NOX API

Programmatic access to quoting, ordering, and order tracking.

The NOX API is live. Request quotes, place orders, check stock availability, and track order status in real time, all from your own systems. Customers create and manage their own API keys in the customer portal.

Base URL & Authentication

All requests are HTTPS with JSON bodies. Authenticate with your API key in either header:

# base URL
https://developer-api.noxmetals.co

# either of these headers
x-api-key: nox_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Authorization: Bearer nox_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Endpoints

Full request and response schemas are in the interactive OpenAPI docs at developer-api.noxmetals.co/api/docs.

Example Request

POST /api/v1/rfqs

{
  "job_number": "JOB-4471",
  "lines": [
    {
      "alloy": "6061",
      "temper": "T651",
      "thickness": 1.0,
      "width": 12.0,
      "length": 24.0,
      "quantity": 5
    }
  ]
}

Example Response

202 Accepted

{
  "id": "1751eeef-…",
  "status": "pricing",
  "created_at": "2026-09-08T15:24:46Z",
  "poll_url": "/api/v1/rfqs/1751eeef-…"
}

Quoting is asynchronous: poll the returned URL until pricing_status is priced, then place the order with POST /api/v1/rfqs/{id}/purchase.

Get an API Key

API keys are self-served: sign in to the customer portal and create one under the API tab. The portal also carries the full endpoint reference with field-by-field request documentation.
