Dataset card

Type: not stated
Format: Tabular — per-MPN distributor offer records (distributor, authorized vs independent channel, price, quantity, lead time) behind search/BOM endpoints, plus commodity-index series and periodic narrative briefs
Volume: Very large: a continuously refreshed index spanning millions of MPNs across tens of authorized and independent distributors, each MPN yielding a time series of price, stock and lead-time observations; the brief itself uses only a handful of parts, but the underlying coverage behind its search endpoints is the whole catalog, and the referenced sourcing-trends and top-movers feeds are refreshed multiples per week
Users: est. hundreds of thousands of engineering and procurement users (a broadly used free part-search and BOM tool with 130 staff and an established engineer audience); exact account count not disclosed
History: not stated
Update frequency: not stated
Growth: Active — brief published May 21 2026 on a recurring 'Memory Shortage Watch' cadence, drawing on dated intervening briefs (May 15 sourcing trends, May 20 top movers), indicating multiple publications per week
Launched: ~2013 (Findchips launched as a parts-search product; the company's corporate record and long-standing market presence support a mid-2010s origin, with the Commodity IQ analytics layer added later)
