Integrations
Use DECODE via the API.
Everything DECODE extracts from a design package comes back as structured JSON, ready for your quoting flow, portal, or ERP: costing line items, fabrication specs, DFM findings, BOM data, and designer notes.
Access
API keys, docs, and a playground.
Create API keys from your portal account, read the API reference, and use the in-portal Playground to try queries against your own projects before writing a line of integration code.
What Comes Back
Every PCB attribute, decoded.
Every DECODE module returns its results through the same API as structured JSON.
01
PCB Design Analysis
- Automated fab-note extraction and consolidation
- Automated layer stackup and count
- Board dimension and outline identification
- Area of finished copper per layer
- Layer stats: trace widths, drill holes, pad dimensions
- Drill scale & unit correction
- Cost driver and risk identification
02
BOM Analysis
- Clean up messy BOMs
- Automated BOM formatting and field mapping
- Procurement links for every component
- Risk report: sourceability and EOL status
- Component cost and availability from global market sources
- Attrition and excess material calculation
- Compliance data (RoHS, REACH, …)
- Tariff impact
- Exceptions reporting
03
Assembly Analysis
- Unique part count per project
- Placements per board and per order
- Part package classification (SMD, TH, BGA, …)
- Placement category assignment
- Assembly complexity assessment
- Assembly options detection
04
Project Pricing
- PCB-only, assembly-only, or turnkey pricing
- Market and manufacturer-specific pricing
- Fully configurable pricing models and rules
Provenance
Every number, traceable to its source.
Every board spec, BOM mapping, and cost-driver decision points back at the file, layer, and extraction method it came from. Audit any number.
GraphQL
Request exactly the data you need.
One endpoint. Three operations: createProject, analyzeProject, exportProduct.

}Who Integrates It
Built to sit inside your systems.
01
Quoting Flows
Feed extracted board specs, BOM costing, and pricing line items straight into your quote engine, with no manual re-keying between analysis and quote.
02
Customer Portals
Let customers upload a design package and see specs, findings, and pricing in your own portal, backed by DECODE analysis behind the scenes.
03
ERP & MRP Systems
Push cleaned BOMs, sourcing data, and cost breakdowns into the systems that plan purchasing and production.
