DOM scrape — no API replay needed, every parametric column is in the table.

Detection

Signal Value
CDN Cloudflare (server: cloudflare, cf-ray)
Anti-bot Cloudflare challenge — cf-mitigated: challenge, HTTP 403 on bare curl
Framework Server-rendered HTML (no __NEXT_DATA__, no SPA hydration needed)
Auth Not required
Captcha None visible after CF clears

Bare curl https://www.digikey.com/en/products/category/microcontrollers/685 returns:

HTTP/2 403
cf-mitigated: challenge
server: cloudflare

…with a 4.7KB challenge HTML body. Fetch / node-fetch / requests are all blocked the same way.

Architecture

  • Single canonical category URL: /en/products/category/<slug>/<id> (e.g. microcontrollers = 685).
  • HTML returned by Cloudflare-cleared session contains a <table> with:
    • <thead><th> cells for ~28 columns: blank (image), Mfr Part #, Quantity Available, Price, Tariff Status, Series, Package, Product Status, DigiKey Programmable, Core Processor, Core Size, Speed, Connectivity, Peripherals, Number of I/O, Program Memory Size, Program Memory Type, EEPROM Size, RAM Size, Voltage - Supply (Vcc/Vdd), Data Converters, Oscillator Type, Operating Temperature, Grade, Qualification, Mounting Type, Supplier Device Package, Package / Case.
    • <tbody><tr> rows, 25 per page by default. Each row has a[href*="/en/products/detail/<mfg>/<part>/<digikey-id>"] and a thumbnail <img> from mm.digikey.com.
  • Column set varies by category (microcontrollers exposes core/speed/memory; capacitors expose capacitance/voltage/ESR/etc.). Don't hard-code columns — read <thead> and zip.
  • The only XHR seen during page load is /en/api/scTools/Header2021/GeoInfo (geo banner). No internal product API call is needed — everything is in the SSR HTML.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

digikey is a skill published in the GitHub repository AgentComputerAI/torch (5 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 140 tokens to every session and 2,305 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
