CBCNBeebayMachine-readable sourcing

Agent Access

Structured product discovery with commercial boundaries.

CNBeebay provides a public, read-only interface for catalog identity matching and CAS-list prechecks. Supplier confirmation remains part of the formal inquiry process.

01 / Public interface

Three tools for candidate identification.

These endpoints search the currently published website catalog. The wider source library is handled through the inquiry workflow until full-catalog synchronization is available.

01

Catalog search

Search the published catalog by CAS number, catalog number, chemical name or SMILES and receive ranked identity candidates.

GET /api/catalog/search
02

Product identity

Read one published catalog record with its listed attributes, record status and required commercial review state.

GET /api/catalog/products/{catalogNumber}
03

CAS-list precheck

Check up to 100 identifiers in one request and separate exact matches, possible matches and records requiring full-source review.

POST /api/cas-lists/precheck

02 / Interpretation

A catalog result is the beginning of qualification.

Every machine response states the searched scope and the next required review. This prevents a catalog record from being interpreted as stock, a quotation or a compliance approval.

01

Discovery

A match confirms that a record exists in the published catalog subset. It does not confirm current supply.

02

Qualification

Specification, purity, scale, manufacturer fit and lead time remain subject to supplier review.

03

Commercial control

Price, payment terms, compliance decisions and orders are not exposed through the public interface.

04

Human handoff

Agents may prepare a candidate list. A formal inquiry remains the route to a confirmed commercial response.

03 / Human-reviewed handoff

Prepare the list by machine. Confirm the business case with CNBeebay.

Include identifiers, target specification, expected quantity and destination. CNBeebay will coordinate source qualification and return a structured response.
