Altium Developer Center

Altium Developer Center is the home for software engineers building on Altium's products. It covers main product areas each with its own APIs, SDKs, and integration surfaces.

Access to developer products is managed through Altium Developer Center, where you can enroll in programs to access Altium 365 API, Altium Designer SDK, Embeddable Viewer, and other developer products.

Altium 365

Altium 365 is a cloud platform for electronics design and collaboration. It gives developers programmatic access to Workspace data and workflows, as well as tools for embedding design experiences in external products.

Altium Designer

Altium Designer is an electronic design automation (EDA) tool used to design, simulate, and document printed circuit boards (PCBs). It provides delevelopers with programmatic access to the design data and powerful automation capabilities.

Octopart

Octopart is a search engine for electronic components. It exposes parts data, pricing, inventory, and distributor information through developer-accessible APIs.

What You Can Build

Developer Center supports a wide range of integration and automation scenarios. A few examples:

• Connect Workspace data to enterprise systems – sync Altium 365 projects, releases, and components with ERP, PLM, or internal dashboards using the Altium 365 API

• Embed interactive design viewing – let non-Altium users inspect schematics and PCBs inside your own portal or approval workflow using the Embeddable Viewer

• Enrich components and BOMs with supply chain data – pull live pricing, availability, and distributor offers from Octopart and surface them in your procurement or component management tooling

• Build a custom PLM integration – connect Altium 365 with a PLM system not supported out of the box, fitting into the same workflow Altium 365 users already know
